Product Overview
Cold-weather outerwear can make belt-mounted equipment harder to reach, especially when a jacket is fully zipped. The Rothco Concealed Carry Soft Shell Jacket addresses that with a two-way front zipper and an internal carry layout accessible from either side. Its padded concealed carry pockets, fleece lining, and weather-resistant soft shell construction bring equipment organization and outdoor comfort together in one jacket.
Internal carry storage on both sides
The ambidextrous layout includes two built-in padded pockets for concealed firearm carry or personal accessories. Two internal magazine pouches on each side provide additional organization, so the storage arrangement does not depend on a single preferred carry side. The padding adds cushioning around pocket contents, while the internal placement keeps those items out of the exterior pockets.
The front zipper opens from the top or bottom. Opening the lower portion gives you access to equipment beneath the jacket without having to unzip it completely—a useful detail when you want to keep most of your outer layer closed against the cold. When choosing your size, consider the clothing and equipment you intend to wear underneath as well as what you plan to keep in the internal pockets.
Weather protection with adjustable airflow
A waterproof, three-layer fabric system combines a 100% polyester outer shell with wind-deflecting, heat-retaining, moisture-releasing construction. Inside, a soft, breathable fleece liner adds warmth and a comfortable inner surface for cooler conditions.
Temperature control is not limited to opening the front of the jacket. Underarm ventilation zippers let you increase airflow as activity picks up, which is useful during outdoor work, hiking, or movement between positions on an airsoft field. Adjustable elastic wrist cuffs and a drawstring waist let you close down openings where cold air can enter.
The hood offers another adjustment for changing weather: it can be stored inside the collar when it is not needed, deployed when conditions turn, or removed entirely. That gives you a choice between keeping coverage close at hand and wearing the jacket without the hood.
Exterior organization and patch space
The military-styled exterior provides separate storage locations for smaller essentials rather than relying only on the concealed carry compartments. Its pocket layout includes:
- Two zippered chest pockets
- Two zippered shoulder pockets
- One back pocket
- One arm pocket
Two shoulder loop fields provide attachment space for patches, making the jacket useful for team identification on the airsoft field as well as other tactical clothing setups. For customers who want a soft shell for duty, outdoor activities, or everyday cold-weather wear, the key distinction is its combination of internal carry organization and adjustable coverage—not simply extra exterior pockets.
