Dunno, Hercules Wear still has ORC stuff in stock (at least according to the website). $45 for a Level 6 hardshell doesn't suck

$97 for a genuine level 5 SF-PCU

Yep. Looking at eBay it it looks like the current Level 5 is made by Patagonia with some minor updates to the pattern like the zippered shoulder pockets.

I'm surprised Orc still has some Level 5's in stock. $97 for the jacket is a steal compared to what people are paying on eBay. Clearing out the warehouse I guess. I've already got a set but I like to have 2 of everthing

Just received some MCU from Huang with ORC on the tag, that mean it's a replica or no... ?

This means that China has got scary about replicating, that's all. Their TAD replica even has the made in USA tag inside and the TAD patch on it.

Much like the Flyye tag...

Thanks.

OK So I saw the Contras team at Flag Raiders on Sunday, most were using this kit, and I must say it looked awesome! PCU tops go very well with ACU Bottoms IMO, looks like ANOTHER kit ill have to start
Thanks to the Contra guy that explained what the shirt was to me (Not sure who you are on here). I mistook it for a flight suit jacket.

Sekri.org's stuff is surprisingly inexpensive...

Keep in mind, guys, that there's a lot under that wind/water resistant shell that you don't see - its a system of multiple layers that are interchangeable depending on the environment. With that system you can pretty much go from the hot desert to a Northern Ontario winter!

No problem, buddy. Happy I could help.

I Watched the video on the blackhawk website, says its part of the ECWCS line, this means its only for wintertime or can be had for everyday use?

[Shirley]

Damn it, I want a set from Huang!
It's water proof too!

[pugs144]

It's water-resistant, not waterproof.

I just got a pair of the ORC PCU pants, and the Blackhawk L5 jacket (since ORC doesn't have Xtra-Meaty size jackets anymore), while a teamate just got both ORC PCU pants and jacket. The Blackhawk jacket is almost identical to the ORC one, so it's not for cold weather use by itself.

Like I said, you need to layer. Those "level 5" jackets and pants are merely wind-breaking, water resistant shells. They offer no real insulation at all. Look into a fleece mid-layer and an under-armour cold gear shirt for actual warmth. Couple that all together and you have the makings of an all-weather setup.
