Summary
| Description |
Provides Soldiers a multi-layered, versatile insulating system adaptable to varying operational and environmental conditions. The Generation III Extended Cold Weather Clothing System (GEN III ECWCS) allows the Soldier to adapt to varying mission requirements and environmental conditions. Utilized materials offer a greater range of breathability and environmental protection, providing greater versatility in meeting Soldiers' needs. GEN III ECWCS utilizes an innovative design that reduces bulk; it takes up 33 percent less space and weights 25 percent less that its predecessor systems. Each piece of GEN III ECWCS functions either alone or in concert with other components as a system. This provides more options for the Soldier and enables seamless integration with load-bearing equipment and body armor configurations. The Gen III ECWCS design allows moisture to escape and at the same time has water-resistant properties. GEN III ECWCS is a 12-piece kit that enables Soldiers to utilize seven different layers, depending on the mission and environment. The system functions through insulation, layering and ventilation. Insulation resists the transmission of heat, traps air and wicks moisture away from the body. Layering increases air space and allows easy adjustment to a Soldier's activity level. Ventilation allows moisture to escape. By mixing and matching Gen III ECWCS components, Soldiers can protect themselves from temperatures ranging from 40 degrees Fahrenheit to minus 60 degrees Fahrenheit.
