{"product_id":"mens-tactical-softshell-set-fleece-lined-hooded-jacket-and-tactical-pants","title":"Men's Tactical Softshell Set – Fleece-Lined Hooded Jacket and Tactical Pants","description":"\u003cp\u003eYou leave the house in three layers because you do not know what the day will do. By mid-morning the base layer is damp, the mid-layer is in your pack taking up the room your lunch needed, and the shell is still doing nothing about the cold. Then you stop moving to glass a hillside, and within ten minutes you are cold anyway.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is one set instead of that. A hooded softshell jacket and matching tactical pants, both lined with fleece, so the warm layer and the wind layer are the same garment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHere's how it works.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA softshell is a system, not a fabric. The outer face is a tight technical weave that stops wind and sheds light rain and snow. Bonded to the inside of it is a fleece layer that holds the heat your body makes. Because the two are bonded rather than worn separately, there is no mid-layer riding up, no bunching at the shoulders and nothing to take off and carry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe pockets are the second half of the argument. A zipped chest pocket sits high enough to reach with a pack on. The pants carry slash hand pockets, flapped thigh cargo pockets and rear pockets, all positioned so a torch, a radio or a pair of gloves stays put when you crouch, kneel or climb. Loop panels on both sleeves take your own patches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe hood stows against the collar when you do not want it, and pulls up with a drawcord when the wind turns. The pants are cut with articulated knees, so kneeling and climbing do not drag the fabric tight across the front of your leg.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStraight about the weather:\u003c\/strong\u003e this is a softshell, not a hardshell. It is wind-resistant and it handles light rain and snow. In sustained heavy rain you want a hard waterproof over the top. Anyone telling you a softshell is waterproof is selling you a return.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe gear it replaces:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eA separate fleece mid-layer\u003c\/strong\u003e — rides up under a shell and fills the pack once you take it off.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eA wind shell worn over everything\u003c\/strong\u003e — stops the wind and adds no warmth at all.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTrousers bought in a different season\u003c\/strong\u003e — nearly the right colour, never quite the right cut.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's in it:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFleece-lined softshell jacket\u003c\/strong\u003e — wind-resistant face, fleece bonded inside, hooded.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMatching fleece-lined tactical pants\u003c\/strong\u003e — same construction on the lower half.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStowable drawcord hood\u003c\/strong\u003e — up when the weather turns, flat against the collar when it does not.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eZip chest pocket\u003c\/strong\u003e — high enough to reach with a pack on.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlapped thigh cargo pockets\u003c\/strong\u003e — kit stays in through a crouch.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLoop sleeve panels\u003c\/strong\u003e — for your own patches.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArticulated knees\u003c\/strong\u003e — full stride and full kneel without binding.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFive colourways\u003c\/strong\u003e — Black, Army Green, Gray, Navy Blue and Khaki.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduct type: Men's tactical softshell jacket and pants set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConstruction: Softshell outer with bonded fleece lining, both pieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeather: Wind-resistant, handles light rain and snow.
