Leave the vests and jackets at home - the Upper Section does double duty by converting to a vest. Double insulated draft collar, hood, drawcords at the waist and zippered arm holes make for a superior outer garment. The way the Upper contours, it "tents" over your body, rather than hugs it, unlike a tailored parka.

This traps air pockets, provides superior warmth in this configuration.

As a vest/parka, you can have your arms out, or pull them inside and zip it shut for total warmth. For soldiering, it can be worn over armor and 2nd line gear, without having to remove your gear - with the side zips open, and your arms out, you are still able to access your 2nd line gear.There is nothing out there that will provide this type of warmth, without removing your gear. This is a first.
Add the Mid MOB and you have added warmth down to your ankles. Leave the insulated pants behind!
Provided Blow-Out Snaps can be used in lieu of the zipper, or use them both for full protection.
The Upper works great when pulling OP/LP duty, and keeping warm while still having your fighting gear on. When taking breaks after long humps, put on the Upper MOB over your gear to keep from chilling down. Taking the place of an outer garment, the Upper saves you weight and bulk. The Upper MOB works equally well in the hunting and expedition world. Hunters on-stand will recognize the many benefits.

Pack it all up into it's own, built in stuff sack, which is positioned to provide a handy, inside pocket (except 0 degree and 20 below MOBs).
