Description
Special Edition B310 in our Mechanical Stretch Fabric, as used on Arktis’s Contact range. Lighter than their standard ripstop and ready to flex with you, the Mechanical Stretch Nylon Cotton blend weighs only 185gsm while boasting CORDURA fibre ripstop and a native mechanical stretch. Lightweight, sturdy and comfortable with their usual DWR finish for water resistance and treatment for reduced NIR signature.
The B310 is a fully waterproof combat smock used by Special Forces & tough military units around the world. Arktis originally designed the B310 for the SAS in the late 80’s. There have been a few tweaks over the years, however the fundamentals for a simple and reliable jacket have remained the same. The B310 is one of the greatest garments of the entire industry, many thousands of which have been sold across the world, often imitated but never bettered.
The fundamentals of the Arktis principle are rooted in achieving efficiency and durability by a simple and practical approach. Special heavy-duty nylon thread, powerful bartacks, easy adjusters and generous sizing are all standard features.
The waterproof/breathable characteristic is achieved by a light-but-strong seam sealed inner dropliner. By having the critical performance fabric shielded by the outer shell, any nicks or tears that might occur during wear and tear mean that the garment will probably remain waterproof/breathable despite damage to the outer shell.
Over the years, there has been hardly had a single return. The B310 has faithful adherents from Sweden to Australia – it works well in all climates.
