I must admit that I got crazy about that coat, which made me forget about my other insulation jackets (ECWCS 3G Level 7 or Helikon Level 7) – MIG 2.0 just satisfied all of my needs. Before the winter 2016, thanks to Udo Hofbauer from Carinthia, we have received MIG 3.0's for a review My admiration for the MIG series increased. With MIG 3.0, the Carinthia got rid of all shortcomings of the previous generation, although, still, those defects were insignificant. Jacket is now longer – although I pre- ferred shorter previous version, it caused some inconve- nience when I wore a pack, bent over, crouched, etc. The coat always moved upwards on the back, which was an unpleasant experience. With the new gen, that problem is non-existent. the sleeves: in the case of MIG 3.0 that part of the coat is just world-class quality, because that was the part of 2.0 that I liked the least. The elastic hem was a great disadvantage when I wore thicker gloves (but it was quite OK with thin ones) because I didn't know what should I do with their cuffs. Put them under the drawcord – out of the question, too thick, and gener- ally a stupid idea. Force the cuff of the sleeve under the cuff of the glove – completely pointless. All my attempts ended with the result that I head two donuts formed by my gloves and my sleeves. It was neither pretty, comfortable, nor tight. The new cuff is perfect. Now, when I have thin- ner gloves so I put them under the cuff of the sleeve and secure with flap. When I wear thicker gloves – I do the same, but without flap. The glove remains tight thanks to the cuff inside the sleeve and there is no problem of wind or snow getting inside. That's cool! the cordura reinforcements: real blast. they protect against abrasions and mechanical damages. You may now rest on your elbows or wear a backpack, or lay e.g. a weapon on your arm without worrying about damaging the main fabric. Main fabric: the overall performance is good. Nothing gets soaked, even under heavy rain, DWR works very well, even after the jacket is washed (I washed my pre- vious twice), while the breathability is very decent. Of course, it is not a softshell or hardshell, but you will not sweat as much as when wearing other insulation jack- ets. Even if, still, it is too warm for you, you can use pit zips. I used them like two or three times when I wan- dered in the Białowieża Forest. the fixed hood: I love it. The only type of insulation jackets I approve is the one with hood. All the models with stowable hoods are some half-measures IMHO. Of course, I know, it requires additional sealing (I use a buff CLOTHING
