extended on one side, so it forms a flap, which makes it possible to fasten the whole with a Velcro. On the other side, there is a sewn-on longer section of Velcro . That's a good idea, it provides some range for adjustments. From the outside, there is a small Velcro strap, thanks to which it is possible to fasten the flap, when we do not want to clasp the stand-on collar and prefer wearing it unrolled. The inside has been sewn-on with a completely different, mellow material. Its color also differs from the rest of the jacket. It is several color tones brighter and more vivid. The seam of the collar includes a tab with the size and a loop for hanging the jacket. The back of the jacket has raglans that go along the sides from arms to the waist. They provide freedom of movement, nothing clings to our back (provided that we have chosen the correct size - in the case of NFM, it is quite challenging). Raglans give 12 cm more to the chest. Speaking of chest, let us talk about the pockets. Two large front upper pockets are closed with flaps – both have a Velcro loops for attaching nametags and branch tapes. There's nothing unusual at first glance. Let us have a closer look, then. The first surprise is the method of closing the flaps: the half that is closer to the fastener of the jacket is closed with a slotted button on a belt, while the broader part, near the hand, is closed with a Velcro. In my opinion, that is a brilliant solution, since when we want to quickly take something out of the pocket, I unfasten the Velcro and have a sufficient access to the inside. Oh yeah, each pocket has a small sewn-in loop on the side of the jacket fastening. It may be used to firmly hold a light stick, a pen, a marker, an electronic cigarette, or anything similar. The lower part of the pouch has two drainage holes. Additionally, after a closer look at those pockets, we may notice a small section of material that forms a slat, under which you will find an additional profiled plastic grip with the logo of NFM. They really put attention to details. That's a nice feature. After opening the zipper, we get access to mesh pockets on both sides. What is more, we also may access them from the inside, by splitting the Velcro strap that closes the whole element near the main zipper of the jacket. Inner pockets are quite deep, because they take almost the whole size of the front jacket: in width (from the line of the armpit to the zipper closing the jacket) and in height (from the waist drawstring to the sections of a soft Velcro over the pockets). Oh yeah, the waist. Another simple solution here – a shock cord ended with a stopper on both sides. No bizarre designs UNIFORMS
