GORE-TEX Military Fabrics

Cilo Gear Pulls Back the Curtain

We’ve mentioned Cilo Gear in the past but their military programs have remained very much shrouded in mystery. However, this OR we were offered a glimpse at a couple of their newest prototype products.

The first item is a very simple shell garment made from a reversible waterproof breathable fabric which can be printed on both sides. It currently weighs 9.6 oz but should weigh in around 6 oz once the final version comes to market. For example, they are ditching the pocket and changing the zipper and seam tape.

This pack is based on a commercial model WorkSack and will be available in March with a number of different options including drain holds, Terminal Attack Controller options, or as a lid for biggest dumb pack you ever saw. Like all Cilo Gear products its super lightweight, weighing less than a pound, with a final weight pending a couple of new design concepts.

    ATACS brown on one side, green on the other..and some matching pants..and you’ll have a winner.

    I like the MC on one, white/arctic on the other. Make it a little bit looser (or just buy a size larger), and this would be perfect for where I live (because MC is pretty much perfect out here, but it snows like hell occasionally). Is this going to be on the civilian market, or MIL only?
