We’ve thoroughly tested the ECWCS (Extreme Cold Weather Clothing System) Gen III Level 7 Military Parka Jacket & Trousers and would recommend it to anyone living in cold climates. It’s warm but it’s so light and compressible that it’s a perfect addition to your winterized bug out bag. The parka would also make a valuable addition to a winter car emergency kit as well.

WARMTH Incredibly lightweight and warm: with “Primaloft” high-loft insulation known to retain its insulating properties even when wet.

FEATURES Water resistant outer shell, Nylon reinforced knees and elbows, and a high collar with collapsible stow-able insulated hood.

QUALITY These Official US Army items are current issued. If it’s good enough for US Military soldiers in extreme cold combat settings then it’s perfect for a bug out bag!
