StormStretch

StormStretch is a durable, lightweight softshell fabric with high abrasion resistance. It stretches in two directions, allowing the jacket to retain its shape and support natural body movement while walking or changing positions. The fabric effectively protects against wind and light rain, does not absorb moisture from the environment, and dries very quickly.

Hydrophobic coating

The outer layer is protected by a hydrophobic coating that increases resistance to dirt and moisture penetration. This makes the jacket easier to care for and helps it keep its original properties for a longer period of time. Trooper Mk2 works well as an outer layer over light insulation during movement with a backpack.

Ergonomic hood

An integrated, adjustable hood with a brim is stowed in the collar when not in use. It does not restrict movement and protects against wind and light precipitation.

Ventilation mesh

Placed inside the pockets and under the arms. Helps release excess heat during intense activity.

Cuff and hem adjustment

Hook-and-loop adjustable cuffs and a drawcord at the hem allow you to fine-tune the fit and maintain thermal comfort.

Extended back

The extended cut prevents the jacket from riding up, protects the lower back, and keeps the jacket in place while bending or working on the move.

Functional layout

We designed the Trooper Mk2 with simplicity and effectiveness in mind. We eliminated unnecessary pockets that increased weight and slowed drying time. What remains are four functional pockets that genuinely support your activity.

Chest pockets

Equipped with internal organizers to keep small EDC items in order and provide fast, secure access to a phone, keys, or wallet.

Shoulder pockets

Located on the upper arms, allowing you to carry small accessories and identification items.

Two-way YKK® zippers

Zippers opening from both top and bottom allow easy access and comfortable use of the jacket under a vest or load-bearing equipment.

Personalization panels

Hook-and-loop panels on the shoulders allow you to personalize the jacket with a flag, unit insignia, or morale patch.

Set compatibility

The Trooper Mk2 Jacket was designed to work naturally with Trooper Pants. Together, they form a lightweight, fast-drying set built for work on the move and resistance to changing conditions.
