Cold Weather Lightweight Thermal Underwear

Army Issue Base Layer

These are US Army Cold Weather Lightweight Thermal Underwear drawers, made to be worn as a base layer, the first layer against the skin under uniform trousers or field pants. The lightweight polyester knit adds warmth without bulk, so it fits under fitted pants or shell layers. Soldiers, hunters, hikers and anyone working outdoors in cold months can wear a pair under their regular clothing.

Features

• Polyester Knit Fabric — A lightweight polyester knit sits close to the skin and adds a thin layer of warmth under outer clothing.
• Base Layer Design — The drawers are cut to go under trousers, so they work as the bottom of a layered cold weather system.
• Elastic Waistband — A wide, covered elastic band holds the drawers in place at the waist without a belt or drawstring.
• Front Fly Opening — A sewn front fly panel keeps the drawers practical for long days in the field.
• Ribbed Ankle Cuffs — Knit cuffs at the ankles keep the legs from riding up inside boots or trouser legs.
• Close, Tapered Fit — The legs narrow from hip to ankle, which keeps the fabric flat and avoids bunching under outer pants.
• Earth-Tone Color — The muted brown-tan shade sits easily under military uniforms and outdoor clothing.
• Genuine US Army Issue — These drawers were produced for the US Army, not a commercial maker's version of military kit.

Original Army Spec

These drawers were made for US Army cold weather clothing, and every detail follows the government pattern: polyester knit, elastic waist, front fly and cuffed ankles. Issued kit is built to a set specification, so buyers know what they are getting. That also makes the drawers a sound choice for reenactors and collectors who want correct US Army base layers.
