Description:
A waist-length softshell that moves with you and keeps the wind out. The First Tactical Men’s Tactix Softshell Jacket (Style 118503) is cut to an "Ike" waist length, so it clears your duty belt. A 4-way stretch shell sheds wind and light rain, a brushed fleece lining adds warmth, and a zip-through neckline guards against weather straight up the middle.
Features
- "Ike" waist length: sits at the waist for easy access to your duty belt.
- 85% nylon, 15% spandex blend: flexible 4-way stretch for durability and movement.
- Water and wind resistant exterior: light weather protection.
- Soft, brushed fleece lining: warm and comfortable.
- Zip-through front neckline: a zip-secure neckline keeps wind and rain from cutting through.
- Inside zip chest pocket with media port access: run an earbud or radio cord from a device stored inside.
- Zip-secure storage pockets: keep small gear in place.
- YKK® zippers, Prym® snaps and Duraflex® hardware: proven name-brand zippers, snaps and adjusters.
How the Tactix system fits together
First Tactical’s Tactix Series outerwear is built as a layering system. Here is how the pieces we carry fit together, based on First Tactical’s product data:
- Tactix 3-in-1 System Parka: waterproof parka shell plus a zip-in Tactix Softshell Parka, sold together.
- Tactix 3-in-1 System Jacket: waterproof jacket shell plus a zip-in softshell short jacket, sold together.
- Tactix Parka Shell and Tactix Jacket Shell: the waterproof shells on their own, with removable hook and loop ID panels, for when you already own a softshell or only need rain and wind protection.
- Tactix Softshell Parka: the zip-in liner from the System Parka, also sold separately; wear it alone in light weather or zip it into a compatible Tactix shell.
- Tactix Softshell Jacket: a waist-length ("Ike") softshell in the same stretch, fleece-lined fabric.
- Tactix Hi-Vis Parka Outer Shell: a high-visibility shell meeting the ANSI/ISEA 107-2010 standard.

Questions about the Tactix Softshell Jacket
How long is the Tactix Softshell Jacket?
It is an "Ike" waist-length jacket, shorter than the Tactix Softshell Parka, so it sits above your duty belt.
Can it be used as a zip-in liner?
First Tactical lists it as compatible with the Men’s Tactix Series System Parka and the Tactix Hi-Vis system parka. If you want a shell and liner sold together, the Tactix 3-in-1 System Jacket includes its own zip-in softshell short jacket. Contact us to confirm a pairing before you order.
Is the Softshell Jacket waterproof?
It is water and wind resistant, made for light weather. For heavy rain, wear a waterproof, seam-sealed Tactix shell over it or choose a 3-in-1 system.
Is the Tactix Softshell Jacket flame resistant?
No. The Tactix Softshell Jacket is not flame-resistant (FR) apparel and is not PPE or turnout gear.
What sizes and colors are available?
Black, Midnight Navy and OD Green in sizes XS through 5XL. See all First Tactical jackets and outerwear.
