Description
This is a rain coat that was used in the Belgian Military in the very nifty Jigsaw camo. The waterproof coat zips up and has a storm flap for added protection. The hood is adjustable, along with the sleeve cuffs and waist. There are waist pockets that fit chocolate bars very nicely as well. Overall this is a simple rain coat that is lightweight and great for outdoor wear. The label specifically says to wash no more then THREE times, please read through the translation of the label below. Coats are measured pit to pit for chest and pit to cuff for the sleeves.
If you want a legit translation of the tag, kindly enough done by a Belgian service member:
