“Heaven is under our feet as well as over our heads.”

-Henry David Thoreau, Walden

Here is a brief overview of the Gen I and Gen II ECWCS Parkas, and why I prefer the GEN I over the others for daily use.

What jacket is Gabriel wearing? Beyond Clothing jacket

The Marine Corps grid fleece is designed to be used as part of the Extended Cold Weather Clothing System (ECWCS) and offers flexibility, warmth, comfort, and fast drying in colder conditions. This quality warming layer has thumb loops in the cuff and quarter zip. Made in the USA and used by US Marines.

The parka has an integral hood, two breast inside map pockets (which can be opened without unzipping the parka), two large lower cargo pockets, an upper left sleeve pocket with a tape fastener closure flap and a two-way, full-front zipper to provide full face protection, leaving only the eyes uncovered. The underarms have a "pit zip" zippered fastener to provide ventilation under the arms. The parka is fully lined with a wind skirt, elastic drawcords at the waist and hem, and a nylon woven tape drawcord with barrel locks at the hood. Nylon woven tape is also used for the neck hanger loop. Nylon hook and pile fastener tapes are located at the wrist tabs to allow for adjustment. Snap fasteners are located at the Insignia tab along the full front closure on the overlay of the slide fastener, on the windskirt and pockets.

The parka hood was modified to interface with an attachable synthetic fur ruff.

The trousers have seat and knee patches, pass-through pockets, and gusseted leg openings to allow easy donning and doffing without removing the boots. The trousers have an elastic drawcord with barrel lock at the waist. Nylon hook and pile fastener tapes are located at the ankle tabs to allow for adjustment. Slide fasteners are located on the legs and front fly. The trousers have nylon tape suspender loops. Snap fasteners are located above the front fly slide fastener and on the pockets.
