B310 Waterproof Combat Smock

The B310 is a fully waterproof combat smock used by Special Forces and tough military units around the world. Originally designed for the SAS in the late '80s, there have been a few tweaks over the years, but the fundamentals of a simple and reliable jacket have remained the same. The B310 is one of the greatest garments in the entire industry, many thousands sold across the world, often imitated but never bettered.

The fundamentals of the Arktis principle are rooted in achieving efficiency and durability through a simple, practical approach. Special heavy-duty nylon thread, powerful bartacks, easy adjusters and generous sizing are all standard features.

The waterproof/breathable characteristic is achieved by a light-but-strong seam-sealed inner dropliner. By having the critical performance fabric shielded by the outer shell, any nicks or tears that occur during wear and tear mean the garment will probably remain waterproof/breathable despite damage to the outer shell.

The outer fabric is a 50% cotton, 50% polyester tight-weave Ripstop with a DWR finish, proven over many years to be effective, enduring and dependable. The weave is far quieter than most nylon outers and the 50/50 blend presents a low melt hazard. The B310 has faithful adherents from Sweden to Australia, it works well in all climates.
