Если уж заговорили про спировский флис...
У меня вопрос. Что носили SEALs до появления PCU? ECWCS II поколения?

Год, огласите год сэр.

Первый проскакивает с периодичностью, искать нужно более шире т.е часто называют не правильно.

По направлению могу одно посоветовать, собирай то , что нравится иначе смысл теряется ... Имхо.


Хопс не подбивай под 202, это большая потеря времени и денег, не говоря о удобстве снаряжения в игровом плане.

До OEF.
Когда все еще в вудланде бегали.

З.Ы. Вот хавг на 2005

межсезонье впереди, думаю выловлю

я в другой теме прочитал, ты лягуху хочешь отрисовать?

До эпохи вторжения рационано и обоснованно использование спир, с года этак 2002-2003 появился всеми любимый ПКУ, флис там убогий, про эквэкс тем более ген 2 могу только необоснованное ни на чем сделать заявление, зачем он им???

According to Chan, some previous efforts under LEP resulted in development of a cold weather “clothing suite” around the 1996 period. Describing it as a black fleece jacket with several different commercial types of undergarments, he noted that it was far superior to anything that had been fielded to that date.

“Well, the bottom line was when they got into Afghanistan and really went up to elevations, it wasn’t enough,” he said. “Guys were calling us up, literally from foxholes on a satellite phone, saying, ‘You guys have got to work on the clothing system because we’re cold, wet, and that isn’t good.’ So we took that information and developed a new, next-generation cold weather clothing suite called ‘Protective Combat Uniform’ (PCU).”

PCU и есть результат SPEAR. Т.е. с 96 года до 2004 бедные операторы носили только флисовую кофту??? Ну тогда да, понятно, чего они плакались "we’re cold, wet, and that isn’t good". Я б тоже уарал.

The first area, Lightweight Environmental Protection (LEP), includes clothing, handwear, and footwear required for cold weather operations.

According to Chan (program manager), some previous efforts under LEP resulted in development of a cold weather “clothing suite” around the 1996 period. Describing it as a black fleece jacket with several different commercial types of undergarments, he noted that it was far superior to anything that had been fielded to that date.

“Well, the bottom line was when they got into Afghanistan and really went up to elevations, it wasn’t enough,” he said. “Guys were calling us up, literally from foxholes on a satellite phone, saying, ‘You guys have got to work on the clothing system because we’re cold, wet, and that isn’t good.’ So we took that information and developed a new, next-generation cold weather clothing suite called ‘Protective Combat Uniform’ (PCU).”

Crediting the 300-weight fleece fabric in the 1996 cold weather clothing suite with many performance advantages over any previously-fielded material, Chan acknowledged that it was “a bit on the heavy side” and “did not compress well, making it difficult to deploy on some missions.

“So with the PCU we’re taking all the latest, current materials that are now available,” he explained. “We’re taking new generation fleeces that compress to about half the size and are actually warmer and wick moisture better than that original 300 weight Polartec®. So, instead of being five or 10 years behind the commercial power curve, we are now neck and neck with the commercial power curve in terms of introducing new materials.

Думаю эквэкс это результат спира
