Helikon-Tex Recon Smock Jacket

Recon Smock is a jacket designed to carry an extensive loadout during reconnaissance operations.

A classic smock for modern reconnaissance and sniper operations

The Recon Smock is a jacket based on the classic design of a military smock. Helikon-Tex designed it for users who, during reconnaissance or sniper operations, need to carry extensive front-line gear but don’t want to carry a belt-mounted kit.

 

Duracanvas Heavy – densely woven fabric for field operations

Helikon-Tex made this jacket from Duracanvas Heavy. It’s a densely woven fabric with a reinforced structure and enhanced wind resistance. It protects during extended periods in open terrain. It withstands heavy use, even when carrying gear.  You can waterproof Duracanvas Heavy with wax.

 

An extensive first-line loadout without a battle belt

Pockets on the front, sides, shoulders, and back let you organize your gear in different sections of the jacket. You can carry some of the gear you usually wear on a belt in these pockets. This reduces the need to add additional pouches. Your gear remains close to your body and is less concentrated in one spot.

 

This solution works well during extended field operations, when changing positions, while on observation duty, and when marching with a backpack and additional gear.

 

Ventilation during movement and intensive activity

Large underarm ventilation zippers let you increase airflow without unbuttoning the jacket. The main closure combines a zipper with additional snap buttons.

 

On warmer days, you can unzip the main zipper and fasten the front with just the snap buttons. The jacket still covers your torso but allows for better airflow at the front.

 

Eleven pockets designed for different types of equipment

In the key pockets, you’ll find loops to which you can attach small items using a cord. These will help keep them from getting lost during intense activities.

 

Spacious main pockets

Four large pockets with storm flaps and Canadian-style buttons for carrying larger pieces of equipment.

 

Additional chest pockets

Two flat zippered chest pockets provide quick access to maps, a notebook, compass, documents and other small items.

 

Sleeve pockets

Expandable sleeve pockets allow additional equipment to be distributed away from the central area of the torso.

 

Side pockets

Two side pockets at waist level can hold a canteen, a radio, or a first-aid kit. The jacket also has a compartment for warming your hands.

 

The poacher’s pocket can hold a poncho or an extra layer

The large pocket on the back of the jacket can hold a poncho, a lightweight insulated jacket, or other soft gear. Zippers on both sides allow you to reach into it with either your right or left hand without taking off the jacket. A mesh layer on the back promotes airflow.

 

The Recon Smock is equipped with practical features designed for field use.

Ergonomic hood

The spacious hood features three-point adjustment, allowing it to be adapted to the wearer, movement and weather conditions.

Multiple adjustment points

Adjustments at the waist and hem help stabilize the jacket, reduce wind penetration and adapt the fit to the layers worn underneath.

Adjustable sleeves

Hook-and-loop cuffs allow the sleeve width to be adjusted and fitted around gloves.

 

Hook-and-loop panels on the sleeves allow the jacket to be personalized with patches
