THE PENTAGON — Gore-Tex. Poly-Pro. Snivel Gear. These older systems will soon take a back seat to the Army’s newest cold-weather protection system, sources tell Duffel Blog.

The new kid on the block in terms of preserving soldiers’ body heat is known as PolarTec, which will be ready for mass fielding by the fall of 2015, ushering in a new age of comfort and defense from harsh weather conditions that will be immediately banned by every command sergeant major and field grade officer on the planet.

    As Dan Rather once said of another news story, “Fake, but accurate”. I can remember windy 20 degree days when the uniform of the day was fatigues (cotton sateen, OG-107), field jacket, and that stupid $^&** baseball hat. We shur looked perty, but frostbite was only minutes away.

    Meanwhile, perfectly good cold weather gear was sitting in duffel bags on our wall lockers, ready for inspection or WWIII.

    Ah, good times.
