NEW OCP IHWCU REVIEW (Improved Hot Weather Combat Uniform) Comparison

Sdílet
Vložit
  • čas přidán 5. 07. 2020
  • I was finally able to get my hands on the Hot Weather OCP (IHWCU) and I must say they are a night and day difference compared to the older OCPs in terms of comfortability. I got my pair from US Patriot tactical. It's more lightweight and I also think they look better too. Let me know what you guys think!

    The IHWCU is not yet approved for AF usage but hopefully it will be soon. OCPs are pretty damned hot to wear. It's why servicemen go in undershirts without the jacket whenever they're allowed to. Especially in hot states like Florida, the only time OCPs are comfortable is when the temperature is down in the 60s.

    I never was in the military but I subscribe to the minutemen theory so I got the 2 piece flight suit set in OCP and it is quite comfortable. In the firedepartment I'm used to wearing nomex so when I saw those were available I got them because I knew how comfortable nomex is. I got the top and bottoms for $30 total, so that was a big reason too. I use them for hiking and training and they literaly feel like pajamas. Was interested in the hot weather stuff because they seem more rugged since made of nyco but also keep you cool.

    There's elements of this uniform I wish they'd bring to the regular OCPs, I prefer the buttons I had on my ABUs over the zipper on OCPs and I hate the zipper sleeve pockets on the OCPs, getting the pockets open is no problem but when I need to rezip it I have to hold my cuff, I do use my breast pockets so going to this uniform wouldn't be good for me.
    Also if Big Air Force is listening, we need the pen pockets on the lower leg to come back.

    In reference to the "button" scandal, in Philly (the birthplace of the country), we tend to soften Ts in the middle of words, or even completely ignore them, so "buddon" or even "bu'on" would be more acceptable than enunciating the Ts. Her "you don't sound American" comment couldn't be any more wrong... Either way, good video.
