Got one of those just sitting in the closet. What's your honest opinion on the jacket? Worth the money? Or is there a better jacket for colder temperatures in the same price range? They gave me one to wear. I bought my own, better shell in UCP instead. Bound to get flamed by some...but what exactly gives the impression this would be a good jacket to buy in the first place? My honest first reaction was, "Wait has this guy completely missed the past 100 years of lowest bidder jokes directed at gov't acquisitions, and the last 10 years of evidence that UCP is effective in zero environments (beyond gravel pits and ugly couches of course)?" The ECWCS shell itself...as pictured...is not for colder temperatures at all. Its a shell. Meant to stop water and wind. Nothing else. It is only effective for warmth in that you won't be wet or feel the breeze. Actual insulation has to be provided by another piece. There are a million better jackets out there, and there are certainly better patterns if it is camo you are wanting. |
