For example, the lower back and shoulder areas are made from a lightweight Gore-tex fabric to keep the wearer dry while the middle of the back, which requires more breathability when wearing a pack, is made from a lined-knit fabric. The CDJ features a stretchy wind resistant nylon fabric with sleeves crafted from a four-way stretch material. CDJ’s are lined with coyote gridded fleece and features color matched waterproof zippers. Sleeves are capped with a monkey paw design and has a roll up neck gaiter incorporated into the collar. Other features of the CDJ are fabrics that suppress growth of odor causing fungus, pockets designed with a hand warmer feature, and chest and sleeve rank tabs.
