Dating & Historical Context
- Dating: This technical combat jacket dates to March 2014. The crisp internal specification label documents a production origin stamp of "03/14" beneath Contract Reference Number DC2A/2001 and Registered Camouflage Design Pattern Number RCD001627035-0001, firmly situating its issue during the mid-2010s modernisation sprint for British Frontline forces.
- Historical Note: Introduced to replace the classic Desert DPM camouflage profile following intensive operations in Afghanistan (Operation Herrick), Multi-Terrain Pattern (MTP) was engineered in cross-development with Crye Precision's Multicam technology. This lightweight MVP (Moisture Vapour Permeable) jacket represented a major technological leap for the British Infantryman. Stripping away heavy internal textile drop-liners to lower system bulk, the MoD bonded a hard-wearing nylon shell directly onto a high-performance polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) membrane. This created an ultra-packable, windproof, and torrential rainproof barrier that forces could roll directly into a tactical daypack, ensuring elite thermal tracking and breathability across mixed jungle, arid plain, and European woodland environments.
Description
An absolute masterclass in tactical outerwear engineering, this genuine British Army issue lightweight waterproof jacket is built to conquer the harshest outdoor conditions. Finished in the standard-issue Multi-Terrain Pattern (MTP) camouflage profile, the jacket combines premium utilitarian durability with advanced climate-control technology, keeping you dry without trapping body humidity during strenuous activities.
The garment layout features a clever high-rise storm collar faced internally with soft, thermal microfleece to stop water funneling down the neck while preventing chin chafe. Dual deep-set tactical sleeve pockets offer angled hook-and-loop flap access for secure navigation gear storage, while heavy-duty water-sealed pit zips permit quick temperature dumps on steep marches. A clean central zip frontage covered by an integrated storm flap secures the core torso area, keeping the wind entirely at bay.
Expert Identification & Design Features:
- Official Broad Arrow Pedigree: Features the traditional official Ministry of Defence broad arrow military asset mark printed directly onto the durable canvas size label.
- PTFE Membrane Integration: Utilises genuine military-grade MVP breathable waterproofing chemistry, letting interior sweat escape while sealing out heavy external rain.
- Tactical Layout Design: Clean chest architecture avoids front pockets to sit completely flat and friction-free under heavy weight-bearing webbing systems, tactical vests, or hiking backpacks.
- Robust Fit Controls: Fitted with heavy-duty hook-and-loop adjustable cuff tabs and a dual-channel shock-cord lower hem to trap core body warmth instantly.
Condition Report
This genuine military surplus jacket is in superb issued condition, displaying excellent structural preservation and remaining clean and ready for immediate outdoor deploy. The Multi-Terrain Pattern camouflage print remains crisp, showing no evidence of heavy field staining, abrasion thinning, or campfire scorch markings. The internal PTFE membrane lining is uniformly sound, without widespread flaking, crumbling, or seam tape separation across the high-friction shoulder tracks. All mechanical fasteners—including the heavy-duty central nylon zipper, the pit-vent zippers, and the hook-and-loop pocket closures—engage smoothly and securely. The original technical label is completely legible with crisp texturing.
