Tucking it in keeps the snow from running up into the jacket when you are prone or taking cover in snow covered areas. There are no waist drawstrings like the M-65 jackets.

And the LCF index.

Nice KNIVEZS!

How did you manage to order direct from ORC?

They don't have a Canada section in their order form last time I tried...

I think the name is a little misleading, I thought it was an FR clothing system.

pugs144 · March 31st, 2012, 10:58

No, it is not. FR components are not part of the PCU system AFAIK.

PCU is designed to protect you from the natural elements ie: rain, snow, wind, etc.

The whole FR thing is mostly to protect the soldiers in the humvees who hit an IED. Soliders were seeing burn injuries from having clothes light on fire, the need was recognized for fire resistant clothing as your combat effectiveness is pretty much reduced to zero if you're on fire. As well, if you're already fucked up and cant move at least you won't also be on fire...

Well also with things like flashbangs or flares older BDUs melted and causing burns.

has anyone used a Dragon Red Airsoft PCU lvl 5 set?...I keep seeing posts from Huang advertising different combat shirts. While browsing the site I came across the PCU set and was curious if the imitation PCU gets the job done? My other option i was considering was a Condor softshell in foliage...which is a better choice if i dont want to spend orc/pantigonia $$$ but still want a quality jacket?
