These are very similar to the standard, old issue, rainsuit parkas but being from ORC Industries have small differences and improvements. The water proof jacket is worn over the duty uniform for cold weather layers and full zipper closure on the front. The hood is adjustable and can be stowed as a collar with hook and loop tabs.

Michael Sessler –
Highly recommend this parka and the matching pants. Me and the boys were out doing some training over the weekend and the weather was…wet. It had rained nearly an 1 1/2 inches overnight and was back and forth between a light mist and heavy drizzle while we ran react to contact drills in a soaking wet hay field for 3 hours. This was a great test of the gear as the first reaction to contact was drop to prone.
Even after swimming around in the that hay field for a couple hours, I was completely dry. The knees, which I was sure would soak through after slamming them into the wet mud countless times were also completely dry. They were comfortable and breathed well enough that I wasn’t sweaty (it was about 55 degrees). I hung them up to dry then brushed off the dried on dirt (which wasn’t much) and they look like new.
Really couldn’t be happier with this gear.
