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 incorporating our technologies to enhance performance, dealing with climate conditions can be an afterthought – allowing military personnel to focus on the mission at hand.

Milliken’s industry-leading technical expertise in wovens, combined with Polartec fleece and knits, provide a comprehensive weather protective fabric offering. Single-source access to this breadth of products is critical when building layered systems for weather protection, such as the fabrics we provide for all seven layers of the U.S. Army Gen III Extended Cold Weather Clothing System (ECWCS).
