The Belgian Jigsaw Waterproof jacket was built by Seyntex with tropical downpours in mind, although it can brave snow and ice very well — featuring a similar waterproof membrane we have come to know and love from our Austrian cousins and their waterproof parka.
Belgian Jigsaw has a much tamer history than the rest of Belgium, originally developed in 1956, the pattern consists of rusty earth, "Bottle" green and khaki green elements amidst smaller, black and white shapes. Originally intended for use in Europe it also worked suspiciously well in the Congo. There were 4 generations of "Jigsaw" issued over it's 66 year reign, with minor pattern changes and improvements in fabrics, with the final jigsaw pattern seeing the removal of the bits of white prevalent in previous patterns.
With its two large zippered front pockets, your Belgium chocolate is guaranteed to stay dry, and the adjustable hood, cuffs and hem will keep the jacket fitted to you, and any kit underneath.
Specs
Condition
Jackets are in excellent to like-new condition with no tears, stains, rips or holes. Membrane will be intact, and ready for downpours. All hardware is intact and functional. Jigsaw pattern may vary from photos shown.
Sizing
You'll want to roll with your usual shirt/jacket size if you intend to throw layers underneath, otherwise if you're planning on going with just a shirt underneath for a more "fitted" look, you're good to size down one. :)
I’ve bought a similar jacket before and ordered the wrong size because I didn’t do my research. This time I did. I am 6’ and 240 lbs, I ordered a large and it fits great with room to layer if needed. It’s an excellent wind breaker but I haven’t used it in the rain yet. Overall a niece price of waterproof kit at an affordable price 10/10 would buy again.
The colors in the pictures are pretty spot on its water proof and it came in great shape. Fit and size is great too.
My first jigsaw camp and purchase from KS and both are awesome! Perfect timing too as I got this we had heavy rain and a big ole nader that next day ! Will be greatly useful for live shots at work and sneakily getting the story
Belgium isn’t real but this drip sure is 💧💧💧💧💧💧💧💧#packwatch
Looks great and feels great. Yet to test in the rain but satisfied with it.
