Description
This is a level 1, “silk weight”, thermal base layer that was used in the US Army. The base layer is moisture wicking, breathable and lightweight. It helps keep you warm and dry while moving around and sitting. The level 1 base layer is very durable and can be worn like compression clothing with it tight against your skin, or more loosely depending on your preference. The Gen III ECWCS design allows moisture to escape and at the same time has water-resistant properties.
Features:
- ECWCS Level 1 – The level 1 base layer is worn next to the skin and provides basic insulation and moisture wicking. This layer is highly breathable and is constructed with Polartec technology. Designed to wick away moisture, this layer is also highly breathable and the pieces dry very fast.
- Part Of The ECWCS Clothing System – This is part of the US Army Extended Cold Weather Clothing System that is used to protect the wearer from cold to extreme cold weather situations and environments.
- Moisture Wicking – Garment wicks away moisture which decreases drying time of the material and less soaking.

Fast and friendly service from Venture Surplus again. Great product, nearly perfect. The sleeves would need to be about an inch-and-a-half longer before I would be able to get my thumbs comfortably into the thumb holes. But as a tall, skinny guy I am used to things being just a little short. I don’t think I would use the thumb holes very much anyway.
