20120017348Rapid opening feature on tactical jacket - A jacket, coat or windbreaker, particularly for tactical use by police, for example, has a side opening just below the arm to the bottom of the jacket, provided with a quick-opening feature for fast access to a weapon normally secured under the jacket. The side opening is closed by a zipper pulled downwardly and is concealed by a flap when closed. A small gripping tab extends out at the exterior of the jacket near the bottom edge, at the end of a rip cord that extends through an opening in the jacket and is secured to a plastic buckle or clip somewhat similar to a small seat belt, positioned along the inside surface of the jacket so as to be hidden from the outside. The buckle or clip snaps together to hold the jacket opening secured at bottom. When the rip cord is pulled, this has the effect of releasing the buckle, releasing a VELCRO strip that closes the flap at the bottom edge, and opening the zipper to separate the jacket along the opening line, up to just below the arm if desired. The wearer can thus quickly reach a weapon or other implement by a rapid one-handed pull of the rip cord.01-26-2012
