1) What is PCU?
2) What makes up the first 8 levels?
3) Why am I helping to design the new L9 platform, and how did Beyond get the opportunity?
4) What fabrics will the L9 be made of?
5) Will it be made in AOR1 and AOR2?

What is PCU?
PCU is an acronym for ‘Protective Combat Uniform’. A seven layer system for extreme cold weather use, originally fielded by US Special Operations in 2003. The first three layers are long underwear and fleece garments, layer 4 is a windshirt/vapor barrier, the fifth layer is a soft shell that is highly water resistant and wind resistant. The 6th layer is GORETEX, and the seventh layer is Primaloft.
The system is made to be used in temperatures as cold as negative 50 degrees F, while not moving. Never used simultaneously, each layer is worn to maximize comfort, and breathability, while protecting against almost any frigid or wet environment.
