Generation III Level 3 ECWCS Fleece Jacket

The Gen III Level 3 ECWCS Fleece Jackets are designed to work seamlessly with the Extreme Cold Weather Clothing System. Whether you're a military professional, an outdoor enthusiast who loves hiking, camping, skiing, off - roading, or just someone who ventures into the wilderness, these high - quality fleece jackets are your perfect cold - fighting companions. Crafted from super soft and warm polar fleece fabric, they effectively trap body heat. The full - front zipper that extends through the collar creates a turtleneck - like design, offering extra neck protection. Reinforced nylon patches at the neck, shoulders, and elbows enhance durability and warmth. The jackets feature gridded side and armpit panels for excellent breathability, preventing overheating during strenuous activities. These 100% polar fleece jackets can be worn alone in fall and spring or as a liner for other extreme - weather jackets. Each jacket has two lined hand pockets for comfort and two interior mesh pockets for extra storage. Elastic cuffs keep the warmth in and the wind out, and there are loop fields on both sides for name and rank badges.

Using this fleece jacket is easy. You can wear it alone during milder seasons like fall and spring. In extremely cold weather, simply layer it under a softshell jacket or parka. When you're out doing activities like jogging or chopping wood, the breathable panels will keep you cool. Be careful not to snag the jacket on sharp objects, especially around the nylon patches. For maintenance, machine - wash it in cold water with a gentle detergent. Tumble dry on low to keep the fleece soft and fluffy. After drying, check the zipper and elastic cuffs to make sure they're in good condition.
