Newly redesigned, Massif's Element Jacket incorporates on-the-job feedback from our customers for the best fit and functionality possible. The triple-layer fabric construction features a fleece-lined interior, abrasion-resistant exterior, and windproof, waterproof, breathable membrane that keeps rain and snow out but won't trap moisture when you're working up a sweat. The new design is sized to fit comfortably over uniforms.
Constructed with DuPont™ Nomex® - the first flame-resistant fiber selected for use in military uniforms. Nomex fibers carbonize and thicken when exposed to the intense heat of a flash fire, creating a protective barrier that reduces or prevents burn injuries.

"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 the tight quarters where the med crews work. We never really know where we are going to end up when we pull a shift. This Elements jacket is comfortable in the helicopter as well as standing in the pre-dawn mist waiting for the med-crew to return with a patient, or in stiff, cold breezes while refueling."
