Candidate Fabrics for the 2nd Generation Extended Cold Weather Clothing System
Abstract
A literature search was conducted during the summer of 1995 to find potential candidate fabrics and materials for the 2nd Generation Extended Cold Weather Clothing System (ECWCS). The objective was to find alternative materials for the ECWCS which would drastically reduce the weight and bulk of the current system, while providing improved environmental protection over a wide spectrum of climatic conditions. Several materials were identified that showed potential; however, materials testing is needed before a complete evaluation of the materials can be made.
