The M-Tac Alpha microfleece gen.II winter fleece jacket is a tactical jacket made of thick fleece (polyester), a synthetic fabric that is popular among the military due to its practicality. If the jacket gets wet, the fleece dries quickly, does not weigh much, has good thermal insulation properties, wicks away sweat and is quite durable.
Often this product is used as an insulating lining for a wind and waterproof jacket, parka, etc. In more favorable weather conditions, it is sometimes used as the main outerwear. The density of the fleece of this model is 420 g/m, which corresponds to the NATO soldier’s equipment systems. The jacket of this brand has 4 pockets: two on the sides, one on the arm and one on the chest. The fittings are high-quality zips from the well-known YKK company. A zipper pull makes opening/closing pockets convenient, even if the soldier is wearing gloves. The areas where clothing is usually subjected to increased stress (elbows, shoulders, upper back, collar) are covered with additional padding for a longer service life. This is especially important for the military in the field conditions when things wear out very quickly due to active movement. Both sleeves have 9x14cm velcro panels on them, which can be used to attach patches or armbands. There are also velcro flaps on the cuffs of both sleeves to adjust the insulation density. The lining of the jacket is made of polyester mesh, which provides additional ventilation and allows the body to breathe. The lower part of the jacket has a density adjustment in the waistband.
The jacket is available in a fairly large number of “tactical” colors. Most of them are very popular among the military. They include:
