The tactical jacket is a popular choice for outdoor activities.

Demi-season tactical jackets are an ideal find for lovers of outdoor activities. They came into fashion thanks to the punk movement, although they were not particularly popular in the first years after their appearance.

Now tactical jackets are very often bought by hunters, campers, fishermen, tourists and other connoisseurs of outdoor activities and sports. Unremarkable and practical jackets of this type are bought for expeditions, hiking trips and even participation in military operations.

Tactical jackets are definitely suitable for people who value functionality above all else in clothing. They are suitable for outdoor sports, participation in wrestling and life in extreme situations.

Tactical jackets are made from lightweight, but at the same time quite dense softshell. This material is famous, first of all, for the fact that it protects well from wind and precipitation. Water-repellent this material makes additional impregnation. Regular laundering can wear out the product and cause the jacket to lose its water-repellent properties. But you can restore them just by using a special spray, which is sold in sports and outdoor equipment stores.

From the inside, the jacket is covered with a windproof strip, which is an additional plus. The same strap is also brought out, covering part of the collar. This protects the chin and neck from chafing as the lining itself is very soft.

As already mentioned, the material from which the jacket is made is impregnated with a special water-repellent compound. Due to this, getting caught in the rain in such a jacket, you will not get wet. But still, it’s not worth wandering in it under a downpour, because water-repellent impregnation will not save you from heavy rainfall.

The material used in the tailoring of a tactical jacket must certainly "breathe". Ventilated fabric keeps you comfortable in any weather. In summer, in such a jacket, you will not sweat, and in winter, it will protect you from frost, keeping enough warmth inside.

Another important point is the strength of the jacket and its wear resistance. A quality tactical jacket will serve you for more than one season. Strong seams, good fittings and dense fabric will remain the same even after several trips to the countryside.

A tactical jacket is very convenient to take with you on a hike. When folded, it does not take up much space and fits easily into any backpack. Jackets of this type are usually equipped with a hood, but if it bothers you, you can always put it in the collar. The sleeves of the jacket are fixed with special Velcro, so that nothing will interfere with you and hinder your movements.

Among the many jackets presented on American and Chinese sites, it is worth highlighting a few that are of really good quality and pleasant appearance.

The jacket from 5.11 Tactical deserves the attention of the military and hunters. The 5 in 1 model is what all competitors should be guided by. Convenient pockets with inconspicuous zippers are located not only outside, but also inside the product.

You should also pay attention to the jacket from Arc'teryx Combat. It is highly durable and provides reliable protection against moisture. The jacket is complemented by a large number of pockets with Velcro.

Professional hunters, military and fishermen will suit the jacket from Vertx. These tactical jackets are made from durable nylon. A discreet pattern and durable fabric set this jacket apart from the competition.

When buying a tactical jacket, it is important not to make a mistake with the choice of size. Especially if you buy clothes on a Chinese site. Chinese size charts are significantly different from what we are used to. Usually the difference is 1-2 sizes in favor of larger Europeans. In order not to be mistaken, and not to get a jacket that only a Russian teenager will fit into, check with the indicated parameters.

Now that you know everything about tactical jackets and how to buy them, it's time to get inspired to get one for yourself!
