Mirroring the military’s ECWCS Gen 3 system, each level reflects a specific role in the layering process.
They're great for hot weather and pack to basically nothing
These are fantastic cold weather pants. The Cordura in the seat and knees is very tough, they will probably last a long time.
I love this thing. I was originally issued one of these but eventually outgrew it. Loved it so much that I bought a larger size out of my own pocket. Looks great, feels great, performs great. If beyond made this same thing in other colors, I’d get one of each!
I like the jacket. It’s definitely warm with the wind stopper material. But 1) not sure how durable it will be since it seems like it might tear if/when I’m walking in brush. 2) It’s also a bit noisier than I was hoping. It’s not loud like crunching leaves but it does produce a little noise when I’m moving bringing sights on target. Definitely more for firearms seasons rather than bow. I’m kind of knit picking because it is a very nice well made jacket, that isn’t bulky under a plate carrier. Definitely can be worn away from the AO on a day to day basis as well.
