Description
Defective jackets do NOT include hoods.
If you’ve got this far after staring at all that AOR camo, good on you. This is a PCU Level 7 jacket in some very neat digital camo. These jackets are designed for use in static extreme cold weather situations. If it’s not well below freezing and you find yourself doing a lot of work while wearing this you’re going to heat up very quickly. The jacket has zippered waist pockets and on the inside there are two mesh zippered pockets as well. Hand warmers will fit easily in these pockets. New and Used condition jackets will include a removable hood, on the Defect ones they had already been removed. I blame the mermaids and mermen. When the hood is there you can tighten it down to help keep out the wind with elastic drawstrings. The jacket has a sturdy zipper and the cuffs are adjustable as well. These jackets are oversized and meant to be worn over other thick layers. If you are planning on wearing it standalone or over a light layer go a size down. Otherwise your normal size will do and leave plenty of room for layers underneath. The outer of the jacket is water resistant and mostly windproof, these jackets are not recommended for wear in extended wet conditions. The down type insulation is light and the jacket can be compressed down a bit for easier storage. If you live in the South it’s good for the two days a year when it gets really cold and if you live in Alaska go ahead and grab two. The bears and moose(s) will get jealous of how warm you are and steal one.

Features:
- ECWCS Level 7 – This level consists of a high loft insulated parka and trousers set that are for wear in extreme cold conditions while static. The parka and trousers are wind and water resistant and meant to be worn as the outer most layer in dry (non wet weather conditions, snow on the ground is ok) environments where movement is limited.
- Two Way Zipper – Zipper includes two pulls allowing the user to open and close the zipper at different areas.
- Insulated Pockets – Pockets are insulated for extra protection and warmth in the cold.
- Internal Pockets – Has Pockets on the inside for small items.
- Jacket Drawstring – This jacket has a drawstring at the waist that can be tightened or loosened. This helps the wear regulate the warmth and comfort of the jacket.
- Oversized Clothing – This clothing item is oversized to fit over gear worn on the torso or other gear and clothing worn beneath. FOR Tops and Bottoms it is recommended that you order a size smaller than you are unless you intend to wear body armor or bulky gear underneath.
- Water Resistant – It can be exposed to water for a short period of time without being damaged or saturated with water. Generally not recommended to submerge Water Resistant items unless item is made for that level of exposure.
- Adjustable Sleeve Cuffs – Sleeves have either a button or hook and loop adjustable cuff for fit and wear.
- Wind Resistant – This is wind resistant which means that it helps break the wind and keep the wearer warmer.

- SOF-PCU – Part of the 7 levels of the Protective Combat Uniform used by Special Operations Forces across the US Military. Levels are similar to the standard ECWCS system.
