It’s that time of the year again that we look at gear specifically for the coming winter months, and a good “Safe Zone Jacket” is one of the things that we place high on our list of “must haves”!
What do we mean by a “Safe Zone Jacket” though? Pretty much exactly what the name would suggest, a jacket that can be kept back in the Safe Zone to throw on for immediate warmth and comfort when we come off the field with a head of steam up, a real “winter warmer” if you like.
One of the latest jackets that we’ve been testing is the SNUGPAK TORRENT WGTE JACKET, and it’s a real winner as far as we’re concerned!
The TORRENT WGTE jacket, as Snugpak say, “is built to battle everything nature has to throw at it”. Insulated with exclusive Softie insulation and featuring fully taped seams, not only is this a very warm jacket that’s rated to -10°C (extreme), but it’s fully waterproof too, just perfect for winter range days at AAHQ or chilly Safe Zones anywhere!
This fully featured jacket comes with a detachable insulated hood that can be rolled away or removed when not in use, dual adjusters on the sides and rear of the hood allow for a perfect fit. Deep hand pockets allow you to store your gloves or valuables safely and thermal linings also help to keep your hands warm and comfortable. You will also find a deep hidden chest pocket inside the jacket.
The main jacket zip and pocket zips all use YKK weatherproof zips, to keep you protected from the elements, and there are also underarm ventilation zips with mesh covering, to allow you to vent and regulate and manage your core temperature.
Available in Black and Forest Green the aptly-named TORRENT really is a great jacket, and comes with a thorough recommendation from us!
