Plastic sleeve? That was there in the sample. It is a modern substitute and is very flexible. When i checked that, I had to work at trying to separate the layers to feel the middle layer.

I had stressed to Irfan how important it was that the arms, chest and back have it. When we play field tacticals on rainy days ( rain is period!) we need the upper body waterproofing.

I am very surprised if he didn't have that in.

Let me email him and verify that.

I was a little to fast in the reply, sorry.....

Arms do not have that but the top 10 cm from shoulders do.
Chest does have it up to the top if the chest pockets (15cm from top seam down)
Also the upper 15cm of the back. (Measured from top seam)

Upper side of the legs (When driving) dont have it.

The original I refer to has a waterproofing the whole chest. (Partial) back, Full sleeves and top of the legs (till knee)

Added Some photos to my comparison album.

I received mine today and am very happy with it. It looks great, fits great (glad I went with a size 7), and I can move around in it. It doesn't weigh as much as an original, but that's fine by me. Irfan does really nice work!
