Depicted here is the standard appearance of a conventionally armed Nu-7 operative who is working within a cold weather environment. While the standard fitment and other similarly equipped loadouts constitute hot weather uniforms, Nu-7 must also be equipped with sufficient and additional cold and wet weather gear in order to successfully operate within such an environment. There are several very effective US military cold weather systems that involve layering certain types of winter clothing in order to remain comfortable in a cold or freezing environment without overheating, sweating, and becoming hypothermic. The SCP Foundation supplies their Armed Mobile Task Force units with a similar cold weather layering system that works in tandem with their standard uniform. This enables conventional elements to carry this cold weather system on their kit at all times so when in transit to a cold working area the element is able to quickly adapt to the climate without a delay in responding to the threat.
The main cold weather garment that the operative always carries with them is the Crye Precision HalfJak. This is specifically the insulated version that has enhanced cold weather capabilities compared to other variants. As the name suggests the garment fits over roughly half of the body to allow for the operative to wear it over their standard clothing and still access their kit on the plate carrier. It is secured to the carrier itself using four hooks that catch onto four paracord loops on the cummerbund. The plate carrier itself retains a lot of core body heat and the HalfJak further retains body heat due to its insulation. Temperature is regulated by having the sides of the body open to airflow and the HalfJak itself can be unzipped at the front. It has a built-in hood stored in the raised collar and can be deployed easily should the situation require it. It stores compactly in a elastic bag located at the rear of the plate carrier.
Another additional external bit of cold weather kit is the camouflage overwhites. Here the operative is wearing USMC Experimental Overwhites trousers in snow MARPAT. Its matching pack cover is also seen over his assault pack. This is a camouflage garment that provides a snow camouflage pattern over his standard combat pants in a snowy environment. The overwhites material provides an additional cold and wet weather layer over the standard combat pants. It is paired with Twin Needle puttees over the boots to further protect the users legs and feet from a cold and wet weather environment. In an extreme wet weather environment the operative can choose to wear a poncho instead.
Should the environment require it, AMTF units are also equipped with internal cold weather clothing that can be worn underneath the standard uniform. These are the simple but effective waffle grid wool base layers. The operative is wearing a prototype base layer set from Beyond Clothing. The grid pattern of the wool allows for quick moisture wicking and airflow while still retaining a large amount of body heat. It can be paired with a grid pattern beanie, in this case a Helikon-Tex Grid Fleece Beanie Cap. This beanie has a pocket that allows the user to store their in-ear protection so they can quickly access it when switching from helmet to beanie.
In a combat scenario it is important to retain dexterity even when operating within a cold weather environment. Many cold weather mittens or gloves provide excellent insulation at the cost of reduced dexterity. One way to retain some dexterity while also fighting the cold is to layer gloves. The operative here wears Mechanix Original Gloves over his PIG FDT Alpha Gloves. This provides some insulation while also retaining dexterity. The operative can further enhance insulation by wearing the waffle grid base layer over the gloves using the incorporated thumb loop.
This customized cold weather system provides a sufficient level of cold weather protection in a lightweight and compressible package. Once all aspects of this cold weather suite is put together, it can provide the wearer with some comfort even in below freezing conditions.
