TRIED & TRUE
COLD AND WARM WEATHER GARMENTS
Follow along as we give a shout-out to some of our most advanced garments, offering both cold and warm weather solutions, in this Big Voice article.
Our team has dedicated extensive time and effort to meticulously research and evaluate the top products for specific end uses. We refrain from favoritism at Massif, as we consider every piece of gear with the same level of seriousness. This is because we understand that each garment can significantly impact a hero's safety in the field.
The following list of products includes legacy pieces that have proven effective in the field and some relatively new pieces—all of which have a compelling technological story to back up our claims. You will notice some of these products are flame-resistant, and some are not. Massif is, at its core, an FR clothing company. We understand not every soldier has a mission that requires FR, so we have come prepared with garments to support those missions.
In this article, we've highlighted a diverse range of layers, each with its own unique purpose and advantage. We advocate for a cohesive and purpose-built layering system, as it's the most effective way to ensure comfort in extreme circumstances and weather patterns.
Each layer’s ability to work alongside one another and be interchanged or worn alone can deliver the end user a wide array of comfort. Every end-user has their own set of variables, like non-ideal weather conditions, personal preference, or unforeseen mission requirements, which allows them to decide which combination of layers is the perfect match for their purpose.
