哈哈哈哈~~~~~
这件Crye MulteCam战地风衣,终于买到了!
从9月初就对这件风衣垂涎三尺,就在网上买.
买了一次又一次,总是失败.
总是没有货,或者没有我要的尺码.
10月初有个卖家倒是发货了,可是不久就发现那是个骗子,发的是别的东西.
退款,折腾了很久.
再买,还是失败.
几乎买遍了TAOBAO所有卖这件衣服的,终于买到了,等,等着它来.

在网上找到个网站,应该是专门生产经销军品的,不过国内能买到的,只是仿制品.
去看看还是很过瘾的,这件风衣就是在这里找到的.

Dropzone Tactical Recce Smock

Hailing from the Great White North in Oiler country is Drop Zone Tactical in Edmonton, Canada. Drop Zone manufactures and deals in all kinds of military gear and equipment, including load bearing gear, cases, bags, packs and clothing, to name a few. If you’re looking for CADPAT stuff, check there first, as they’re one of only a few manufacturers licensed to make items in CADPAT.
One of the clothing items DZ makes is the Recce Smock. Forgive the expression, but what can I say – it’s a gorgeous garment. Combat smocks have been around a while (at least since WWII) as a lightweight, multi-functional item of clothing usually worn over the uniform that provides additional protection against the elements, camouflage, and load bearing capability. Combat smocks continue to be quite popular amongst many of the European forces (especially the British), but for some reason, aren’t that common amongst U.S. forces. The old M1965 field jacket is probably the last thing that came close to a U.S. smock (or the Desert Storm Night Desert parka), but that was bulky and didn’t have any ventilation.
I’ve always liked the British SAS windproof smocks in the lightweight gabardine material, but Drop Zone has taken the old concept of the combat smock, improved on it with modern features, and brought into the present with the Recce Smock.

The Recce Smock is sized generously – meant to be worn over other clothing as a shell. I usually wear a medium BDU top, and the small Recce smock still leaves enough room for an insulating layer underneath. DZ makes their smocks in a variety of patterns and colours (shown here in Crye MultiCam), most using cotton-synthetic blend fabrics which provide breathability and can be treated to be somewhat water repellent. It won’t keep you dry in a downpour, but then it wasn’t designed to be rain wear.
The smock comes down to mid-thigh at the bottom, with a paracord drawstring. A shock cord drawstring with cord locks provides adjustment around the waist. A beefy two-way #10 YKK zipper secures the front of the smock. The zipper is covered by a velcro tab-secured storm flap with a button-up rank tab at center chest. The sleeve cuffs have velcro tab adjustments. The sleeves have a double layer of material starting from just above the elbow down to the wrist, forming a pocket that opens at the top with velcro to accomodate foam padding for extra protection.

The Recce smock hood is well-designed and simple to adjust. It’s roomy enough to fit over a helmet, and a velcro strap adjustment is used to shorten it when used without one. The adjustment strap is sewn to the back of the hood, and goes through a looploc at the base of the neck. The height of the hood is varied by adjusting the length of the strap. The hood opening is adjusted by a shock cord drawstring, by pulling on the ends on either side through the sewn-down cord locks. Tightening the hood can be done one-handed. I didn’t illustrate it here, but the brim at the front of the hood can be folded back to form a channel, which keeps rain water from dripping off the front of the hood, diverting it to the sides instead. When not in use, the hood can be rolled down, where a tab originating from the inside base of the neck goes over it and buttons down in the back, securing the hood.

I’ve mentioned how much I value pit zips, and the Recce Smock includes them of course. They’re essential for ventilation and greatly increase the range of temperatures that a garment can be worn in. The Recce Smock’s pit zips open up from the waist to past the armpits. The pit zip pulls are a bit small if you’re wearing gloves, but it’s a simple matter to tie on short 550 cord pulls if desired. If additional ventilation is needed, a 6" front opening access zipper is located beside the main zipper, behind the storm flap. It also allows some access to chest pockets on garments worn under the smock.

The large, bellows cargo pockets on each side of the chest are covered by flaps, with tape-style Canadian military buttons. A plastic D-ring is located at the top inside of each pocket, for dummy cording items inside. Behind each of the chest cargo pockets is an additional pocket with vertical zipper closure, accessed from the middle of the chest. Inside each pocket is a pen pocket, angled for easier access. A 6"x1" velcro strip for name tape is sewn above the right chest pocket.
The lower cargo pockets even roomier, and share the same flap closure and taped military buttons as the chest pockets. Dummy cord D-rings are also found in the lower cargo pockets. Hidden behind each lower pocket is a handwarmer pocket with zipper closure on the side. Paying close attention to details, each pocket zipper has plastic pull toggles for use with gloves, and water drainage holes sewn at the bottoms.
Arm pockets have become more common with the increase in usage of load bearing vests, body armour, chest rigs etc that limit access to the pockets on the body. Instead of the small dressing pocket found on the sleeve of the old SAS smocks, the Recce Smock has pockets large enough to be useful on each arm with a vertical zipper opening. A 6"x2" rectangle of velcro is sewn to the outside of each arm pocket for putting patches or IR tabs.

To better illustrate the internal features of the smock, I wore it inside out, as shown below. There are two large map pockets on each side of the chest with horizontal zip openings. These are accessed most easily by partially unzipping the top of the smock – it’s a bit awkward to use the front ventilation opening. You can also see the waist shock cord and cord locks in the photos below. Following the ancestry of the poacher’s pockets at the rear of the SAS smocks, DZ placed 3 deep, divided pockets in the rear, each with its own velcro closure. In general, they’re used to store soft items.

Obviously, when you wear a rig over any garment, it will limit access to most of the torso or chest pockets, less so with a suspender/harness style LBE. I found that I was still able to access the lower cargo pockets while wearing a chest rig over the smock. If the smock is worn over a pistol belt with thigh holster or subload, they’ll be covered up – same as with any full length parka. I’ve suggested adding zippers on the side seams to allow a 6" split, offering greater mobility and less interference with equipment and access to trouser pockets, but that has yet to be tested. If no access to the trouser pockets and you don’t mind limiting access to the lower cargo pockets, the belt kit can simply be worn over the smock so that access to a holster or thigh rig isn’t affected. At the time of this writing, it’s been too hot to wear any kind of long sleeves during the day, so I’ll have to wait a few months to get the smock dirty. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the smock isn’t as hot or stuffy as I thought it would be, due to the breathable nature of the material and the ventilation provided by the pit zips. Kudos to Drop Zone Tactical for making a classic combat garment even better.

Went on a hike with the wife today, starting out at an elevation of 6000′, going up to 10,000′ and back down again. Even though this is the end of summer, it’s always windy up at the summit, and it was quite chilly today. I packed along the Recce Smock instead of a civvie windbreaker/jacket as it’s been too hot to wear it anywhere else and I was just itching to use it. I put it on before we got to the top when the wind started blowing hard. Worked wonderfully, and was comfortable to wear with the Kifaru Express I had. The pit zips really do help broaden the useful temperature range of this garment. Plus I think it looks dead sexy.
