5th Special Forces Group - The Legion

Thirty-nine days after 9/11, teams from the 5th Special Forces Group deployed to the mountainous region of Afghanistan, along the Hindu Kush. The weather was atrocious — sandstorms, black clouds of hail, snow and ice — changing with each mile they traveled, and elevation to elevation. Yet they persevered together, carrying the hopes of the American people, and were victorious.

“Strength and Honor” is the mantra of the 5th Special Forces Group. We honor their legacy.

Our new Task Force Dagger Polartec fleece jacket pays homage to the jackets that were worn by those Special Forces units 20 years ago, and even uses the same Polartec 300 weight fleece. In 1981, Polartec® changed the game for cold weather performance apparel with the invention of polar synthetic fleece. With greater resiliency, lightweight warmth and fast dry times, it remains the industry standard for performance outerwear and breathable fleece jackets.

Olivia E. ★★★★★

The interior feels denser than most fleeces I've owned, and that Polartec lining held up through a windy ridge hike without me needing a shell. The chest pocket placement is perfect for a phone when you're wearing a pack.

Brian U. ★★★★★

I’ve worn this through a few cold mornings already and the Polartec fleece holds warmth without making me feel like I’m in a sauna. The cut is roomy enough to layer over a base shirt but still looks sharp for casual wear.

Steven ★★★★★

The fleece lining is thick enough that I didn’t need a base layer under it at 30 degrees, and the cuffs stay put when I’m reaching for gear. It’s got that rugged, no-nonsense feel that matches the mountain heritage in the description.
