The Delta is a winter jacket of Russian origin.[3][4][5][6][7]

Overview[]

The Delta jacket is a windproof and waterproof winter jacket manufactured by the Russian company SPLAV. These jackets are made in three materials called "Oxford" (Оксфорд), "Tourist" (Турист), "Gretta", "Jupiter", and "blended". Oxford material is 100% nylon with polyurethane (PU) coating while Tourist is 100% polyacrylic with "acrylic resin film layer".[8] "Jupiter" was a heavy-weight water-repellent fabric,[9] composed of 67% polyether, 33% viscose.[10] "Blended" is 60% cotton, 40% polyester, which is labeled as more than twice as heavy as "Tourist"[8] Gretta was 53% cotton, 47% polyether.[8]

Around 2002-2003 April, the jacket was only available in Jupiter and it was only available in black or olive green.[11] Around 2003 August onwards, it was only available in the other materials.[12]

The insulation is made of synthetic fiber padding polyester (300 g/m2) known as synthepon (синтепон) which does not absorb moisture and can be washed frequently.

The jacket has two breast pockets, one pocket under the radio, two pockets at the lower section and one inner pocket. It is fastened by zipper, which has covering flap. The breast pockets and the zipper flap are fastened with snap fasteners. The waistline and the cuffs are adjustable in size using additional snap fasteners which helps to prevent the penetration of cold air. Shoulder straps also fastened by snap fasteners are present on the jacket. The jacket can be fitted with a hood or faux fur collar.
