Is the Operator jacket waterproof?

No. It is water resistant through the bonded laminate, but buyers report it wets through in steady rain.

It has a trim, athletic cut. Many buyers call the fit perfect; others size up because it runs snug across the chest.

Can I add a department patch or embroidery?

Yes. There is an inner left chest embroidery access point, but the jacket has no patch panels on the sleeves.

Is it warm enough for winter?

It suits cool weather and layering. The micro fleece backing adds warmth, but it is not a heavy winter coat.

Does it have side zippers for a sidearm?

No. Buyers note there are no side access zippers, so it is not set up for concealed duty draw.

Three-layer bonded polyester with a micro fleece inner layer and a film laminate, with raglan sleeves and a stand-up collar.
