Helikon CPU Ripstop Military Uniform Jacket, Olive Green

The CPU® (Combat Patrol Uniform ®) has got the Helikon mark on it, right down to its design. CPU combines features of existing cuts, such as BDU and ACU, creating an even better whole. The cut of the jacket is designed with an eye on a modern soldier’s equipment, with a combat vest for carrying, instead of the traditional combat belt. Only two of the jacket’s six pockets are located on the body area, while the rest are on the arms, easily accessible also when wearing a combat vest. The cut also allows for better mobility than the traditional BDU, and provides user comfort in the form of ventilation and a soft “Mandarin collar”. Specifically, in its price/quality ratio, the CPU is one of the best military uniforms for airsoft, outdoor activities, and why not also just for everyday use!

Features:

• The chest pockets have a Velcro flap and a diagonal opening for easy access. Special for the chest pockets is the zipper on the outer side, so the content can be accessed from the sides of a plate carrier!
• The upper sleeve pockets have an easy-to-use zipper closure and loops for a light stick or pen on the outside.
• Velcro for name tags and other patches has been added to the chest and the upper side pockets. The middle of the chest has a Velcro-sealable flap for a badge.
• The “Mandarin collar” is lined with comfortable soft fleece. It increases user comfort and prevents for example gun slings from rubbing the neck.
• The jacket is equipped with a two-way zipper and a Velcro flap which protects the zipper. Thanks to the two-way zipper, it is easy for the user to grab stuff from the equipment belt.
• ventilation holes with zippers have been added to the armpits, which are also easy to use with a combat vest.
• The cut of the back allows for reaching forward with a vest on, without the sleeves being dragged backwards. The spaciousness of the sleeves also allows for better mobility.
• Double fabric at the elbows, which also have Velcro pockets for pads.
• The mouths of the sleeves can be tightened with Velcro straps.

Material 60% cotton / 40% polyester mix, of course ripstop-reinforced. The zippers are YKK®-guaranteed quality.

Ripstop

Ripstop refers to a special treatment stage during which fabric-reinforcing threads (e.g. nylon) are sewn horizontally and vertically into the fabric forming a net of small squares, around 1 cm in size. This treatment stopping the fabric from ripping, which means that it extends the life span of the piece of clothing. The Ripstop treatment can be made to almost any fabric.

Information about Sizes

Helikon reports clothing sizes in centimeters and as letter sizes that correspond to them. The letter sizes are a bit bigger than average. We therefore recommend that you compare the centimeter measurements given by the manufacturer. The centimeter measurements are from the clothes themselves, so you can measure a similar piece of clothing you have and estimate a suitable size based on them. The measurements given by the manufacturer are not to be read as optimal sizes of the person.
