Featuring a 100% cotton flannel lining offering 40g of insulation and Quixip patented technology for two-way zipping that extends through the sleeve to allow for underarm venting, the Taclite Anorak easily transitions from cool climates to hot conditions while maintaining comfort. Added durability comes from a Teflon finish for stain and soil resistance. Functionality is found in the jacket's kangaroo-style pockets that feature 5.11's Rapiddraw pass-through access to a concealed firearm. Retails for $149.99, available in Stone, Brown, and Tundra.
