Is the Transporter vel Stadium a High Loft Jacket 1.0? Does any one know new names of the other WTT gear?
This looks like the one I was recently given along with the matching pants. It doesn’t say its the stadium but it looks like the one pictured. All I can say is that it better be REALLY cold when you wear this thing as it will make you look like Kenny/Stay fresh marshmallow man incarnate and it is warm as hell. It also tends to run big, not sure if its intentional or not but don’t hesitate to order one size down if you fall on the boarder between sizes. I am assuming this is just specific to my jacket but thought I’d mention it. The zipper pull is a pain in the ass to get undone when unzipping and taking the jacket off. I have to giggle it around and it has to line up just right in order for the zipper to come completely apart. Probably just my jacket but others may experience it as well.
This is designed for the helo ride in, it should stay with the bird or vehicle. Not for movement to contact in dismounted operations. Don’t size it down, wear it over all of your gear. Feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns.
