Mil-Tec ECWCS Wet Weather Gen.II Fleece Jacket - Phantomleaf WASP I Z1B

The second-generation ECWCS waterproof jacket is made of a three-layer laminate that provides effective protection against wind and water. At the same time, the fabric is vapor-permeable, which reduces the risk of overheating during activities that require increased exertion.

The jacket's outer layer is made of 96% polyester with 4% elastane. A breathable polyurethane membrane is placed inside. Under the jacket there is a detachable, warm fleece liner. Thanks to the liner, the jacket can be worn not only in fall and spring, but also in winter. The Wet Weather model features a snow apron to prevent snow from getting under the jacket.

The jacket is equipped with seven pockets:
- two large hip pockets with waterproof zipper,
- two Velcro pockets on the sleeve with waterproof zipper,
- a large pocket with Velcro closure in the liner at the back,
- two side zippered pockets in the liner.

The jacket is fastened with a two-way YKK zipper, which has been additionally secured with a double strap. Air circulation is supported by underarm vents, closed with zippers.

The high collar and hood effectively protect the head and neck from the cold and wind. The cuffs are fastened with velcro, which makes it possible to adjust their size and fit the thickness of the user's wrist. All the seams in the outer jacket are glued.

WASP I is an innovative line of PHANTOMLEAF® CIV-TEC® camouflage patterns designed specifically for MIL-TEC®. PHANTOMLEAF® camouflage patterns are created through advanced digital image analysis of the terrain in which the variant is designed to provide camouflage. The algorithm used also takes motion and other variables into account, making the patterns well adaptive over a wide range of conditions. At the same time, PHANTOMLEAF® camouflages are distinctive enough to guarantee good identification of "friend or foe" within a group of soldiers on the battlefield. 

The WASP I Z1B variant will work best in rocky areas with low vegetation cover, such as tundra or parts of mountains above the tree line. It will also find use in those cities and industrial sites where concrete and steel structures predominate. It also retains its effectiveness with partial snow cover.
