Description:
Wear it alone on a cool shift or zip it into your Tactix shell when the weather turns. The First Tactical Men’s Tactix Softshell Parka (Style 118501) is the zip-in layer that comes with the Tactix 3-in-1 System Parka, sold here on its own. The 4-way stretch shell sheds wind and light rain, a brushed fleece lining adds warmth, and zip-secure pockets keep your gear in place.
