GORE-TEX Brand gave us an excellent surprise, woven fabric technology to improve the performance of hot weather uniforms. Although this example is cut like a IHWCU, rumor has it the Army plans to develop a specific uniform for Hot / Wet climate operations and this fabric by GORE-TEX Labs seems like it would be worth a look.

Fabric Features:

• 10%-15% lighter than traditional blends while maintaining equivalent mechanical strength and superior durability
• Picks up less water and dries 2x faster
• Maintains exceptional colorfastness through repeated wear and washing
• No Melt – No Drip

In this chart, you can see how it compares to the current IHWCU fabric which suffers from colorfast and durability issues.
