Snow Peak's reworking of the classic military fatigue jacket uses high-density nylon with a washed finish and subtle wrinkled texture that makes it feel broken-in from day one. The slanted chest pockets and roomy cut make us think of those Vietnam-era US jungle jackets, but with loads of practical improvements like a zipped waist pocket and super-wide bellows pockets that wrap around your sides for maximum storage. Bonus points for natty little touches like the button-across collar flap. Ideal for warmer climes and lightweight travel, it’s got a water-repellent treatment to keep the drizzle and dirt off, and the nylon fabric is quick-drying if you get caught up in a downpour.

Snow Peak's journey began in 1958, when the founder Yukio Yamai, an accomplished mountaineer, created his own line of superior climbing gear. Snow Peak then looked to evolve by shifting its focus from the mountaineering equipment of the past to the camping equipment of the future. Fueled by the booming national interest in auto-camping sweeping across Japan, Snow Peak released a series of radically innovative products which focused on quality, functionality, timeless-durability and considered design.
