Stay warm, protected, and comfortable in some of the world’s harshest climates. Designed specifically for Navy and Marine Corps aviators and approved by NAVAIR, this softshell prioritizes fit and lightweight functionality for a jacket that performs when you do. A windproof, waterproof, and breathable membrane helps keep rain out without trapping sweat.
This garment features Massif’s flame-resistant technology and won’t support combustion in flash fire scenarios. The jacket’s fleece lining features Massif Flamestretch and is constructed with DuPont™ Nomex® brand fiber. Engineered with Massif’s proprietary knitting and finishing technology, Flamestretch provides built-in flame resistance, proven durable performance, and comfort from the inside out.

"Massif is creating garments that people have needed for quite some time. I had the chance to use my Elements jacket several times at work before spring finally arrived. It was by far the most comfortable and functional jacket I have used for flying. The design lends itself to doing its job in a cramped cockpit or in tight quarters. This Elements jacket is comfortable in the helicopter as well as standing in stiff, cold breezes while refueling."
