PCU kit

SINN · October 28th, 2008, 15:40

Level 5 is a step up from just wind breaking. Level 4 windshirts are designed for that. Level 5 PCU/MCU actually does breath but also allows a little more warmth. Combine the level 5 with level 3 thermals and you are actually super toasty!

Here is a quick breakdown:

Level-1,Silk Weight boxers, t-shirts, pants and long sleeve shirt
Level-2, Mid weight PowerDry,shirt and pants
Level-3, ThermalPro pullover
Level-4, Windshirt which is windproof.
Level-5, Softshell jacket and pants (wind proof and water resistant)
Level-6, Hardshell Polyurethane coated jacket and pants
Level-7, Insulated jacket pants and vest...but keeps you looking like mr. staypuff

This past weekend, i wore a level 5 PCU top with level 2 and 3 under. I was sweating when it was cold! I brought my level 6 rainjacket, but decided I didnt need it since it doesnt breath and we were running around. The water just beaded off of the PCU just fine.

Yeah wore my pcu on that day too.My inside's was DRY.Well worth the buy.

The game on Sunday, my setup was a Under Armour wicking shirt as Base with the BDU as the heat layer and PCU for rain and wind protection.

This combo makes the heat level an acceptable tolerance without heat stroking to death.

Only problem is after years of use my ORC PCU is so old that it has lost its Water resistant capabilities. ghetto got to buy me a new one

Protective Combat Uniform (PCU) system

Is there a name for the colour of those PCU's? Ranger Green? Foliage Green? Sage Green?

I've been rocking the civilian counterpart to the PCU (with my BDU jacket as the top layer where applicable) but I like the look and increased function of the real thing.

ex · November 13th, 2008, 09:36

It's called "Alpha Green".

FYI from a function perspective, the clones don't hold a candle to the real deal. Like, not even close.
