These Level 6 extreme cold and wet weather pants were used by the U.S. Army as part of their Extended Cold Weather Clothing System (ECWCS). Worn over other cold weather layers or uniforms, these waterproof pants offer excellent protection in harsh conditions. The pants feature zippered cuffs halfway up the pant leg, allowing the wearer to easily put them on or take them off while wearing boots or other layers. They also have reinforced knees for added durability and two waist pockets with hook-and-loop flap closures. These pants are ideal for outdoor use when a hard shell layer is needed for protection against the elements.
