Product Description
Overview
The ECWCS system, or Extended Cold Weather Clothing System, is a clothing system specifically designed to provide users with protection against cold temperatures. This standard was developed in 1980 by the United States Army Natick Soldier Research, Development and Engineering Center, Natick, Massachusetts. There are 3 generations of such clothing systems, developed over the years based on needs.
Description
The Helikon-Tex ECWCS Gen.2 jacket is part of the Generation 2 ECWCS clothing system. It is made from various types of synthetic materials that offer protection against moisture and the ability to retain heat. The waterproof capability is measured at 10000mm water column, while the materials used also allow for efficient ventilation with a capacity of 5000g/m2/24h.
Functionality
As a military uniform, the jacket is equipped with many useful pockets. Specifically, there are two interior pockets in the chest area, four hand pockets at the bottom with lateral and top access, and two arm pockets.
The elbow area features a reinforced section, very useful against wear. On the chest and arms, there are Velcro sections for attaching badges or patches. The waist size can be adjusted. Additionally, there is an interior section around the waist designed to retain warm air generated by the body while preventing cold air from the outside or other elements that may lower the internal temperature.
To prevent excessive heat accumulation, the jacket is equipped with zippered ventilation openings in the underarm area. To provide complete protection, the jacket comes with a hood that can be packed into the collar, saving space. The sleeves are adjustable, contributing to internal heat retention and better maneuverability of the arms.
The zippers used are made by YKK, recognized as some of the most durable zippers on the market.
