PRODUCT DETAIL

The Extended Cold Weather Clothing System (ECWCS) is a protective clothing system developed in the 1980s by the United States Army's Natick Soldier Research, Development, and Engineering Center, Natick, Massachusetts. The first-generation ECWCS consisted of a parka and pants, plus 20 other individual clothing items, coats, headgear, and footwear, used in various combinations to meet the U.S. Army's (and other) cold weather environmental requirements. The Extended Climate Warfighter Clothing System, or Gen III ECWCS, is designed to maintain adequate environmental protection at temperatures ranging from -60 to +40 degrees Fahrenheit (approximately -51 to +4 degrees Celsius).
