Protection through all Conditions

Staying warm and dry is critical for mission success, especially if it means you can outlast the enemy. From extreme cold to wet weather and everything in between, Milliken fabrics can help you perform. By constructing lightweight fabrics and then incorporating our technologies to enhance performance so dealing with the climate conditions can be an afterthought and military personnel can focus on the mission at hand.
