*How does PrimaLoft®  Sport work?  PrimaLoft's fast drying properties and breathability make it the insulation of choice for any extreme condition.  It has been proven to be less water absorbing and warmer when wet or dry than competative insulation.  The incredibly think multi-diameter fibers give PrimaLoft Sport the soft, down-like feel that helps retain body warmth while being lightweight and compressible.  The patented mulit-diameter fibers won't absorb water so you will stay warm even when wet.

What is the ECWCS Generation III:  The third generation of the Extended Cold Weather Clothing System (ECWCS-III) is a radical re-design of the cold weather clothing system for the U.S. Army.  It is based on layering systems believed to be the most effective by mountaineering professionals and incorporates 7 layers of clothing.  Each piece fits and functions either alone or together as a layering system to provide the most effective options in the lightest weight possible to soldiers.  It is 33% more compressible, 25% lighter and is rated as significantly more comfortable.  It is more versatile and includes functional features that allow the Soldier to adapt to varying mission requirements and environmental conditions ranging between -40 to +60 degrees Fahrenheit.  The U.S. Army's 10th Mountain Division field tested 18,000 of the ECWCS-III systems in Afghanistan in the fall of 2006 with great reviews, hence it is the most current ECWCS system in the US Army to date.
