Mark I Tactical Fleece on Steroids

I bought a Mark I jacket way back when Kitanica was a new company. Although I rarely wore the Mark I jacket, I constantly wore the zip-in fleece. For over 10 years I wore it whenever the weather turned colder. I had to replace the velcro due to wear and age. Even after a decade the jacket material remained new looking. The only tell the age of the jacket was over a decade was the paint on the black metal zippers was fading. When I saw Kitanica was essentially making the tactical fleece with a hood I bought one. This one was made in the Philippines, not the USA. That said, the quality, material, and warmth was identical to the original one. The addition of the hood threw me at first, as I wasn't used to having one, but as soon as the cold spring rains started, I was glad I had it. The inner pockets are slightly reconfigured, but more useful, and the hand warming pockets are now real pockets, not a passthrough to the larger inner compartment on the original fleece. The addition of the extra zip pockets on the arms and to the side of the two main chest pockets make the fleece far more capable from a storage perspective. All in all, Kitanica took one of the best items in my wardrobe and brought it to the next level. It won't zip into a Mark I jacket, but it stands on its own, nevertheless.

I appreciated the detail of this softshell, I is however a little stiff, but I suspect that will change with usage.

Almost perfect!!!

Almost perfect!!! I’m usually not that generous, but hey, this is a KITANICA product.

As a tall guy who has spent a lifetime dealing with sleeves that are too short, the TACS sleeves are long enough to provide complete freedom of movement without binding in the least!!!

Plenty of pockets, intelligently located and easy to to open / close. The Velcro tapes on the cuffs and hood are big time durable. And the drawstring adjusters are in the right places for great control and easy access.

Comfortable in 65 degrees down to 45 degrees with wind chill in the 30’s. With a Tamarack or other hoodie underneath, I’m sure it will go quite a bit colder.

The fabrics live up to their description - durable and resilient - and yet really soft and flexible.

Only 1 thing I can think of as an improvement would be a 2-way zipper.

Thanks for a grand slam, KITANICA!!!
