Special Forces Polartec® PCU LVL 1 Thermal Pants
The PCU system emphasizes durability and functionality and has been described as the best cold weather clothing system ever developed.
This is the same pants worn by the United States Army Special Forces.
Size: Small/Regular
Level 1: Anti-Odor Performance, durable, silkweight Polartec Power Dry fabric worn next to the skin wicks away moisture and dries fast. Built for comfort and minimal weight. Pulls moisture directly from the skin and transfers it to the outer surface to quickly dissipate. This continuous evaporation process helps to keep you cool (as your body heat increases) and warm (when temperatures begin to drop).
When combined with the other levels of the PCU system, this garment collection offers the wearer less weight and bulk of traditional military clothing, and enables them to customize the uniform to meet the varying demands of each mission. The PCU is currently fielded to U.S. Special Forces users located in the world's most hostile environments.
