Today, Beyond launched their new A7 Fereday Jacket at Virtual Warfighter. Designed to work with armor systems, it is manufactured from a DWR coated nylon ripstop shell over Climashield APEX Insulation. The bolo-style jacket is cut high in the front to allow access to chest mounted kit, with a long back to cover equipment at the rear and keep the back protected from the elements. The drawstring is accessible at the chest on either side to tighten the hem of the jacket around an armor carrier.
There is also an integrated hood as well as a 2-Way center front zipper. You’ll also find adjustable wrists, a rank loop chest patch along with bicep ID patches and Cordura reinforced elbows and a mapped Cordura liner for reinforcement. Finally, the whole thing can be stuffed into an internal chest pocket.
Sizes Small – XXLarge in MultiCam.

It’s a hood with sleeves, it’s not a jacket!
More like a cross between bolero jacket, anorak (or parka) and swallow-tailed coat. So it is a jacket, but a bit short in the front. Funny, that armour carriers come with cummerbunds. Like old fashioned tail-coats. 😀
It’s kind of half a jacket……hey wait…..
