I have read that GI's hate the new ACU's. They reportedly hate the material it is made out of, and they hate the design in general. Don't know myself, having never worn the stuff.

I do know that, even though for my personal use there are many civilian items that I feel equal or exceed the new GI cold weather stuff, I think that it is great that the military is finally issuing adequate cold weather gear. I can still remember being kicked out into sub-zero weather in the 60's with only cotton fatigues and a cotton M-65 field jacket with liner. Insulated underware? Only if you bought it yourself...
