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.
Carrying thetradition
forward fromthe Recce
Smock, allfour frontcargo pockets
feature lanyadD-rings for
keeping yourgear secure.
Ideal for yourcompass and
admin light!

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!
