Hello Everyone,sorry if this will be repost,i'm curious to know-is the anybody tried to use TRU-SPEC® H2O PROOF™ ECW GEN 2 ECW FOUL WEATHER PARKA.The color does not really matter,much important sizes(i've heard that they are slightly smaller than usual goverment issue),how it works(similar to original Gore-Tex,or worse),Waterproof,Windproof.Do it have attached windproof lumbar"skirt" inside,as Generation one Parka(if you now what i mean of "skirt").I'm thinking to buy one-but afraid to be mistaken.If sombody have some expirience of this-please share it with me!(forgive me for my english)

I pick up one top and pants, there are ok, made in china, But are a lot cheaper than the Gortex. not the kind of rain gear to wear in summer, it to hot. but for winter, they are great.

Thanks for your answer,have more questions to you.What about size?Is it ok?,sleeves aren't short(i've used one from FOXOUTDOORS,like this one,on the picture below-and those sleeves were short to me.i have a standart figure-but sleeves..)excuse me if this question looks stupid to you-but this is important,don't want to buy one more problem :) .

I'm agree,that they definetelly cheaper than Gore-tex-and for me is not really matter(obviosly wish to have an original for cheap prize),but afraid to get a bad replica

Tru-spec's Gen 2 parka's are quite nice actually. Wore one on a film set, spent all day under the water tower, everything was soaked, even the humvee soft top was leaking. But the tru-spec parka kept me dry, well, the parts of me it covered anyway. Tru-Spec's quality has drasticly improved over the last couple of years.

As for the sizing, it's pretty much the same as propper's, but if you're really tall, I'd recommend going one size up, as there aren't any long sizes.

Propper and Tru-spec match up pretty well. Propper has the advantage of being one of the real army contractors, while tru-spec has the advantage of price. Quality is pretty similar.

However Rothco and Fox outdoors are no match for the other two. When you're looking for clothing items, stick with Propper or Tru-Spec.

I found the sizes great, I am an extra large, and the wear a Large Regular in this coat, it seem the same size and my military wet weather gear.
