Gear Review: AFTCO Reaper Tactical Camo Jacket

WHAT IS IT?

AFTCO Reaper Tactical Camo Zip Up Jacket

WHAT SETS IT APART?

AFTCO took its popular Reaper Windproof Pullover and added a digital camo tactical version with zip-up design. What sets it apart is the Stretch 3-Layer Ripstop Soft Shell Fabric, with 90% polyester/10% spandex. AFTCO fused its Hexatron honey-comb fleece liner with the AFTC0-designed stretch ripstop softshell material and treated with a waterproof coating called Durable Water Repellent, or DWR. Available in Navy Digi Camo and Green Digi Camo. Sizes S-2XL. 

HOW DO I USE IT?

Designed for hunters, the jacket also gives anglers another option with the full front zip-up design. The jacket has features carried over throughout the Reaper series, including the integrated face mask. A waist cord cinch can be adjusted for a custom fit, which is handy for layering. Adjustable Velcro cuffs keep water out, and a hood shock cord provides a snug fit when making long, high-speed runs.

ANGLER’S INSIGHT:

The tactical, zip-up version of the Reaper series is ideal for early spring when layering is the best solution for those cold, windy days on the water. It’s comfortable, and the design keeps you warm and dry. Best of all, you get the features from the Reaper series that make it so popular with anglers.
