Who knew Gucci gear could be this comfy?

When it comes to cold weather gear, the Extended Cold Weather Clothing System (ECWCS) is some of the best your dollar can get. Designed to be functional for all kinds of activities and climates, special forces have been swearing by it's excellent seven-layer system since the early 2000s.

the US military contracted talented manufacturers with decades of experience such as Patagonia, Wild Things Gear, Massif, and a few others. Some of the designs were spun off and sold to civilians at outrageous prices, and often with reduced features and slightly impaired design — But this is the real deal.

This specific piece is the Level 7 Pants, the crown jewel of the layers you'll put on when you're really, really cold. Featuring PrimaLoft Sport thermal insulation (later replaced with another product called Climashield Apex), it blankets you in extra-cozy insulation that can't be beat. Meant to be used during static operations in the extreme cold, it keeps as much body heat in as possible to keep you warm. The outer shell is water-repellent, and the insulation even works soaking wet, meaning a dramatically decreased risk of hypothermia and little to no "soak in" like other garments. 

It additionally features nylon reinforced knees, full-length side zipper openings for easy donning and doffing without removing your boots, a rip-stop inner lining, and an elastic waistband with provisions for suspenders.

 

ECWCS/PCU

The protective combat uniform or PCU is a prominent, versatile, and fantastic bang-for-buck US surplus goldmine of incredibly useful clothing. You can read more about the rest of the system in an article here, and see an excellent use guide here.

Specs

  • Made in the USA
  • Water-resistant Nextec style no. 1161 outer shell
  • PrimaLoft Thermal high-loft insulation
  • Ripstop inner layer
  • Nylon reinforced knees
  • Zippered fly with hook and loop storm flap

    Sizing

    The sizing follows the US army's standardized sizing system, which will stay the same across all other uniform pieces you purchase. If you know your US Letter Pant size, that will typically work for the main size, but just in case, here's the sizing in waist circumference

    'Small' — 27"-31"
    'Medium' — 31"-35"
    'Large' — 35"-39"
    'X-Large'— 39"-43"
    '2X-Large'— 43"-47"

    For the length portion, this is mostly determined by your height.

    'Short' — 5'5" - 5'8"  (typically 29-30" inseam)

    'Regular' — 5'8" - 5'11"  (typically 32" inseam)
    'Long' — 5'11" - 6'2"  (typically 34" inseam)
    'Extra Long' — 6'3" - 6'6"

    A vast majority of people will choose the "regular" length, which changes slightly across garments to keep desired proportions. Taller folks with shorter legs may wish to stick with "regular" length as well. 

     

    Condition:
    Pants are in excellent condition with all hardware intact, and with no stains, blemishes, cuts, or tears on the pants.

    Marshmallow Luxury

    Ordered a large/long initially and they were massive on me. Medium/regular was the way to go. Normal pant size is a 33x32.

    As for performance, outstanding. Fit right over a normal pair of pants with ease. Comfortable inside the house which was a shocker and kept my legs toasty in -10 weather. Don't expect to sneak up on anyone though. They do swish a bit since they're so puffy. But if you need to be outside in serious cold for awhile these get the job done with ease.

    Get 1 size smaller

    They’re great in every aspect outside of the fit. The waistband stretches so you should be good with the size down. I’m 5’10 205lbs wear 32-34 pants and got a medium regular. The legs are like parachute pants.

    Ultimate in cold relief.

    Why have I spent most of my life so far without insulated pants? I bought these on a whim, being outside and thinking to myself. "Okay, this jacket and the many layers keep me warm here but my legs, wearing just jeans, still feel freaking cold." Saw this and ordered it. Tried it on in the cold and now I don't feel one bit of cold on my lap down to my ankles. You can even layer it, it's roomy yet fits well. Really the best, you need it if you're tired of feeling damn cold.

    Marshmallow pants

    These pants are really warm and KS has them at a great price. The pair I received still had all the tags and no wear so I couldn't be happier. I wear a 36x34 in pants and the Med Reg fit perfect over my clothes for anyone wondering about sizing.
