A7-D - Cold Jacket Advanced

I was issued this parka along with the pants for testing. Back then the parka didn't have the name tape or rank velcro but was otherwise the exact same. I credit this parka and pants to be the only reason I'm still alive after being stranded outside in -70 degrees Fahrenheit weather for over twelve hours. Hopefully I'll never experience cold like that again, but it's comforting to know what this cold weather gear is capable of.

I bought this jacket with the intent of being able to either wear this over an OCP uniform top and its size is exactly the kind of fit that I had hoped for! The Velcro is perfect for wearing the appropriate patches/name tapes/rank to avoid the good ol’ chewing out at a shoppette from a disgruntled Sergeant Major! Right out of the package it was very comfortable and it feels like you’re wearing a comfy insulated blanket! Thank you guys so much for such all around solid jacket!

Standing on an open flightline in 20 degree weather with high winds and I’ve never been warmer.

Absolute quality, from the moment you get it out of the box, you know it’s going to be great. I were it everyday and it doesn’t disappoint!

This is an amazing jacket! It is a true Level 7 ECWCS jacket created for the US military as part of their cold/extreme cold weather system. The jacket is built amazingly well. Remember that because this jacket is a part of a layering system, it is larger than normal and meant to fit over a base layer, a fleece top, and a soft shell fleece lined jacket, all of which Beyond clothing sells. This is the real deal! Highly recommended! 👍🏼
