Yknow what pisses me off about this? They built their business filling military contracts. At least thats what they used to say on their site. Five or ten years ago I had bought three of their civilian version M3B parkas because I liked my issue one from the 80s that had kept me warm down to -75.

It was 40 degrees or so the day they arrived. They were the right cut and design just like the old one except that all the materials except the snaps had changed. The outer shell had been changed to that trash flight nylon that no enlisted man should ever be issued. The old batted insulation was replaced by something like thinsulate and so poorly distributed that in some places I could rub the inner liner directly against the outer shell. I went outside and after just a few minutes was getting cold.

I posted about it back then and will repeat what I said then, assuming that they are still producing trash for the military, corruption of whomever may have approved this contract needs to be investigated and treason charges brought to those who knowingly have diminished our troop capability and endangered those troops lives.
