    recon smockThe Recon Smock is a derivative of our now world famous Recce Smock (at this

    point we recommend that those who are not familiar with the British smock

    concept visit our Recce Smock section for more detailed and essential

    information). American soldiers inundated us for requests to do an

    Americanized version of the Drop Zone Recce Smock in U.S. Military

    Camouflage Patterns. We were flattered with this demand and whenappropriate fabric of high quality was made available to us we jumped at

    the opportunity.

    As our classic Recce Smock is

    now highly refined, the

    differences between the two

    smocks are mostly cosmetic.

    The Recon Smock is fitted

    with two Velcro name tabs

    instead of one . The Canadian

    style rank tab was removed in

    favor of a 2x 2 Velcrosquare. The shoulder pocket

    Velcro has been in creased

    2x 4 to 6x 4 to better

    accommodate U.S. military

    badges.

    The only structural feature we

    changed was to eliminate the hem Krott cord and replace it with a law

    enforcement style holster slot zipper on both sides. This change has been

    so well received that it will be a running production change on our Recce

    Smocks as well.

    Other than the above small details, all the features that made our original

    Recce Smock a classic can be found on

    the Recon Smock:

    GTwo, zipper closed, interior chest

    pockets.

    G Three, rear, interior, Velcro closed E&E pockets

    G Two, exterior shoulder

    pockets closed with YKK

    zippers

    G Two, exterior, lower hand

    warmer with YKK zippers.G Two, exterior, lower cargo

    pockets with lanyard D-ring and

    secured with button closed flaps

    piggy backed on to the hand

    warmer pockets

    G Two, exterior, chest mounted,

    YKK zip closed, admin

    pockets with two pen pockets

    each!

    We call this sippered opening thetickle pocket. It is not really a

    pocket, but a slot that allows you toaccess theinside of the smockwithout having to undo the main zip.

    Ideal for the back up!

    To coordinate better with U.S.

    military uniforms, we eliminatedthe Canadian style rank tab andreplaced it with Velcro.

    This feature was suggestedby many users of the RecceSmock. A police style holster slot.

    Thie holster slot is now closedand the wearer is all snug and

    warm.

    The Drop Zone designers love ahappy ending!

    G Two, exterior, chest mounted, cargo

    pockets with lanyard D-ring, and

    button flap closures piggy backed on

    to the admin pockets.

    G Two-way #10 YKK main zip with

    reach through zip.

    G Roll-away hood that is fully

    adjustable to accommodate use with or

    without ballistic helmets.

    G Cord locked waist drawstring made

    from shock cord for maximummovement.

    G Double layered yoke to increase

    water resistance.

    GVelcro closed forearm/elbow

    pockets for foam padding placement.

    GVelcro adjusted sleeve cuffs.

    G YKK zipper underarm vents.

    At last a smock developed for the

    U.S. Service member is available.

    The fully adjustable snorkle hood

    features a good solid quilt stitch brim.Note the PASGT

    helmet.

    The cord

    locks are

    adjustablewith one

    hand.

    This is a good view of the rear of the

    fully adjustable hood. Note the Velcroadjuster. It is long enough to

    accomodate the largest of ballistichelmets. This design has proven itselffor years on our Recce Smock.

    Why muck with something that works?

    Curious, as our Recon Smock is not

    waterproof, we queried the lads as towhat they do in heavy rains. They told usthey pack a light water proof nylon rain

    jacket that has no features. Thefeatureless rain jacket packs nicely in a

    web gear pouch or smock pocket. Thelads also told us they rarely wear the

    rain jacket, except for short periodswhen the rain comes down in buckets,and that they were more than happy to

    trade the high bulk of the issuewaterproof / breathable field jacket for

    the convenience, breathability, and lowerbulk of the smock and rain jacket

    combo!

    Sizing when ordering your Recon

    Smock is easy. We have generouslycut the jacket. If you wear a mens

    large shirt, order a large RecceSmock. If you wear a medium shirt,order a medium Recon Smock and

    so on. In fact the Recon Smock is cutso well it is a perfect shell for our

    Squeeze Me Field Jacket Liner.

    Sizing: Small, Medium, Large, Extra

    Large, Double Extra Large.

    Knowing full well the Recon Smock will be used under less thanideal conditions, laundering is a snap. Just empty your treasuresfrom all your pockets, secure all fasteners, zips, etc. and machine

    wash using a laundry soap and warm, NOT HOT water. You can rubstubborn stains with jellied hand cleaner, just before dropping into

    the machine.Hang dry or machine dry the Recon Smock, warm, NOT HOT!

    When dry give the Recce Smock a light spray with a silicone orTeflon waterproofing. We like a brand called Tectron.

    Ever since the Drop Zone designers werecholdren it was drilled that the job wasnt

    over until the paper work was done.

    They did not forget that lesson.

    Each of the zippered admin pocketsfeatures two angled pen pockets.

    Ideal for officers and senior NCOs.

    How on eath did you get your paper work

    done befoer Drop Zone built theRecon Smock?

    The folks at YKK love the Drop

    Zone design team and you willtoo! Look at the big long under

    arm vent zips!
