The Rothco Tactical Recon Vest keeps your small gear organized on your body, so a day outdoors starts with everything where you expect it. Ten pockets do the work: 9 on the front and 1 zippered pocket at the rear.

Water-resistant nylon and breathable mesh make it an all weather layer, and a front zipper with a drawstring waist gives you a customizable fit. Load the pockets, zip it on and go explore.

Why it works:

  • Gear stays sorted: Each item gets its own spot instead of a jumble in one bag, thanks to 9 front pockets and 1 rear zipper pocket for versatile storage.
  • Comfortable in changing conditions: The vest is built for all weather, made from water-resistant nylon paired with breathable mesh.
  • A fit you can dial in: A front zipper closure works together with a drawstring waist for a customizable fit.
  • Ready for varied outings: It suits various outdoor activities, keeping you prepared and organized on each adventure.
  • Classic recon look: Shoulder epaulets add a tactical touch to the black 100% nylon shell.
