COMB BLIZZARD Arktis B310 Waterproof Combat Smock ~ Winter Camouflage

store.arktis.co.uk/
The B310 is a fully waterproof combat smock used by Special Forces & tough military units around the world. We originally designed the B310 for the SAS in the late 80's. There have been a few tweaks over the years, however the fundamentals for a simple and reliable jacket have remained the same. The B310 is one of the greatest garments of the entire industry, many thousands of which have been sold across the world, often imitated but never bettered.
The fundamentals of the Arktis principle are rooted in achieving efficiency and durability by a simple and 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 might occur during wear and tear mean that the garment will probably remain waterproof/breathable despite damage to the outer shell.
That 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 beyond expectation. The weave is far quieter than most nylon outers and the 50/50 blend presents a low melt hazard. Over the years, we’ve hardly had a single return. The B310 has faithful adherents from Sweden to Australia - it works well in all climates.

I hate plastic based clothing, but i LOVE the characteristics of specialized clothing for tactical purposes such as these jackets. Need me one of those

Check out my playlist on Arktis smocks. I cover a few variants. Solid kit!

[@maltaconvoy]

Finally this excellent but little-known and underrated snow camo pattern getting some love! Excellent presentation. ✊🏻

[@NorthwestScout]

Thank you brother! Really appreciate your contribution to the channel! I know many others will send their thanks as well! Absolutely solid pattern, even with our little snow fall at the moment.

[@ericferguson9989]

Awesome and thanks!

[@bleedgreen263]

Thanks for the review!

[@NorthwestScout]

Thanks for being here my friend!

[@patrickoneill6821]

I've got one of those in Black, French camo is on the way lol, Kommando Store has a great deal on Arktis stuff. Got their security services shoulder holster/LBE that goes under smocks, really well made!

[@NorthwestScout]

Kommando is selling out the Arktis line that Crye Precision complained about, their OptiView. Because it was too similar to Crye’s Multicam. Awesome to hear you got kit, sweet!

[@journeyman7189]

Nice bit of kit. Not sure if the waterproofness of the garment would be a detriment in the cooler conditions that a full snow camo suit would be needed. Nate

[@NorthwestScout]

It’s going to get the full test this winter. If it functions like Gortex it will be a win win for sure.

[@froginthewaves8450]

Very Cool

[@NorthwestScout]

Thanks! Looking forward to getting it out there…more snow please!

С виду хороший плотный материал

[@NorthwestScout]

Pretty well made. Should stand up to good winter use for a while.

[@subdawg1331]

awesmoe smock is it an outer only?

[@NorthwestScout]

Yes a durable outer shell with an inner ventilated liner. With some under layers, you’ll have effective winter camouflage.

[@subdawg1331]

Cut and paste their description, The waterproof/breathable characteristic is achieved by a light-but-strong seam sealed inner dropliner.
