ADS Clothing Programs represent large-scale, broad-reaching operational and tactical initiatives, providing necessary clothing layering systems and kits to keep our military efficient and effective.
GEN III ECWCS | The U.S. Army Extended Climate Warfighter Clothing System
ADS is currently under contract with the U.S. Army to source and integrate GEN III ECWCS.
As the lead integrator, ADS utilizes our unparalleled product expertise and cutting edge distribution operations to lead a team of over ten U.S. technical garment manufacturers and technical textile companies to produce and supply the versatile 7-layer, 12-component system. The only official GEN III ECWCS authorized for U.S. Army Issue is available exclusively through ADS.
GEN III ECWCS is a radical re-design of previous generation ECWCS for the U.S. Army. No longer just a Cold Weather Clothing System, the third generation ECWCS has been transformed into an Extended Climate Warfigher Clothing System that enhances soldier survivability across broad climate ranges.
FREE | The U.S. Army Fire Resistant Environmental Ensemble

FREE provides the Army soldier with built-in protection from flame and heat threats present in combat conditions, while remaining highly functional in a spectrum of cold and wet weather climates. The FREE system is user-adaptable for field operations in rapidly evolving combat environments and protects the soldier from head to toe. It is designed specifically for aviation and combat vehicle crewmen, and utilizes advanced textile technologies in a range of garments, from lightweight base layers to weather-protecting outerwear.
PCU | Protective Combat Uniform
ADS is the premier provider of the Beyond U.S. Special Operations Command Custom PCU Cold Weather Layering System.
PCU is designed to provide a broad level of environmental protection and withstand the harshest environments on earth. Each piece fits and functions either alone, or when used in the system, to provide the most options and highest possible performance.
NBS7 | New Balance System 7
Introducing the New Balance System 7 (S7) Fire Retardant Cold Weather clothing system available through ADS.
By using innovative FR materials and technologies, this multi-layered cold weather clothing system was designed to provide environmental and flame protection keeping soldiers comfortable, dry, warm and safe in inclement weather.
All operational and tactical clothing systems provided by ADS, Inc. are designed to keep the military efficient and effective overseas. ADS, Inc. is under contract with the U.S. Army to source and integrate two clothing systems, the GEN III ECWCS and FREE. Both military tactical clothing systems contain multiple layers and components produced by several technical garment manufacturers.
The GEN III ECWCS is the next step up in protection from GEN II and is designed to be more than cold weather clothing. As an extended climate warfighter clothing system, GEN III has seven layers and a 12 component system. FREE, the Fire Resistant Environmental Ensemble, uses a 16 layer system designed to protect the wearer from flame and heat threats in combat. Both tactical clothing systems are designed to be functional in cold and wet climates, as well.
Aside from military tactical clothing, other gear offered by ADS, Inc. for such missions includes operational and tactical equipment, such as the Escalation of Force (EOF) kit. ADS worked with Rapid Equipping Force to bring several EOF parts together that were developed to avoid unnecessary casualties and to protect soldiers while abroad or at home. ADS, Inc. provides other kits, as well, for similar purposes, such as the Marine Individual Assault Kit (MIAK) and the Modern Army Combatives Kit (MACK).
