3 Season Jacket Given the nature of Alberta weather, the thin combat jacket is typically not warm enough to brave the elements. This Jacket is made with a thicker rougher material and is great for milder winter weather, spring and fall. Due to the lack of neck and head protection, this Jacket is not suited for harsher winter weather unless it is combined with a Shemagh/Scarf and toque. This Jacket highly varies in price. Winter Parka This Winter Jacket is the ultimate in cold weather protection and is an alternative to the 3 season jacket. It has a wire detachable hood that can bend around the face, fire and water resistant pockets, and can brave even the harshest of winter weathers. This Jacket, much like the 3 season jacket, varies highly in price, but one can expect to pay extra for this. Shemagh The Shemagh (much like a scarf) is a great addition for windier or colder weather, and in milder weather can sometimes be just enough to offset the elements without having to upgrade to the larger beefier jacket. It can be purchased in either Olive Drab or Green Camo Colours. (NO desert colors!). This item is often around $15. As well, if the Cadet wishes to embody his/her inner survivor man/woman there are some additional items that are common in the field. These items are by no means mandatory, and serve no safety, health or wellbeing purpose, they are simply nifty and useful. The ones listed here are only a few of the most common and useful items, there are dozens if not hundreds of other items that can be purchased. Optional Sweater Although this does provide warmth, it is unnecessary while the cadets are in possession of a jacket. Additionally this sweater is intended to be warn as an insulating layer in between the combat jacket and t-shit. This item varies upward of $15
