The Woolrich Elite Series Vest is both a functional tool and a good looking addition to your wardrobe. It is constructed of two layers of garment washed 100% cotton for that broken in feeling and dyed to ensure fade resistance. To further enhance durability, the fabric is treated with DuPont Teflon® fabric protector offering a breathable, durable barrier that repels both water and oil based spills. Even wet, you have an Ultraviolet Protection Factor of 30 due to a built in protective treatment.
On the vest front, four hook-and-loop closing flaps open to reveal five pockets capable of carrying a variety of gear. Elastic webbing in one of the pockets helps to secure smaller items like magazines or a flashlight and four zippered pockets keep valuable gear secure. The vest not only features two hand warmer pockets to hold keys, coins or other frequently accessed items but vertical strategically positioned “Napoleon” pockets, will accommodate articles ranging from glasses or a wallet to a small frame revolver or auto.
Four more pockets can be found on the inside of the vest including two easily accessible, large front pockets and two side pockets that can accommodate a radio or like item with specially designed elastic loops by the shoulders to keep wires in place.
A large hook-and-loop closing pocket can be found in the middle of the back along with two elastic topped pockets on either side. The vented back design provides superior air flow through the garment and side tabs provide adjustment for a custom fit. The front zips open and closed with a two-way zipper, backed up by a quick-release center front tab with hook-and-loop fastener to allow for securing the front of the vest while facilitating quick access to essential gear under the vest. The tab can also be folded in to prevent accidental closure of the vest. There is also a front hook-and-loop chest tab, perfect for securing Identification Badges or sunglasses. To top it off, a padded collar adds to the overall comfort of the vest.
