U.S. Military ECWCS Gen III Level 3 Polartec® Fleece Jacket
Experience the pinnacle of military insulation with the genuine U.S. Army issue ECWCS Gen III Level 3 Polartec® Fleece Jacket. This isn't just a fleece; it's a critical component of the military's Extended Cold Weather Clothing System, designed to provide exceptional warmth without the bulk, making it the ultimate mid-layer fleece for any outdoor activity.
Advanced Fabric Technology
At the heart of this jacket is the advanced Polartec® Thermal Pro® fabric. This 100-weight fleece is engineered to trap air and retain body heat, providing incredible insulation while remaining lightweight and breathable. It effectively wicks moisture away from the body to keep you dry during exertion and dries quickly if it gets wet, making it far superior to older fleece technologies.
Battlefield-Ready Design
Designed for incredible versatility, this jacket serves as a perfect standalone outer layer in cool, dry conditions or as a comfortable mid-layer under a waterproof shell when the weather turns. Durable nylon reinforcements on the shoulders, collar, and elbows protect against wear from pack straps and equipment. Two outer hand-warmer pockets and two massive internal mesh pockets provide ample storage, while hook-and-loop fields on the chest allow for name, rank, and unit insignia.

I jumped the Gun when I reviewed the 5pc Load Carrier giving it only 3 stars because I could not adjust the size. Forest City showed me how to do it with a video. The last load carrier I had worn was the Vietnam Era LCE/LBE.
Thank You Forest City for another Great Product!
Very fair price for a sleep system in great condition, used it the next day to sleep outside below freezing on a camping trip. Performed just like I remember from the Army. Thanks for a great buy!
This is a great service offered by Forest City Supply; the ability to select the grade of your items. I have ordered the same poncho liners from Sportsman Guide for the price of Very Good grade, just to return the liner due to holes and tears. The Good Grade liners make fine dust covers for your spare beds. I am very pleased with my purchase.
It's exactly what it was supposed to be. I needed something to fix my ICS seams where the tape has peeled off. I haven't used the sealant yet but I'll more than likely be buying another complete repair kit just in case I need it and don't have it.
