Base Layer: Worn next to skin by itself or in conjunction with other levels for added insulation and to aid in the transfer of moisture.

The GEN III Mid-Weight Shirt and Drawers provide light insulation in mild climates and serve as a base layer in cold climates.

Constructed with Polartec® Power Dry® grid material, this layer provides extra warmth in cooler conditions but still wicks moisture away and dries fast. The material offers stretch for increased comfort and is lighter weight with less bulk than previous systems.

Features:

  • Constructed with Polartec® Power Dry® Grid material
  • Provides extra warmth and stays dry in cool weather
  • Highly breathable, fast drying next-to-skin layer
  • Moisture wicking for evaporative cooling in mild climates
  • Significantly lighter with less bulk than previous ECWCS
  • Thumb holes aid in donning multiple layers
  • Reduced chaffing and increased comfort during movement
  • Mid-chest zipper converts to a mock turtleneck with throat protection
  • Contoured long tail for additional protection from the elements
  • Drawers have an elastic waistband and access fly
  • Color: Desert Sand

Level II: Mid-Weight Shirt & Drawers

How Does Polartec® Power Dry® Work?

Polartec Power Dry
Polartec Power Dry
  1. Moisture and high relative humidity next to the skin causes discomfort. Polartec® Power Dry® keeps the skin dry through three complimentary mechanisms:
  2. The fabric is highly breathable and does not restrict the movement of moisture vapor.
  3. “Touch points“ on the fabric’s inner surface draw off the sweat. Sweat is wicked off the skin to the outside of the fabric where it spreads rapidly for evaporation. Polartec® Power Dry® fabrics move at least 30% more moisture away from the skin than single component fabrics.
  4. When the sweat reaches the outside of the fabric, it spreads out to many times its original surface area, enabling it to dry at least 2 times faster than cotton.

GEN III Level II clothing is designed as a base layer. Worn next to the skin, Layer II can be worn by itself or with other layers for insulation or to aid in the transfer of moisture. Layer II ECWCS provides moderate insulation in mild climates and is also used as a base layer in cold climates. Made from Polartec Power Dry grid material, GEN III Layer II wicks moisture away from the skin and dries fast. Additionally, the material stretches to offer the user comfort and to reduce chaffing and is less bulky than previous ECWCS clothing systems.
