Extreme protection against freezing temperatures down to -40°F / -40°C.

The ECWCS Gen III Level 7 Set (Parka & Trousers) is the outer (shell) layer of the legendary U.S. Army Generation III Extended Cold Weather Clothing System. Designed for static operations, guard duty, and prolonged exposure during severe winter weather, this set is manufactured by Tennier Industries, an official prime contractor for the U.S. Military.

Featuring advanced Climashield® APEX insulation and a durable nylon outer shell in genuine Multicam pattern, this set delivers uncompromising warmth, durability, windproofing, and moisture protection.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Extreme Temperature Rating: When combined with base and mid layers (L1, L2, L3, L5), this system allows for comfortable, long-term static positioning in temperatures down to -40°F / -40°C.

• Hydrophobic APEX Insulation: Retains its excellent thermal properties even when 100% wet. The fibers efficiently repel external moisture while allowing body perspiration to escape.

• Highly Durable: Resists repeated laundering without losing its loft, structural integrity, or thermal insulation performance.

• Ultra-Packable: Highly compressible for easy storage in a patrol pack. It lofts and recovers its shape instantly upon unpacking.

ECWCS Gen III Level 7 Parka Features:

1. Deep Hood: Fully adjustable; easily rolls up and stows inside the collar with secure Velcro fastners.

2. Smart Pocket Configuration:

   • Two large external cargo pockets with YKK zippers. Inside the pockets are drawcords to adjust the bottom hem (allowing you to tighten the jacket without exposing your hands to the cold) and elastic gear loops to secure keys or small tools.

   • Two spacious internal mesh pockets designed to quickly dry or store gloves and a fleece watch cap.

3. Adjustable Cuffs: Hook-and-loop Velcro wrist closures seal out drafts and snow.

4. Reinforced Elbows: Features double-layer fabric reinforcement in high-wear areas.

5. ID Panels: Chest Velcro fields for attaching name tapes, rank, and unit patches.
