Protective Combat Uniform (PCU)
This jacket is part of the US Protective Combat Uniform (PCU) system that came to be in 2002. The PCU system is divided into seven layers that are combined with each other to protect against various weather conditions. The basic philosophy is that air trapped between layers of clothing will create the best form of insulation. It is not necessary to wear all seven layers at the same time. You pick and choose those that you need.
Level 6 (L6) includes the hardshell jacket and pants. They go on top of everything in rainy, sleety, shitty weather. Underneath you can add other layers depending on how cold it is.
Features
- Non-removable hood with a drawcord
- Zipper closure with a protective Velcro flap
- Waterproof armpit ventilation zippers
- Two zippered front pockets with a double flap
- Drawcord adjustment at the bottom of the jacket
- Velcro adjustment at the sleeves
This lightweight and packable Gore-Tex jacket is designed for highly aerobic activities. It is made by laminating multiple layers of Gore-Tex, providing the thinnest layer and maximum strength. The result is a breathable, lightweight jacket that provides durable waterproof and windproof protection with improved next-to-skin comfort. Well, as breathable as a hardshell can be. It reduces the build-up of underlayer condensation during and after periods of high-intensity activity.
Materials
This jacket is made from 100% Nylon and it has a genuine Gore-Tex membrane.
Size info
You can get any size you want, as long as it is X-Large. And there are twice as many length options, both Regular and Long. Sizing is quite ample because you are supposed to put this on top of your other clothes. So, if you normally wear XL and want to be nekkid under this, it will be a tent.
Condition
Unissued US military surplus. These haven’t seen any wars or exercises, just some huge ass warehouse. So they are in very good condition. Beyond makes some of their stuff in some galaxy far, far away. However, these jackets are made in the land of the free and would cost craploads normally.
