Fit and Features

Both the jacket and the pants are designed with a regular fit, meaning they’ll provide a comfortable silhouette that fits in all the right places without being too baggy or slim. However, remember to size up one size for standard AK sizing as this is made according to Japanese sizing (choose XXL for XL and so on…).

Embodying all the necessary features, the AK Japan Guide jacket comes with a zippered radio pocket with a port and a right chest device pocket. And, as no two heads are completely alike, the StormForm Hood is made to fit with precision no matter the size of the head. The contoured shape fits perfectly over any helmet and integrates seamlessly with goggles too.

As for the bibs, they feature zippered hand-warmer pockets and a waist pocket with an interior key clip, hook-and-loop closure, a glove-friendly beacon pocket at the waist and a power mesh interior device pocket.

The seams have also been fully taped with Gore-Seam tape on both the jacket and the pants, making sure every seam is sealed providing for complete waterproofness. For added safety, there’s a RECCO reflector on both parts of the outfit.
