Available directly from the source, these authentic Polartec fabrics and designs are shipped directly from the same US cut and sew manufacturers that have been creating these garments since 2007.

The foundation of the brand’s Gen III Extended Cold Weather Clothing System (ECWCS) is its Polartec Military Issue Collection. This ECWCS system provides soldiers with a multi-layered, performance driven clothing system that is designed to be versatile and adaptable to varying operational and environmental conditions.

For more than a decade there have been Gen III ECWCS labelled military garment designs for sale online and from select military retail stores. While some of these items are authentic surplus garments, it remains an unregulated grey area. Foreign imitations continue to pop up in their various forms, and even outdoor sporting and hunting brands have adopted military issue garment nomenclature into product descriptions.

Now available directly from the source, these authentic Polartec fabrics and designs are made in America and shipped directly from the same US cut and sew manufacturers that have been creating these garments since 2007.
