Under Armour Tactical Gale Force Jacket
Another product I have been fortunate enough to test from the good people at http://ift.tt/1nm4B7S is this fantastic Tactical Gale Force jacket from Under Armour.
Offered in a full loose fit, it not only offered a great range of movement but also allowed for good layering underneath.
Made from their 3 layer fabric it has a good DWR coating and is also windproof.
Under armour’s moisture transport system works very well and does a good job of wicking sweat and moisture away.
One feature I loved about this jacket was the ripstop fabric in the high wear areas such as the cuffs and shoulders. Fitted with 2 hand warmer pockets, 2 document chest pockets and a bicep pocket there is a great amount of storage. There is also a good area of hook and loop on the sleeve for all your patches. Another handy feature was the interior media ports for earphones or comms cables.
Its simplistic design means that this Jacket is easily suited for wear around the town as well as out on the hills. The high cut neck means there is good wind protection and helps eliminate water down the inside if you are caught short in the rain.
Another great point to note is that this garment washes really well, something that can sometimes allow some gear to fall short on. It is also remarkably fast drying.
All in all, this is a great affordable jacket that works great as a standalone item, or used as part of your layering system.
I have said in the past that originally I was not a big fan of Under Armour gear, but after trying some of their products, I couldn’t recommend them highly enough.
A big thank you to those at Top of the Range for making this review possible.Stay safe,
