Jackets

Pockets are provided at the elbows, shoulders and back for fitting aftermarket impact protectors. The foam pads present in elbow and shoulder armour pockets were fillers and not tested as they were not considered impact protectors and would provide limited, if any, energy absorption. Adding elbow and shoulder impact protectors would improve the protection levels of this garment.

Mesh panels are located in the arms, chest and back to allow airflow movement through the garment.

This garment has a removable water-resistant liner. The breath-ability rating above was achieved with the thermal and water-resistant liners removed. When tested with the water-resistant liner installed, the breathability rating reduced but remained within half a star range.
