I don't know the answer to your question, but the red cagool is rubbish anyway, like most of the unform that we get given! It's not waterproof at all so what use is it?

Get better use out of it as an arse wipe.

The old school thermal, and the Harrington are the only true fit for purpose pieces of kit RM have issued. Water proofs are hit and miss, depending on how you look
after them.

The less said about cagoules and the footwear they issue, the better.

It's still there when I just looked, in the outerwear category.

However I must agree with everyone else they're about as much use as an ashtray on a motorbike !
