Thornback Tactical Hood — Detach Series 3

A standalone tactical hood from Thornback, a street-adjacent security outfitter operating out of Circuit Ward 12. Cut from laminated ballistic ripstop in matte black with subtle olive undertone, it features a built-in balaclava liner that can be rolled down into the collar. The rear panel has a split-channel seam running crown to neck — accommodating spinal rigs and dorsal chrome up to 40mm profile. Horn slots at the crown are reinforced with bonded flex-rubber grommets, cleanly finished. Attachment points at the collar connect to standard tactical plate carrier mounts.

story hooks

The split-channel seam design was reverse-engineered from a stolen Axiom Defense prototype — Axiom has been trying to trace the leak for two years.
A specific run of Series 3 hoods was sold to both sides of a Circuit Ward 12 territorial dispute; the hoods are identical, and the bodies are sometimes hard to tell apart afterward.
A geneware-modded individual with full rack horns wore this hood through a corponation checkpoint without being flagged — the grommets suppress heat signature from horn bases.

physical description

visual profile	A sleek, utilitarian hood with pronounced architectural lines. The split-channel seam creates a subtle ridge down the back, giving it an almost vertebral appearance. When worn, it frames the face with sharp angles and projects an unmistakably security-oriented aesthetic. The matte finish absorbs light, making it blend into shadow while the olive undertone catches ambient neon.
fit	Snug and conforming around the head and neck without restriction. The hood sits close to the skull to accommodate augmentation profiles underneath. Designed for layering over chrome and internal hardware rather than direct skin contact.
primary material	Laminated ballistic ripstop — a synthetic composite with woven reinforcement visible as subtle grid texture
texture	Smooth matte finish with a faint tactile ripple from the ripstop weave. The balaclava liner is softer, brushed on the interior. The flex-rubber grommets at the crown have a slightly rubbery grip. The split-channel seam is bonded and raised, creating a tactile ridge.
color scheme	Matte black base with subdued olive-green undertone that emerges under direct light or neon glow. No visible logos or patches — pure functional minimalism.
closures	None — designed as a pull-over hood. Attachment points are magnetic snap receptors at the collar for tactical rig integration, not closure.
distinctive features	Split-channel rear seam running crown to neck for spinal rig and dorsal chrome accommodation (up to 40mm profile) Reinforced horn slots at crown with bonded flex-rubber grommets Built-in balaclava liner that rolls down into collar for modular coverage Standard tactical plate carrier mounting points at collar Laminated ballistic ripstop construction visible as grid texture No branding — manufacturer confidence through design alone
tier indicator	Tier 3–4 functional. Priced for working security, enforcement, and street operators. Not entry-level Tier 5, but not corpo luxury Tier 1.
cultural context	Signals active security work, street enforcement, or augmentation-heavy lifestyle. Worn by those with spinal rigs, chrome dorsal work, or tactical coordination. Marks the wearer as someone who operates in gray zones—not corporate, not civilian, not underground.
condition typical	Typically appears broken-in but maintained. Light abrasions on the crown from repeated donning; the flex-rubber grommets show minor wear polish. No tears or patches — users replace before that threshold.

image prompt

Close-up fashion shot of a Thornback Tactical Hood worn by an augmented model in profile, revealing the split-channel rear seam and reinforced horn slots. Matte black ripstop catches faint neon glow (cyan and violet). Dark urban rooftop or Circuit Ward alley backdrop. Moody rim lighting emphasizes the hood's architectural geometry and the subtle olive undertone. Model's visible augmentation (chrome neck port, subdermal luminescence) contrasts with the hood's tactical utilitarianism. Sharp focus on texture and seaming. Cinematic, high-contrast neo-noir urban aesthetic. --ar 2:3 --v 6
