Overview
The Intermediate Cold/Wet Glove System (ICWG) developed to address a deficiency of hand protection in cold/wet climates for ground troop soldiers. The original ICWG system was designed and field tested as a Soldier Enhancement Program (SEP) and adopted as an interim solution in June 1991. A Preplanned Product Improvement (P3I) Program immediately followed to address deficiencies identified from the ICWG SEP Program. The full solution ICWG was adopted by a Type Classification Review Panel in Nov 1994.
