The Mission Workshop Squad Jacket: it's back!

When it comes to waterproof jackets, we’re usually of a mind of something full of technical fabrics, some sort of hood to swallow our noggins, all in a package that looks like it’s set for the trail. What if you want something that’s a little less technical looking? That’s where the Mission Workshop Squad Jacket comes in.

Depending on what sort of TV and movies you watch, the Mission Workshop Squad Jacket may remind you of what a coach might be wearing on the sidelines, or perhaps what the FBI agents toss on before they head out on a raid. Whatever your take on it, it’s a classic, clean profile, and in this case, it’s been designed for comfort and to keep you dry.

Here’s what Mission Workshop says about it:

The Squad is constructed using a durable waterproof/breathable Polartec Neoshell 3-layer textile and features waterproof seam taping throughout. The proprietary fine gauge circular knit face and the lining has excellent next-to-skin comfort, stretch, and breathability. Sandwiched in the middle is the highly breathable and waterproof Polartec® NeoShell® membrane.

So, no, the Mission Workshop Squad Jacket is going to look rather unlike anything you’ve got hanging in your closet for wet weather gear, but it should still perform just as well. If you want to get one, they’re going for $335 (and sold out in a hurry last time) directly over at missionworkshop.com
