How is the Airman battle Uniform a battle uniform?
Ever been forced to wear the equivalent of a heavy jacket in 120 degree weather under an IBA and helmet, with an EXTRA lining?
Or trying to access awkwardly positioned pockets?
Or Instead of having zippers for emergency removal, having buttons?
Or one of the thousand other problems
It just seems the ABUs were meant for the harsh temperature-controlled environment of the Pentagon and not so much for the hell-inspired inferno-like environment of any of our current war zones.
I'm not complaining, but a name-change would be appropriate; how about Airman PowerPoint uniform (APU)?
Issued four, recieved four all look and feel like winter versions, along with everyone elses, as near as I can tell there are no summer versions
According to the link below
"The ABU will be offered in 50-50 nylon-cotton blend permanent press fabric eliminating the need for winter and summer weight uniforms"

It sounds like they are going to have to do what the Army did and get some opinions from the field make improvements to the uniform. I understand that they are making some changes to the ACU because of that.
