Dark olive double-breasted coat is equipped with six attached solar panels, encased in long rectangular holders with dark brown synthetic leather edging and clear fronts. The removable photovoltaic panels connect to cables threaded through black plastic stoppers on the coat's interior, designed to plug into lithium rechargeable batteries (now missing), which fit into small interior pockets. Loops sewn into the lining keep the cables organised. Included with the coat are a USB torch and USB cable.

The coat features a wide turn-down whipcord cotton collar, with the main body crafted from a cotton and polyester mix with a polyurethane coating. The lapels turn down with buttonholes at the top, and the coat fastens with four pairs of dark mottled brown plastic buttons, with four functional buttons. There are two inset waist pockets with wide flaps in a darker olive green fabric. The cuffs are finished with wide cotton webbing bands, fastened by two small dark-mottled brown buttons. The back has a long centre vent, and a shoulder yoke lined in checked fabric, and the lower half of the lining is silver-coated, attaching to the outer layer with press studs to conceal cables and batteries. The bottom section is lined with a sewn-down panel of bright orange fabric.
