This is a level 6 jacket that is a part of ECWCS. The water and wind proof coat is worn as an outer layer to protect the wear, typically one or two thermal layers are worn underneath. The zip up jacket has a stow-able and adjustable hood. The cuffs and waist are adjustable to keep the elements out and there are pass through pockets on the jacket. Elbow Patches are plain weave Nylon Reinforced Cloth
There is a spot for rank sleeves on the chest. This is a great outer layer jacket for cold days outside and when worn with thermal layers keeps the wearer warm all day.
This jacket is not heavily insulated -- it is meant to serve as a hard-shell wind/moisture barrier jacket, on top of other insulated layers (Level 1-2-3).
The Gen 3 Layer 6 Jacket in MultiCam is seam sealed through every stitch line, making it the package deal. The seam sealing process waterproofs and wind-proofs the jacket while still ensuring breathability. This jacket is designed to take on moderate cold and wet conditions.
The Gen 3 Level 6 is the hard-shell layer of your ECWCS and acts as the water barrier.
