Mil-Tec ECWCS Wet Weather Gen.II Fleece Jacket - Woodland

The second-generation ECWCS waterproof light jacket in woodland camouflage is made from a three-layer laminate, guaranteeing excellent protection against wind and water. The material simultaneously allows vapour to pass through, reducing the risk of overheating during intensive exertion.

The outer layer of the light jacket consists of 96% polyester with a 3% addition of elastane. The interior of the jacket is equipped with a breathable polyurethane membrane. Under the jacket, there is a detachable, warm fleece liner, making it suitable not only for spring and autumn but also for winter. The winter character of the Wet Weather Jacket model is confirmed by a snow skirt that prevents snow from entering under the jacket.

The model features seven pockets:
- two large hip pockets with waterproof zips,
- two sleeve pockets with velcro and waterproof zips,
- a large pocket in the back lining fastened with velcro,
- two side pockets with zips in the liner.

The jacket is closed with a two-way YKK® zipper, additionally secured with a double strip. Ventilation openings under the armpits with zips are used for better air circulation.

The high collar and hood effectively protect the head and neck from the cold and wind. Cuffs with velcro fastenings allow for adjustment and fitting to the wrist. All seams in the outer jacket are taped.

Woodland, also known as U.S. Woodland or M81, is a classic camouflage pattern introduced to the US Armed Forces in the early 1980s, based on the earlier ERDL camouflage. For over two decades, it remained the standard pattern used by the US military until the end of the first decade of the 21st century. It is characterized by large, irregular patches in shades of green, brown, beige, and black, which provide good camouflage and deformation properties, especially in wooded areas. Thanks to its effectiveness and global recognition, it has spawned numerous variations that have found their way into over 60 uniform formations around the world. The pattern has also had a huge impact on popular culture, shifting from military applications to everyday fashion.
