Very good jacket. It's lightweight, easy to pack, and yet keeps you warm. It's perfectly sufficient for Polish winters in recent years. At -10 degrees, if you wear something warm underneath, it provides comfort. Unfortunately, it doesn't protect against rain, but it works fine in light drizzle or snow. On the plus side, it breathes very well. I definitely recommend it!

Crafted from Windpack nylon fabric, the outer layer is treated with moisture-resistant Teflon.

Underarm inserts of elastic and breathable material VersaStretch enhance the jacket's comfort.
The elastic trim at the bottom, cuffs, and hood edge efficiently shields against wind. An velcro panel is stitched onto the arm for attaching patches or emblems such as a national flag, unit emblem, or Morale Patches.

Camouflage Desert Night Camo
Desert Night Camo (DNC) is a specialized camouflage pattern developed by the US Army in the 1980s for night operations in desert areas. Designed to be layered over other uniforms, it was mainly used during Operation Desert Storm in the Persian Gulf. The pattern consists of a grid-like arrangement of dark green squares and crosses on an olive-green background. Its main purpose was to disrupt early generations of enemy night vision devices. While it proved moderately effective in practice at suppressing images in night vision devices, it was an innovative approach to night camouflage.

This is already my second Wolfhound. The first one, in classic Camogrom, I've had for five years and even though I didn't take care of it, the jacket still does its job perfectly — there are no abrasions and it's still very warm. I bought the second one only because it became available in Woodland. Great product, I highly recommend it.

For over a year, I was considering buying this jacket, but its price discouraged me because it seemed too high for such a thin piece of clothing. Ultimately, a promotion and KSK points convinced me to make the purchase. At first, I chose size L, which fit, but wasn't completely comfortable because of my belly. I decided on XL, which turned out to be much looser and leaves room for an extra layer, like a fleece. The jacket is really light, comfortable, and considering its thickness, it holds warmth very well—thanks to the insulation and windproof outer layer. Unfortunately, you'll still need a rain poncho for wet weather (I choose one in the same Tramontane camouflage). The jacket handles drizzle just fine, but with heavier rain it soaks through. The biggest advantages are the compact size when packed and its lightness—that's exactly why I chose it.

Very good jacket, exceptionally lightweight, and equally important, it can be quickly packed into a pouch, so it's easy to carry with you. The price may seem high, but you have to pay for high quality. I definitely recommend it.
