New requirements for Emergency Crews working in traffic environments require ANSI visibility vests and or clothing. Why hassle with yet another piece of gear / PPE. By combining the coat you need with the ANSI visibility protection that is required just seemed like a no-brainer. After looking at all the available styles the 5.11 wins on all counts. Style, warmth, adaptability and longevity. These itemas are not cheap so I wanted the best for my hard earned dollar and 5.11 has never let me down. just one look and you know this parka will be in service in multiple environments for a long time to come. The only drawback was the radio pocket. Conventional comm systems will fit nicely but newer generation interoperatability radios are larger than conventional ones and therefore don't fit well in the radio pocket. If you can live with that, then I have a great parka for you. I get compliments on it all the time.
