The jacket works very well in worse weather conditions. It protects well against wind and rain, and the lining provides extra warmth on colder days. The material looks solid and the whole thing seems to be well made. The cut is comfortable and does not restrict movement, even with more layers underneath. Big plus for practical pockets and the ability to adjust the jacket to your needs. If someone is looking for a universal jacket for outdoor activities and everyday use, it is really worth it.
Mil-Tec ECWCS Wet Weather Gen. II Jacket with liner - Flecktarn
Constructed in Flecktarn camouflage, the ECWCS second generation water-resistant jacket utilizes a three-layer laminate that delivers reliable water resistance up to 5000 mm. Engineered to shield effectively against wind, the jacket also offers excellent insulation properties. The relaxed fit facilitates unrestricted mobility.
Durable material
The exterior of the jacket consists of 96% polyester with a 4% elastane blend. Internally, a breathable polyurethane membrane has been integrated. A detachable, insulated fleece lining sits beneath the jacket, providing added warmth. The fabric maintains vapor permeability, minimizing the risk of overheating during high-intensity activities. The inclusion of the lining makes the jacket suitable not only for autumn and spring but also for winter conditions. An additional feature is the snow guard, which prevents snow from penetrating under the jacket.
7 spacious pockets
The design incorporates seven separate pockets for optimal storage:
- two spacious hip pockets, each featuring water-resistant zippers
- two sleeve-mounted Velcro pockets, also secured with water-resistant zippers
- a large internal pocket at the back, fastened with Velcro
- two zippered side pockets integrated into the lining
adjustable hood and cuffs, high collar
A two-way YKK zipper, reinforced with a double storm flap, secures the jacket. Ventilation openings under the arms, equipped with zippers, enhance breathability and air circulation. A high collar and adjustable hood provide reliable protection for the head and neck against cold and wind. The cuffs feature velcro (hook and loop) closures, allowing for easy adjustment to fit various wrist sizes. All outer jacket seams are fully taped.

Flecktarn camouflage
Flecktarn is an iconic camouflage pattern originating from the German military, officially adopted by the Bundeswehr in 1990. Characterized by small, irregularly shaped spots in five distinct colors—typically dark green, olive, brown, black, and beige—Flecktarn employs clusters of dots and softened edges between shades to expertly break up the outline of the wearer in wooded areas, dense shrubbery, or forest floor environments. Engineered for European climates, and particularly suited to temperate regions, Flecktarn continues to serve as the standard camouflage for German armed forces and is used by various police and military units. Its proven effectiveness has inspired numerous adaptations and versions worldwide.

Jacket purchased on 1.12.2024, well and solidly made, nice external pocket zippers, waterproof. The fleece is warm, and the sleeves are slightly shorter than the jacket, but that's a plus—they don't get soaked in the rain. In a model from another company, that was a problem. I've worn it for two winters, and it’s not bad. :-) As for downsides, after removing the fleece, there's no hook to hang the jacket, which is only present on the fleece. Overall, I recommend it.

I bought one of these jackets about a year ago, and although I appreciate it for its warmth and comfort, the one I received is not waterproof at all. As soon as I go out in the rain, I get soaked right away. That was really disappointing, so now I’m looking for a water-resistant jacket.

After six years of wearing the Gen1 jacket almost daily (except in the summer) during dog walks – about 10 km a day – I had to replace it with a new one, as the wear and tear was completely natural. The jacket has always proven to be waterproof, windproof, warm, and durable, and my Malinois didn't always treat it gently. Now, I've chosen the Gen 2 model, in which I really see significant improvements. The pockets have become more functional and have zippers, the hood is bigger and adjustable, and the fleece lining remains as before. The jacket's cut is great – with my height of 204 cm and weight of 113 kg, I choose size XXL. Also, just like in the previous version, I sewed a cord into the bottom of the jacket to fit it better – without this, it was too loose. Thanks to this, the bottom of the jacket fits like a hoodie. It's great! I hope Gen 2 will last me just as long.

I've been using it for two years and I'm moderately satisfied. The jacket has a unique camouflage pattern. It's practically undetectable from a distance of even 10 meters in the right terrain. Additionally, it has spacious pockets and the possibility to detach the fleece lining, which can be worn separately. The two-way main zipper and the zippers under the armpits are definitely advantages. Unfortunately, most of them operate quite stiffly, which makes it difficult to use one-handed. The jacket works well in temperatures from 0 to 20 degrees, which is quite a range. However, during intense walking, you start to sweat a lot, even if you remove the lining. The waterproofing is rather minimal, as is the breathability. The attachments for the fleece lining at the sleeve ends are with one snap per sleeve, which makes it difficult to remove. In fact, in the first few months, the poorly designed snap connecting the fleece to the outer layer broke, near the hanging loop, and after two years, the more frequently used sleeve zipper no longer fastens.

I picked it up, tried it on, and sent it back while at the same time ordering a smaller size. The sizes are a bit exaggerated. The jacket looks solid, the “fleece” liner too. The weight is similar to the ECWSC USA gen.I (without liner), a bit longer. Nice enough that I ordered a smaller one right away. I’ll keep trying with the size until I get it right ;-)

The jacket is very well made - there are no shortcomings or flaws. It is warm even after removing the inner layer. The camouflage works very well. The jacket is very functional, has plenty of large pockets, a high collar, and a hood with a small visor. A big plus is that you can unzip the sides under the arms, which allows you to air out a bit. I recommend measuring yourself carefully before buying and checking the jacket’s measurements :)

The jacket is great, comfortable, good quality. I bought size XL jacket + pants. The lining is warm, the hood is comfortable, it protects the neck well from the wind thanks to the high collar. My measurements: 190 cm height, 120 cm chest, weight 113 kg, waist 101 cm.

Very nice jacket, warm with a high collar and hood. Well made, it's not a cheap Chinese product from Aliexpress. Just be careful with the sizing, because it's not accurate and it is indeed large; jackets and pants are for big guys. I assumed the clothes would be smaller than described in the size chart, but it’s actually the opposite. I ordered 3XL, as I usually do in various stores (weight 113kg, 190cm, 102cm waist, 120cm chest), and this jacket was much too big, like putting on a sheet or a big bag, like the Groke from the Moomins :) Now I've ordered XL. Also be careful with the pants from this series, same situation: supposedly minimum 100cm for 3XL, but after tightening the drawstrings there was still about 6cm too much at the waist, so I also ordered XL. Overall, the clothes are very well made and it will be easier to photograph animals.

Hello, I have this jacket, it looks great, I recommend it. As for the sleeves and the zipper closure, there should be a different solution, this version is a bit impractical, unless someone likes it? Personally, I don't like it and I have my own idea for changing this closure. I recommend it.

The jacket overall disappointed me a bit – the workmanship quality for this price is not satisfactory. Nevertheless, it looks nice and is functional (the detachable fleece lining offers many possibilities, and the jacket is theoretically all-season).
-
It looks good, the cut allows for relative comfort, it works in the rain, is warm, but it’s just a façade that should be used carefully in city conditions. The finish quality is embarrassingly low. I wouldn’t take it into the field. Breathability is also a myth. Two stars for quality and durability, plus one more because it works perfectly for business trips – when you need a universal piece of clothing for a suit jacket and for after-hours use.

Nice jacket, I let myself buy it at full price as a birthday gift. According to feedback, the jacket is very comfortable, and the great thing is that it comes with a fleece (so you don't need to buy it separately or look for liners), and a very funny comment after coming back from outdoors was: "...I didn't even feel under the jacket that I was sweating..." which can be interpreted as good breathability. In summary, the jacket is still being tested, but many signs indicate that it is indeed worth considering.

It looks really nice. Unfortunately, according to the size chart, size S was supposed to fit a person 174 cm tall with a 102 cm chest circumference, but it is too small. I am waiting for the delivery of size M.
