POCKETS - The Wapiti XP has 2 generous, deep external "wet" pockets which have mesh eyelets at the base to allow any water collected water to easily drain away. These 2 external pockets also have bistable steal incorporated into the opening which allows the lightweight steal to pop out and open then pocket to its maximum for easy access when the pockets are full of gun cartridges or similar. The lightweight bistable steal is also removable from the Wapiti XP pockets too. Additional to these 2 external pockets are 2 integrated hand warming pockets near the chest and 1 internal chest pocket to store your map, phone or anything else you need close to hand.

There are 3 adjustable and lockable pull cords built into the hood to allow you to change the size and fit of the hood without impacting your peripheral vision.
What is AEGIS®?
AEGIS®knit fabric is an innovative new fabric made up of three technical membrane layers to make The Wapiti XP 100% windproof, waterproof, breathable, lightweight and very durable. Much like Gore-Tex, AEGIS® provides absolute protection from rain, snow and wind, but most importantly offers enhanced breathability for the wearer, and is exceptionally soft and quiet i.e., the coat makes no rustling noises when moving with the wearer.
AEGIS® is made from a Polyester brushed tricot knit, with an eco-friendly 80/20 DWR (80% water-free in spray tests after 20 washes).
Its water proof rating is 20,000mm. The minimum standard for a jacket to be waterproof is 1,500mm so a jacket with a waterproof rating of 2,000mm would be suitable for moderate rain.
Its breathability rating is 10,000g/m2 24hr. Breathability, in a few words, refers to how well (or poorly) a fabric allows your sweat (or, in technical parlance “moisture vapor”) and body heat to pass through it from inside to out. 10,000g/m2 24hr is the ideal measure for more active use in high-output activities, including shooting, hiking, farming, hunting and mountaineering.
