Designed for the U.S. Army as part of the Extended Cold Weather Clothing System (ECWCS) Generation 1, this GORE-TEX® parka is built to withstand harsh conditions while keeping the wearer dry and comfortable. Engineered for waterproof and breathable performance, the Gen 1 parka serves as an outer shell in the ECWCS layering system, providing essential protection against wind, rain, and snow.
Its non-freezing zippers, storm flaps, and snow skirt make it an excellent choice for extreme cold weather, while the zippered underarm vents allow for temperature regulation during physical activity. The oversized hood and adjustable cuffs enhance its adaptability in various conditions. Originally developed for military personnel, this parka has become a favorite among outdoor enthusiasts, survivalists, and anyone needing a rugged, all-weather outer layer.
Whether worn alone or paired with an ECWCS Polartec fleece liner, this U.S.-made parka remains a tried-and-true piece of military gear.
