Does it not have pit zips? I would hate to be wearing something like this without the ability to dump heat when needed.
Level 3 doesn’t have pit zips.
This is Berry compliant. I dig mine. IDK why it seems like Beyond is discontinuing this….

Went to the AGR site…Typed in Patagonia and this level three was there, Is this the new version?
That’s awesome. My unit just tried to order the Patagonia jacket and they said they aren’t making them anymore.
It’s cool you guys are making this jacket. Patagonia doesn’t have them anymore. I like that the chest pockets have been moved out more, so you can get to stuff while wearing body armor. The zippers are a good improvement as well, cause the Patagonia ones used to catch on the fabric all the time. ARG tactical is stepping up the game, and making good, practical improvements. They listen when the coustmer asks for something.
Hell of a job boys! Thanks
I liked the old one they had. Cant wait to try out the new one.
Hate elastic cuffs. But it looks promising.
Other than multicam are there any upgrade over the Patagonia 3A? Or just filling a niche left by Patagonia in availability and colorway?
As far as the lack of pit zips, the Patagonia one I have breathes really well, never really felt the need for them .
Disregard the questions on upgrades, mentioned in article and on website. Took it as a straightforward copy.. Change in pocket location for access under plate carrier, more durable cuff design.
Thanks for the feedback guys. For now we are running Multicam. Coyote, OD green and black will be coming soon after that. If units needed another pattern, we can accommodate that as needed.
