Women make up around 17% of active-duty military, and the armed forces recognize their growing role and importance. As part of that response, the Army and Air Force have been updating everything from AR 670-1 grooming standards to accepted uniforms to meet the needs of female soldiers. While women have mostly had to purchase scaled-down sizes for male uniforms, a lot of manufacturers are shifting gears to accommodate the Military’s ever expanding force. Today we’re going to dive in on some of our favorite women’s military uniforms.
Women’s Army Uniform Coats
A women’s Army uniform (or Air Force uniform) starts with the right coat. You should look for one that’s tailored to fit your body properly, and still allows a full range of movement. Here are some of our favorites.
Propper Coat ACU OCP Women’s Uniform Coat
The Propper® Women’s Army ACU OCP Uniform Coat is made with fade-, shrink-, and wrinkle- resistant 50% nylon/50% cotton fabric and reinforced elbows, so you know it can stand up to your toughest jobs and it will last a long time. In addition to being extremely durable, it’s also designed with comfort in mind. You’ll appreciate the fabric’s flexibility and breathability during those tough missions and training.
Speaking of missions, the coat also offers bicep pockets, pen pockets, and utility pockets to store all of your mission-critical gear. It’s easy to customize the uniform with your branch, name tapes, rank, and badges. Just use our uniform builder and we’ll take care of it for you.
