Description
This is a PCU level 7 Parka, Type I. It’s similar to the standard ECWCS level 7 gear, but just a little better because the people using it were specialer. The parka is meant to be worn over other layers of the same size and is a little oversized when worn as is. The hood can be removed from collar with a zipper. The parka has two insulated zippered pockets. Also, this insulated parka stays warm even when wet. The parka is wind and water resistant. This is a great high loft parka for extended static wear in extreme cold conditions.
Features:
- Removable Hood – Comes with a hood that can be completely removed from the jacket.
- Jacket Drawstring – This jacket has a drawstring at the waist that can be tightened or loosened. This helps the wear regulate the warmth and comfort of the jacket.
- Adjustable Sleeve Cuffs – Sleeves have either a button or hook and loop adjustable cuff for fit and wear.
- Water Resistant – It can be exposed to water for a short period of time without being damaged or saturated with water. Generally not recommended to submerge Water Resistant items unless item is made for that level of exposure.
- Wind Resistant – This is wind resistant which means that it helps break the wind and keep the wearer warmer.
- ECWCS Level 7 – This level consists of a high loft insulated parka and trousers set that are for wear in extreme cold conditions while static. The parka and trousers are wind and water resistant and meant to be worn as the outer most layer in dry (non wet weather conditions, snow on the ground is ok) environments where movement is limited.
- SOF-PCU – Part of the 7 levels of the Protective Combat Uniform used by Special Operations Forces across the US Military. Levels are similar to the standard ECWCS system.
