Jump smock

Australian Paratrooper of 3RAR wearing a DPCU Para Smock.

Jump Smocks are combat jackets especially made for paratroopers[1] or any member of the military involved in parachute deployment. They usually have the wraps around the lower half or sometimes crotch flaps that prevent the smock from 'billowing' during a parachute descent. Jump Smocks can be found worn by many militaries around the world with the most noted being the United Kingdom, Australia, Austria, Belgium, France, Mexico, Pakistan, and Iraq.
