AUSA 25 – Tropo Performance All-Weather Active Insulation Jacket by GORE-TEX Brand

Wednesday, October 15th, 2025

W.L. Gore & Associates (Gore), creators of the GORE-TEX Brand and global leader in high-performance waterproof, windproof, and breathable fabric technologies exhibited several new products including the Tropo Performance All-Weather Active Insulation Jacket.

Developed in-house, the proposed All-Weather Active Insulation Jacket is intended to replace both Gen III ECWCS levels three and four in the Soldier’s rucksack (seen below).

It’s a straight forward design sized to both under armor and as a stand-alone jacket and delivers active breathability during high-output use and static warmth when stationary, keeping the insulation dry from the inside and out. There’s plenty of ventilation for high activity with Targeted Ventilation Underarm panels and mesh pocket bags promoting airflow during aerobic activity. Speaking of pockets, there are five with three external and two internal pockets. Ready for use, it offers Velcro options for name/rank placement on sleeve or chest.

The shell material is WINDSTOPPER fabric which delivers:

• High resistance to air penetration to block the wind and maintain consistent warmth

• Fends off light rain and snow while maintaining insulation performance/protection

• High moisture vapor permeability allows Soldier’s perspiration to escape during periods of high activity

• Outer shell fabric sheds moisture even without DWR

Inside, Polartec Alpha Direct insulation delivers:

• High-efficiency warmth with superior compressibility to reduce bulk

• Extremely open structure to increase airflow and prevent overheating during high activity

• High moisture wicking capability to quickly pull moisture off the Soldier’s body

Between going from two garments to one and with these materials, the jacket educes weight by 51% and pack volume by 38.8%.

The materials also keep insulation and base layers dry in adverse weather while maintaining breathability and comfort (low water pick-up). A 14% improvement in moisture vapor transmission vs ECWCS L3/L4.

Aside from its volume advantage, All-Weather Active Insulation Jacket meets the visual and nIR requirements of the OCP camo pattern (option to include SWIR), unlike the ECWCS L3 Fleece.

Submitted for formal evaluation under the Soldier Enhancement Program, it has been deferred to the next board for consideration. Previously, examples have been wear tested by several Army units in relevant field conditions.

Nomad Releases Durawool NXT Base Layers

Sunday, October 12th, 2025

Merino wool blended with nylon and spandex stays warm with soft stretch fit

CHARLESTON, SC. – Nomad Outdoor released its new base layer system, Durawool NXT.

Made of a blend of 60% Merino wool, 36% Nylon and 4% spandex, Durawool NXT base layers give 4-way stretch and mobility for soft, warm comfort under hunting gear in full season chill and late-season cold.

Both upper and lower pieces of Durawool base layers are thermo-regulating for large temperature swings that can happen during fall and early winter hunts. The highly breathablematerial helps transport moisture away from your skin, to keep you dry even when on the move.

“A high-quality base layer is super important for your comfort in the field,” said Nomad Outdoor marketing director Mike Tussey. “Our Durawool NXT pairs perfectly with any of our in-field gear and helps you stay in the stand longer, for when the big bucks start moving.”

The long-sleeve Durawool NXT crew is gusseted under the arms for enhanced mobility. It comes in Overland Trek tan and retails for $90.

FirstSpear Friday Focus: Rash Guard

Friday, October 10th, 2025

FirstSpear’s RASH GUARDS are engineered for high-performance use in maritime, watersport, or tactical environments. Constructed from a proprietary USA-made blend of 83 % polyester and 17 % spandex, it offers an ultralight compression fit that clings close to the body without excess bulk.

The fabric is quick-drying, allowing moisture to dissipate rapidly and preventing the garment from remaining saturated during activity. Smooth flat seams minimize rubbing or abrasion, even when the Rash Guard is worn under gear, harnesses, or in high-friction settings.

In addition to mechanical protection, the material provides natural UV defense, helping shield skin from sun exposure during extended operations or sessions on the water. Low-profile integrated thumbholes help anchor the sleeves in place, especially when donning additional equipment or layering over gear. FirstSpear advises ordering your normal t-shirt size for a snug, compression-style fit, while stepping up one or two sizes yields a slightly more relaxed feel without sacrificing performance.

The Rash Guard is available in both short- and long-sleeve versions, offering versatility for different climates or mission profiles. It is entirely manufactured in the USA, aligning with FirstSpear’s commitment to domestic production and quality control. Its blend of stretch, durability, and rapid drying behavior makes it well-suited for repeated use in harsh environments. Whether worn as a standalone base layer, under armor, or for training, it balances protection, comfort, and function. With mission-oriented design and materials, it stands as a dependable piece for those operating in aquatic, coastal, or gear-intensive settings.
