M-Tac Hardshell Jacket
The M-Tac Hardshell Jacket is a lightweight membrane jacket designed for use in extreme weather conditions.
It is made from a high-performance 3-layer laminated fabric Quattro™ Assault®, engineered for tactical use in harsh environments. The membrane features 20,000 mm waterproof rating and 20,000 g/m²/24h breathability, providing reliable protection in heavy rain while efficiently managing moisture and maintaining body temperature.
All seams are fully sealed to enhance water resistance. For improved ventilation during high activity, the jacket is equipped with underarm zip vents.
The jacket features two vertical zippered pockets for essential gear. It also includes a non-removable adjustable hood, which can be stowed into the stand-up collar when not in use. Sleeve cuffs are adjustable with hook-and-loop tabs, while the hem is adjusted using an elastic drawcord with cord locks.

Answers, straight up.
Product-specific questions on the left. Shopping with SRO on the right. Both open-ended — hit us if we missed one.
Do I need a hardshell if my insulated jacket is water-resistant?
Water-resistant handles a shower. A 20,000 mm seam-sealed membrane handles a day of rain. The two do different jobs: insulation holds heat, a shell keeps weather off it. Layering an insulated jacket or vest under a hardshell also lets you shed one piece as conditions change, rather than being stuck in a single jacket that is either too warm or not warm enough.
How do the PrimaLoft weights compare across the range?
100 g/m² is mid-season — the Space Armor and Berserk jackets, for cool mornings and shoulder-season use. 170 g/m² is the winter tier — the Vityaz vest concentrates it on the core, and the Paladin jacket carries it full-body with a stated comfort rating down to −20 °C. If you already own a hardshell, a 100 g/m² midlayer plus the shell covers more of the year than one heavy jacket.
How long does shipping take?
Most orders process within 1–3 business days from our warehouse. From there: 5–7 business days economy, 2–3 business days expedited, or overnight if you need it fast. Free economy shipping on orders over $150 (contiguous US). Alaska, Hawaii, and Pro Eagle / freight items are quoted at checkout. You’ll get a tracking number and link the moment your order ships.
What’s your return policy?
30 days from the day your order arrives. Gear has to come back unused, with all original tags, stickers, and packaging intact. For standard items we’ll send a prepaid return label and deduct return shipping from your refund. Oversized or freight returns are on you, unless the item showed up damaged, defective, or wrong — in which case we cover it.
Refunds hit your original payment method within 10 business days of approval.
What can’t I return?
Final-sale items, gift cards, food and drink products, personal-care items, anything customized or engraved, briefs (hygiene), and hazardous materials. If you’re not sure whether something qualifies, email us before you order — we’ll tell you straight.
Do you ship outside the contiguous US?
Yes. Alaska, Hawaii, and US territories ship on freight-quoted rates calculated after checkout. International orders are available worldwide at variable rates; duties and import fees are the customer’s responsibility. EU customers get a 14-day cancellation window per EU consumer law, on top of our standard return policy.
My package arrived damaged — what now?
Email info@stayreadyoutdoors.com within 7 days of delivery with your order number and clear photos of the damage (product + packaging). We’ll replace, refund, or ship a return label on us — no back-and-forth. Damaged, defective, or wrong-item claims never cost you shipping.
Can I talk to a human before buying?
Yes. Email info@stayreadyoutdoors.com — we answer every message ourselves, usually within a few hours during business days. We carry this gear, we use this gear, and we’d rather talk you out of a kit that doesn’t fit your mission than sell you the wrong one.
Do you offer a military/first-responder discount?
Yes. Active-duty and veteran military, police, fire, EMS, and medical first responders get 10% off every order. Verify through GovX at checkout — one-time, secure, and reusable across thousands of brands. Discount applies automatically once you’re verified.
