Title: Cabelas ECWCS base layer
Post by: Mike Rousseau on Sep 25, 2019, 07:32 PM

Hello

Looking at getting Cabela’s ECWCS heavy weight base layer

Anyone have em?

Any Good?

I’m also concerned about size... I’m 6’4” and bounce between 275-300lbs

I’m thinking 2xl tall should be perfect

Anyone around my size able to comment on sizing? 

Thanks

I picked up a ECWCS polar weight top a year or two back, it's great for warmth, breathable, and thin.  Much better than the MTP heavyweight I had, warm but bulky and fleece type material.  Watch for Cabelas fall or early winter sale, I picked mine up for pretty cheap.  probably have it on black friday also.

I have two because I like them so much, but I have a Large when I normally wear Medium.  Get them as large as you can, but I wear mine all the time and will be buying more.

I got a couple sets probably 7 years ago and they're still going strong, no holes and the 1/4 zip still works. I'm 6'5" and 235ish. I wear 2xl tall tops and XL bottoms, both are on the smaller side, snug on me as others have said. I like this base layer for stationary activities like watching flags all day but get to doing a bunch of hiking or sled dragging and they can get to be a bit much. I see they're on sale today.
