When you look through the peephole of your door and see a guy standing outside in this outfit, you should just give up. The man is wearing an Arc'teryx LEAF Assault Coverall AR Men's Black and he will not rest until he has completed his mission. And then he can take off the coverall he's wearing for the Direct Action Mission.
Overalls are practical, even though we know that there's always a objection. What if I have to go to the bathroom with this thing on? Then it's time to take off the gear and take your time, deceleration of everyday life is the motto. Otherwise: a uniform piece of clothing where you don't have to worry about whether the top and bottom match. There is the coverall - a nice play on words, Arc'teryx LEAF - in two versions. AR is made of regular RipStop fabric, FR is flame resistant.
The back view of the coverall: keep it simple. The little black dress for emergency forces so to speak. Even though it's quite big...
Let's go into detail: a high collar at the top, closed with velcro. Prevents the rifle sling from rubbing against your neck or hot shell casings from getting into the coverall.
Two pockets on the chest. They have a slit at the top for quick access to a pen.
Inside, loops that keep writing utensils together. If the man at the door reaches for them, move quickly. A fine will be imposed.
Two velcro areas on the upper arms. No one leaves home without patches anymore.
And behind them are the upper arm pockets. At the top of the goat finger you can see an opening in the fabric, that's where the zipper pull can be stored. Of course, this prevents quick access to the upper arm pocket. So, nice idea, but we don't need it.
The sleeves can be adjusted tighter with velcro.
And under the arms there is mesh, so that the man can sweat better during the operation.
The waist is marked by belt loops. These are suitable for the 150 Riggers Belt or the E 220 Riggers Harness by Arc'teryx LEAF.
The coverall is rather tight-fitting and hugs the body. If you like it airy: go one size up. If you want more mobility, go for the Long Version. There are also two velcro straps at the hips, which can be tightened.
Two large pockets on the front thighs. Everything inside is easily accessible. The pockets are not divided further. The velcro looks like two eye slits looking angry.
Arc'teryx LEAF has a very practical solution for the knees. The thick straps protect the pants. Soft pads can be inserted behind the knees and elbows. They come with the coverall.
