Japanese tactical shop Sukeru has introduced the Tactical Alone Hood. Basically, it’s a stand-alone hood made from NYCO, or similar fabric, which can be worn in conjunction with load bearing equipment such as hanrnesses, armor or backpacks. Conceptually, the idea has merit and is one-step removed from items like Crye Precision’s HalfJak. However, the Tactical Alone Hood doesn’t feature sleeves, nor is it insulated. Perhaps a new material is in order. I’d also like to see the inventor go for some lower profile buckles, and maybe introduce elastic webbing.

Now I can look extra-broody & detached!
Add side stash pocket for attached lower face mask to cover nose/mouth for extra ninja points.
What’s it used for?
Airsoft
I can …maybe… see it for plainclothes LE or Narcs who go along on warrants who may want some level of concealment from future recognition… but a balaclava is easier.
Realistically, this is basically weeb/anime stuff.
Pretty sure Plainclothes guys will just wear hoodies in lieu of tactical hoods.
In the past, SASS made a fur hood to put under the smock.
My ATL wonders if we can use this item but make ballistic and use it crashing doors. Maybe cut to eye holes and wear it backwards for face pro. THat way we can pie off the room and stick are face in without getting it blown off!
Stop trolling.
It was a funny troll though. Wear it backwards with eyeholes! Hahaha!
Hey bro, we saw huge benefit in having a soft armor hoody for breech ops. We don’t have funds for shields but this would be cheaper and we could test it when we train again in April time. It would give are team one up on perps and we could peek into rooms.
Nothing you said there makes any sense. Breech ops? Perps? Still sounds like a troll…a 12 year old troll.
Bro, we crash doors in training pretty hard. My TL usually enters first with are long gun. Sometimes we mix it up and stack up on the next door in a different order but that’s not how my TL and ATL learned CQB ops. A lot of hard lessons learned from Saudi in ’91.
Would you wear your eye-pro on the outside or inside of this? Can you ask your TL?
Hey bro, whats the best ballistic goggles? We don’t get funding so we have to by out of our salary. My ATL has a set of Gators and they look sick! He has prescription so hey only rocks those when we do ops at training.
Whatever you choose for eye pro I would recommend a dark or smoke lense. Last thing you want is a target recognizing you in the deli or on the streets. Kinda makes it hard to see in low light, but a quality light mounted to your helmet fixes that.
Bro we wear ski masks for low vis ops. Nobody needs to get hemmed up bye some perp at Dennys after we crash there doors! My TL has been an operator fro 30 years and nobodies ever recognized him.
Assassin’s Creed meets Tacti-cool
Guys! you can also get an AR-15 Holster! All of the Molons will be Labed!!!
For what purpose? I mean, you can just wear clothes with hood. Maybe if they make it with insulated material and some furs then I would say it has purposes, otherwise I don’t see any market value.
I remember seeing a similar type of hood in a USAF T.O for the CWU-45P PFE jacket (Bomber jacket).

Add some lashing points and make it a ghillie hood. Other than that, this is dumb.
