US Army Gen 3 Level 3 ECWCS Coyote Tan-499 High-Loft Fleece Jacket - Used

US Army Gen 3 Level 3 ECWCS Coyote Tan-499 High-Loft Fleece Jacket - Used

The US Army Gen 3 Level 3 ECWCS High-Loft Fleece Jacket is a heavy-duty thermal insulation garment engineered for the United States Armed Forces as a primary insulative mid-layer within the Generation III Extended Cold Weather Clothing System (ECWCS). Designed to provide maximum warmth-to-weight ratio during operations in sub-freezing and alpine environments, this jacket functions exceptionally well as a standalone outer garment in mild weather or as a secondary thermal layer under hardshell wet-weather jackets.

Constructed from plush, high-loft synthetic thermal fleece (Polartec® Thermal Pro® or equivalent), this garment creates deep dead-air thermal pockets that trap body heat while allowing excess moisture to vent during high-exertion rucking or field maneuvers. To optimize range of motion and breathability, the jacket features stretch-grid fleece side panels along the torso and underarms that increase airflow and prevent heat buildup. It is finished in official military Coyote Tan-499 and features reinforced nylon paneling across the high-wear shoulder and elbow areas to withstand abrasion from tactical vest straps, plate carriers, and rucksack harnesses.

In Used / Field-Serviceable condition, this fleece jacket is 100% operational, thoroughly cleaned, and structurally sound. Sourced directly from U.S. military surplus turn-ins, expect standard signs of prior deployment—such as minor cosmetic fleece matting, light surface scuffs, or soldier identification markings on interior tag blocks. Every garment is hand-inspected to ensure the full-length main zipper operates smoothly, all pocket zippers seal, the grid side panels retain stretch memory, and the nylon reinforcement panels remain free of major rips or tears.
