Snugpak Tactical Softie Smock – UK-Made Insulated Tactical Jacket

The Snugpak Tactical Softie Smock is a UK-made insulated jacket built for military personnel, law enforcement officers, and outdoor professionals operating in cold conditions. Designed for warmth, mobility, and rapid access to belt equipment, this smock delivers dependable performance in demanding environments.

Lightweight, breathable, and highly packable, it offers reliable cold-weather protection without restricting movement.

Built for Operational Use

This smock is engineered with tactical efficiency in mind. Two-way YKK side vent zips allow fast access to holsters, belt kit, and lower clothing layers without removing the jacket. The vents can be opened from the top or bottom, providing adjustable airflow during high-intensity activity.

A 1/4 length YKK front zip makes it easy to regulate body temperature, while elasticated cuffs with thumb loops help secure layers in place. Adjustable drawcords at the neck and hem trap warm air and improve insulation in harsh weather.
