Rescue Fleece Jacket

Search and Rescue Fleece Jacket – AFAD Clothing Fleece Jacket Product Description

In challenging terrain conditions, variable weather situations, and high-effort operations, one of the most critical equipment pieces for search and rescue personnel is a high-quality upper garment. The Search and Rescue Fleece Jacket is designed precisely to meet these needs, offering functionality and comfort simultaneously. Produced in accordance with AFAD uniform and AFAD fleece jacket standards, this model ensures maximum performance during missions with its durability, visibility, and heat insulation.

High Thermal Insulation and Comfort

Operations often take place in cold weather. Therefore, the clothing used must help maintain body temperature. The Search and Rescue Fleece Jacket is made with high-gram premium fleece fabric. The soft inner texture traps body heat, while its wind-resistant structure makes it easier to fight the cold. The high-quality fleece material, which does not pill even after prolonged use, helps the product maintain its form for years.

Professional Search and Rescue Design

This fleece jacket goes far beyond the classic models; it is designed entirely based on the real field needs of search and rescue teams. Reflective strips on the chest and back maximize visibility during night operations. Since search and rescue missions often occur in low-light environments, these reflective details play a critical role in safety.

The color of the jacket is usually orange or red, according to standards. These colors ensure AFAD compatibility and allow personnel to be easily noticed in dense terrain.

Ergonomic Fit and Freedom of Movement

Search and rescue operations require physical strength and intense activity. Therefore, the garment must not restrict movement. The Search and Rescue Fleece Jacket is produced with an ergonomic fit. The flexible structure under the arms provides maximum freedom during climbing, carrying, or rapid movements.

Shoulder and elbow areas have reinforced fabric panels. Thanks to this added durability, wear and tear are minimized during friction, carrying loads, or contact with brush and branches.

Special Craftsmanship in AFAD Standards

Polar products used by AFAD teams must meet durability and workmanship criteria. For this reason, the zippers, stitching, and prints on the jacket are professional-grade. The zippers operate smoothly even in cold weather and do not get stuck. Zippered pockets on the chest securely hold essential items like radios, gloves, and flashlights.

The optional AFAD print on the chest and back helps other teams identify personnel during missions. These prints do not peel or fade with long-term use.

Wind Resistance and Heat Protection

While the fleece fabric naturally retains heat, the outer surface of the jacket is strengthened with a knitting technique that makes it wind-resistant. Thus, it provides superior protection against cold winds and sudden weather changes. Despite its lightweight structure, it offers excellent thermal insulation, allowing personnel to work for long periods without carrying unnecessary weight.

Multi-Pocket Functional Structure

The functional pockets on the jacket are specially designed for the small equipment frequently needed by search and rescue personnel.

Zippered equipment pocket on the chest

Two large side pockets at the waist

Hidden inner security pocket

These pockets provide quick access during missions and minimize the risk of dropping or losing items.

Corporate Printing and Customization Options

The Search and Rescue Fleece Jacket can be fully customized with corporate prints:

AFAD text

Search and Rescue logo

Municipality or institution name

Personal name or rank print

These customizations create a professional appearance and increase team unity during operations.

Durable and Long-Lasting Use

Designed for outdoor conditions, this product provides high durability. Users experience that the jacket remains functional without wearing out during long missions, climbs, forest areas, or disaster zones. The fleece material is easy to wash and dries quickly, offering practical usability.
