PropperMen's Gen Iii Fleece Jacket

$90 for a ultra light flease..really!its a propper...hence the TAX!this is a ultra light with side streach..thats moves easy and vents well.the downside is any wind at all and you be digging out your windbreaker..i wanted this over the windbreak types because this is exactly a GEN 3 LEVEL 3 wear.you allways add something over this anyway...its warm and you be dry as long as you follow the whole game plan.it tends to snag slightly on the LEVEL 2 if it baggy at all.would work even better with the GEN 1 LEVEL 2 POLYPRO.but this jacket is really made to be ULTRA LIGHT and VENT REALLY WELL with LEVEL 1-2 or both and 3 and some form of protection over it...like i said it made to allow max movement with great venting..infact if you get wet this system is made to cook off dry.so if you planning on going to a bears game in this alone well you be sorry fast.understand what it is designed to do...seems some did not grasp that in the reviews of LEVEL 3.much lighter than the old 400 black/gray patch jackets ...if you add level 1,2 to this with a gore tex parka you be good to go...something in the area of level 4/5/6.that way it breaks the wind and insulation only works in a dead airspace anyway.so you need something over this...otherwise buy a jacket that has that built in.its amazing how the military uses level 1,2,3 and then a shell parka down to the 30s but it works.any gore tex or like shell like parka with arm pit vent zippers like snowboarding jackets with also work well with this.gen 1 woodland gore tex parka works well too...i like the gen 1 models over the gen 2/3 in parka as there a nylon liner in the older ones..good for multi use.propper makes great gear....know what your getting.

On the left is the standard issue fleece jacket and the right is the one I bought. I did expect it to be a bit lighter from the pictures but the one I received had a greenish tint to it. But the fit was fine, if it wasn't for the color, I would've kept it.
