Super warm, windproof, and very durable winter jacket for mountains and nuclear winter. Oversized to fit over a plate carrier. Made in the USA by Beyond, a company known for high q uality and even higher prices. Small batch, unused, but a lot cheaper than originally, so act now before they’re gone! Insulated hood with cinch adjustments Front zipper Left internal zippered chest pocket Cordura-reinforced seat and elbows Zippered hand pockets Hook and loop wrist adjustments Large internal mesh pockets 2-way side zippers for pocket accessibility and easy layering over the kit Name, service & rank loop on chest Loop on the sleeves for patches Made in the USA These Cold Jackets were intended for US troops operating in very cold, mountainous regions and similar environments. The jacket is built with a tough DWR-coated nylon ripstop shell over Climashield® APEX Insulation. The APEX insulation keeps you warm, retains heat while wet, and dries much faster than natural down. The nylon ripstop shell repels rain and wind. The Cordura reinforcement in the seat and elbows provides protection against abrasion. The adjustable hood has a small cap, which is a nice surprise. Axios Layering System This jacket is part of Beyond’s earlier Axios layering system, where A7 is the Axios Layer 7, Static Insulation. The D at the end means Durable, which features a tougher, beefed-up outer-shell fabric and added reinforcements in high-wear areas, so the garment can withstand hard friction against rocky terrain or body armor without tearing. Later on, Beyond switched to an L-system, where this garment falls into the L7 slot, and is thus known as L7 Cold Jacket. Condition Unused American military surplus still in plastic wrapping. Before you turn on Caps Lock and type "why does surplus cost this much," note that this is unissued, and the current version costs over 700 bucks. So, it is a very expensive jacket made for the US military that has no shortage of money. Show more
