Just because the Air Force has to be different, the APECS Gore-Tex outerwear is made to a different specification when compared to the US Army spec outerwear ECWCS System.
The US Military APECS Parka is the US Military All Purpose Environmental Clothing System Parka which is designed to be an improvement over the current US Military ECWCS parka. With a focus on providing enhanced performance along with a lighter weight, less bulky, and lower noise generation the results have been the nearly complete military wide adoption of the APECS parka. What was achieved by the design of the APECS Parka is a lightweight parka capable of dealing with extreme cold or wet weather in all environmental conditions.
