Blackhawk recently expanded the warrior wear line which includes this snazzy 3 layer jacket system. Each layer is designed to be used on its own or used in any combination with the other layers. As you might guessed, layer 1 gives the lightest element protection and layer 3 gives the most. The materials and constuction used are quite modern resulting in a functional and styln' system. Each layer is sized appropriately for layering so one doesn't need to worry about different sizes. I have a full 3 layer set of smalls and I was pleased how well they fit on top of each other. This is accomplished with layer 1 being semi-fitted, layer 2 casual, and layer 3 baggy. Layer 1 - The Training Jacket Layer 2 - The Ops Jacket Layer 3 - The Element Shell Layer 1 works well for the cool environment work-out jacket. The material has some stretch in it for good range of motion and is overall super light. For how thin it is, it has surprising water and wind resistance. I poured some water on it as a test and all I managed to do was watch it bead up and slide off getting the normal shirt I was wearing wet. The collar area and inner sleeve ends are bonus comfy made with micro-fleece brushed tricot lining. In the spirit of a training jacket the zipper is a cool YKK version called semi auto locking. Basically it is spring loaded so it is always up or down. It is easy to manually toggle, but when running around it stays in place so it isn't clanging around. Shock cord and barrel locks are built into the waist area to cinch things up and later adjust when desired. There is only one small pocket on the left shoulder, which is in the spirit of the jacket design, good for pens or an ipod sized device. A hole is in the interior of this pocket so one can route their headphones internally to keep wires more secure than flopping around directly from pocket to ear. On the note of pockets, I would liked to have standard lower side pockets on this jacket. They shouldn't cause too much bulk and would be a nice place to keep one's hands warm when idle times occur. A good sized loop is under the tag for hanging of the jacket. The training jacket works great for adding a layer of warmth when used with the other layers. Kinda pricey for being such a lightweight jacket, but that appears to be the price of fancy materials. End result, layer 1 accomplishes its design goal being a jacket that adds wind protection and a little warmth, but is lightweight and flexible enough to not be in the way when excercising.
