Anyone who has to be outside in rain and similarly unpleasant weather wants a good rain gear. A requirement for the clothing is, of course, that it does not hinder you in conjunction with the plate carrier and helmet. From DIRECT ACTION, suitable for the autumn weather, comes their rainwear. The exquisite gear is called VANGUARD OVER SHELL and there is a jacket and pants.

The VANGUARD Jacket is designed to be put on over the plate carrier in no time. This makes it extremely easy to put on during rain.

Additionally, the hood is cut so that a fully equipped operational helmet fits comfortably underneath.

The VANGUARD pants are of course also worn as the outermost clothing piece. Thanks to long zippers on the legs, the pants can be quickly put on.

The material used here is a 3-layer membrane with a water column of 25,000 mm and breathability of 15,000 g/m²/24 h. The whole thing is also very lightweight. The VANGUARD Jacket weighs 670 g. Thus, a rain protection set can always be taken along, as it is hardly noticeable in weight.
