The Level 2 layer from the Gen III ECWCS system is the warmth thermal layer to help ensure you stay dry. It’s the light thermal top that goes over your base layer and under your fleece or shell. Wear it by itself on a cool morning, or put it under everything when it gets cold. The color Tan 499 is Army OCP and Coyote is a popular pick for layering with Marine Corps gear.
The grid holds warm air against you when you’re standing still and lets heat out when you start moving, so you don’t sweat through it. There’s a little stretch in the fabric so it fits under your other layers without bunching up.
The collar zips up into a turtleneck when the wind picks up. Thumbholes keep the sleeves from riding up under your gloves and jacket. The fabric is treated with Microban to cut down on odor, so you can wear it a few days in the field. A great overall winther thermal piece to have in your layer system for any use.
