Field Reports

Massif Field Tester
Alaska
"We issued about 45 of the Elements Lite jackets and pants to the OH-58D Kiowa Warrior pilots in the Task Force. As 58D pilots we fly small recon helicopters without doors on in order to have the maximum field of view. Our pilots all have the Massif HotJohns, Elements Jacket/Pants and Elements Lite Jacket. With this combination of clothing by Massif we have been able to operate in temperatures from +40C down to 0C in relative comfort. Your products have been a great contribution to our combat effectiveness as we often fly 4-6 hour missions in these extreme conditions."
