“Of all the SeV jackets that I have reviewed in the past, this one seems to be the most stealthy. With no obvious logos on the jacket’s exterior, and with so many hidden pockets and special features built in, it is no wonder that it has been dubbed SeV’s “most technical jacket yet.” We’ll get into “why” in just a little bit…

With an exterior made of waterproof, windproof, breathable - and dare I add near impossible to photograph in detail - black Finetex®, The Tactical 4.0 is ready for just about any weather conditions that may arise. The interior is completely lined in Coolmax® mesh, which keeps the jacket from being too heavy and makes it the perfect shell to wear on cooler days. It’s even appropriate for warmer days because the sleeves can be unzipped at the shoulder, turning the jacket into a comfortable vest.”
