These smocks will NOT feature the wire hood. The wire was removed by British soldiers to make their smocks more "ally" (British-speak for high-speed and cool).
This British Army-issue windproof smock features the rare OPFOR Blue DPM camouflage pattern, originally issued to troops acting as opposing forces during training exercises. Constructed from a durable and breathable cotton/polyester fabric blend, the smock provides effective protection against wind and harsh weather.
Practical features include a hood, multiple large cargo pockets for storage, reinforced elbow patches for durability, adjustable cuffs, and a drawcord waist and hem for improved fit. This smock combines reliable performance with distinctive, military-grade construction.
OPFOR DPM History
