In the late 1980s and early 1990s, the U.S. military issued a specialized cold-weather glove designed to protect soldiers in wet, freezing conditions while maintaining dexterity. These gloves, officially cataloged under the National Stock Number (NSN) series 8415-01-110-XXXX, were part of the first-generation Extended Cold Weather Clothing System (ECWCS). Today, finding a pair in good condition—especially in the classic woodland M81 camouflage—is rare, making them both a functional piece of gear and a collectible artifact.
