Synced for action: the Trooper Set is ready to go

5 min. reading

Sometimes things just work. No unnecessary extras, no compromises – just pure reliability. That’s the idea behind the Trooper set: a jacket and pants designed for users who demand more.

These two separate products complement each other perfectly, forming a dependable outerwear combo ready for field operations and tactical missions. And when you’re off duty, the Troopers still have your back – they also handle harsh outdoor conditions.

Lightweight, functional, no compromise – Trooper Mk2 Jacket

The Trooper Mk2 is a modern take on the tactical softshell. It is lightweight, stretchy, and optimized for action in the field. A stowable hood with a shaped brim hides neatly in the collar, while an extended back protects your kidneys when you’re on the move or kneeling. The jacket comes with only the pockets you actually need: two chest pockets with internal organizers and two shoulder pockets with hook and loop panels for patches.

We’ve deliberately removed the back and forearm pockets. Why? Because less bulk means faster drying and lower weight, and in the field, simplicity and accessibility matter most. This is a jacket for people who know exactly what they need – and don’t want anything they don’t.

Freedom of movement, built for the field – Trooper Pants

The Trooper Pants are built to perform – whether you’re in the thick of an operation or just pushing hard in the outdoors. Their anatomical cut and stretchy fabric give you full freedom of movement. Ventilation? Absolutely. Long side zippers let you easily regulate body temperature.

There’s also space for knee pads – you know how important that is. Six functional pockets give you all the storage you need: two cargo pockets, two front hand pockets, and two side pockets with organizers and zippers.

But wait, there’s more. Reinforcements in high-wear areas and the option to add shock cords to the cuffs let you convert them into makeshift gaiters. This setup works year-round – the pants pair perfectly with Level 1 thermal base layers as an outer shell.

StormStretch – the fabric that knows its job

The Trooper Jacket and Pants (in the non-MultiCam® versions) are made from StormStretch – a lightweight, breathable, tough nylon blend with 2% elastane. The fabric stretches in two directions, giving you better mobility. It resists abrasions, dries quickly, and doesn’t soak up moisture. Even after hard use, StormStretch holds its shape and stays reliable.

The MultiCam® version – when camouflage is critical

The Trooper Set in MultiCam® is built for operational effectiveness. MultiCam® is designed to conceal you in various environments – from urban alleys to forests, mountains, and semi-arid terrain. It breaks up your outline, making it harder to spot and identify you in the field.

The MultiCam® version isn’t just about looks – it’s made from a different fabric: nylon with extra abrasion resistance, while still being lightweight. Key design details like the contoured hood, vented legs, and well-placed pockets stay the same. It’s a no-compromise choice for those who can’t afford to make mistakes out there.

Two pieces. One mission: be ready

The Trooper Set – Mk2 Jacket and Pants – are separate pieces that work together seamlessly. Field-tested, movement-friendly, and ready for anything. Whether you need a reliable tactical setup or versatile outdoor gear, this is it. When performance matters, you don’t need to look any further.
