Mil-Tec ECWCS Wet Weather Gen. II Jacket with liner - Flecktarn

The jacket works great in unfavourable weather. It effectively protects against wind and rain, and the additional lining ensures warmth on colder days. The material seems durable and the whole item gives the impression of good quality. The style is comfortable and does not restrict movement, even when wearing several layers underneath. Functional pockets and the option to adjust the jacket to your liking are definite advantages. If you’re looking for a versatile jacket for walking outdoors and everyday use, I definitely recommend it.

Jacket bought on 01/12/2024 is well made, has practical, waterproof pocket zips. The fleece is warm, with slightly shorter sleeves than the jacket, which is an advantage – they don't get soaked in the rain. In my previous jacket, I had a problem with this. I have been through two winters in it and it's fine. :-) The only downside is the lack of a loop to hang up the jacket after removing the fleece – the hanger is only in the fleece. Overall, I recommend it.

I bought one of these jackets about a year ago, and while I like the jacket for warmth and comfort. The one I bought is not even a little bit waterproof, If I go out in the rain I am getting wet. Very dissapointing. So I'm now on the hunt for a waterproof jacket.

After 6 years of daily use with a Gen1 jacket (except in summer) while out walking the dog for about 10km, it was finally time for a new one. The wear and tear is absolutely normal. The jacket was always waterproof/windproof, nice and warm, and robust. My Malinois is not always gentle. Now I've received the Gen 2. And there actually seem to be some improvements. The pockets are more usable and now have zippers. The hood is bigger and adjustable. The inner fleece jacket appears unchanged. The fit is really good. I use XXL at 204 cm height and 113 kg. The only change: I added a drawcord to the lower hem of the jacket, just like I did with the Gen 1. Otherwise, the jacket flares out too much at the bottom. With the drawcord, it fits as snug at the bottom as a blouson. Perfect. I love this jacket. Hopefully it will last just as long again.

I've been using this jacket for two years and I have mixed feelings. Its camouflage pattern is very effective – it's practically invisible, even from 10 metres away in the right conditions. The spacious pockets and the option to detach the fleece lining, which can be worn separately, are big advantages. The two-way zip and underarm zips are also a plus. Unfortunately, most of the zips are stiff, which makes them difficult to operate with one hand. The jacket is suitable for temperatures between 0 and 20 degrees, which is quite a wide range. However, during intense activity, you sweat a lot, even without the lining. The waterproofing is rather poor, as is the breathability. The fleece lining is attached at the ends of the sleeves with only one snap, making it hard to take off. In practice, the poorly designed snap connecting the fleece to the outer layer at the hanging loop fell off within the first few months, and after two years the frequently used zip on the sleeve is failing and won't close.

I tried on the jacket after collecting it and returned it, immediately ordering a smaller size. I have the impression that the sizes are a bit larger than standard. The jacket itself feels solid, and the fleece lining also looks good. The weight is similar to the ECWSC USA gen.I (without lining), but this jacket is slightly longer. I liked it enough that I ordered a smaller size right away. I will keep trying until I find the right size ;-)

The jacket has been sewn solidly and has no faults or imperfections. Even after removing the insulation, it remains warm. The camouflage works excellently. The jacket is practical, has many spacious pockets, a high collar and a hood with a peak. A nice feature is the option to unzip the sides under the arms for ventilation. I recommend measuring yourself carefully before buying and checking the jacket sizes.

The jacket is great, very comfortable and of solid quality. I ordered a set in size XL (jacket and trousers). It has a warm lining, a practical hood and a high stand-up collar that protects your neck well from the wind. My measurements are 190 cm tall, 120 cm chest, 113 kg in weight and 101 cm waist.

The jacket is very nice, keeps you warm and has a high collar and hood. You can see it is well made and doesn't resemble cheap products from China. I recommend paying attention to the sizing – the sizes are not precise, the clothes are larger than the description suggests. I assumed they would be smaller and ordered 3XL (I am 113 kg, 190 cm tall, waist 102 cm, chest 120 cm), but the jacket turned out to be much too loose, as if I had put on a sheet or a bag like the Groke from the Moomins. Now I have chosen XL. I had the same problem with the trousers from this series – for 3XL the waist was actually too big, and even after tightening the strings, there was still a lot of slack, so I also ordered XL. The clothes are well made and will be great for photographing animals.

Good morning, I have this jacket, it looks great, I recommend it. However, I think the sleeves and zip fastening could be designed differently, as the current version is not very comfortable for me, although some people might like it. Personally, I'm not a fan of this solution and I have my own idea for improving the fastening. Despite this, I recommend it.

The jacket disappointed me a bit – for this price, the quality of workmanship leaves much to be desired. Nevertheless, it looks nice and is practical (the detachable fleece liner gives different options, so theoretically you can wear it all year round).

It looks good, the cut provides some comfort, it's effective in the rain and warm, but it's more of an imitation than a real jacket – suitable only for careful city use. The quality is very poor. I wouldn't decide to take it outdoors. Breathability is unfortunately just in theory. I give two stars for quality and durability, and one additional star for versatility during business trips – when an outfit matching a blazer is needed, as well as after work.

Great jacket, I decided to buy it at full price as a birthday present. The person who received it says it's very comfortable, and the included fleece is a big plus as you don't need to look for a separate liner. After a trip outdoors, I also heard a funny comment: "...I didn't feel at all under the jacket that I was sweating...", which shows the material is very breathable. In summary, the jacket is still being tested, but everything indicates that it's really worth considering.

It looks very good. Unfortunately, according to the size chart, S should be suitable for a person with a height of 174 cm and a chest circumference of 102 cm, but it is too small. I am currently waiting for size M.
