ASCEND SOLUTIONS LLC Launches Next-Gen Military Uniform Jacket, Redefining Comfort & Durability
Seattle, WA – October 26, 2023 – ASCEND SOLUTIONS LLC, a Seattle-based innovator in performance apparel, today announced the launch of its groundbreaking military uniform jacket. Designed with direct feedback from service members and built with cutting-edge materials, this jacket isn’t just another piece of gear – it’s a complete rethink of how comfort, durability, and functionality meet in the field. ASCEND SOLUTIONS, located at 6005 NE KELDEN PL, Seattle, WA 98105-2045, has been quietly building a reputation for crafting high-performance apparel solutions. The company, reachable at 219-814-8617, focuses on understanding the real needs of demanding professions. “We don’t just make clothes; we engineer solutions,” explains Sarah Chen, CEO of ASCEND SOLUTIONS. "For this jacket, we spent over a year listening to soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines – finding out what really bothers them about their current gear and what would genuinely make a difference in their performance and comfort." What's Different About This Jacket? It's All in the Details. Forget everything you think you know about standard-issue military jackets. This isn't just an upgrade; it's a ground-up redesign. The ASCEND SOLUTIONS jacket addresses key pain points identified by service members, focusing on three core pillars: comfort, durability, and adaptability. Comfort – Say Goodbye to Chafing and Restrictions Let’s be honest, traditional military jackets aren’t known for being comfortable. ASCEND SOLUTIONS tackled this head-on. The jacket utilizes a revolutionary four-way stretch fabric – a blend of Cordura and a proprietary performance knit – allowing for a full range of motion without restriction. "We wanted something that moves with the soldier, not against them," says Mark Olsen, lead designer at ASCEND SOLUTIONS. "Imagine scaling a wall, maneuvering in tight spaces, or even just spending hours on patrol – this jacket won't hold you back.” Beyond the stretch, the jacket features strategically placed, moisture-wicking panels to keep users dry and comfortable even during intense activity. No more feeling clammy and uncomfortable. The interior lining is constructed from a soft, breathable mesh, eliminating chafing and irritation. “We've really paid attention to the little things,” Olsen adds. “Things like the collar design and the placement of seams – it all adds up to a significantly more comfortable experience.” Durability – Built to Withstand the Toughest Conditions Military gear has to be tough. ASCEND SOLUTIONS understands this implicitly. The jacket’s outer shell is constructed from 500D Cordura nylon, renowned for its exceptional abrasion resistance and tear strength. This isn’t your average nylon – it’s built to withstand the rigors of harsh environments and demanding operations. Reinforcements have been added to high-wear areas, such as the elbows, shoulders, and cuffs, further enhancing the jacket’s durability. All seams are triple-stitched for added strength and longevity. “We’ve put this jacket through some serious testing,” says Chen. “We’ve exposed it to extreme temperatures, heavy abrasion, and constant use. It’s passed with flying colors.” The jacket also features a durable water repellent (DWR) finish, providing protection from rain, snow, and mud. Adaptability – One Jacket, Multiple Missions Modern warfare demands adaptability. The ASCEND SOLUTIONS jacket is designed to meet this need. It features a modular design, allowing users to customize the jacket to suit their specific mission requirements. Removable Hood: The hood is fully adjustable and can be removed completely for warmer weather or when concealment is required. Detachable Sleeves: The sleeves can be zipped off, converting the jacket into a vest for increased mobility and ventilation. Multiple Pockets: The jacket features a generous array of pockets, including two chest pockets, two handwarmer pockets, and a large internal pocket, providing ample storage for essential gear. Adjustable Cuffs and Waist: The cuffs and waist are adjustable, allowing for a customized fit and improved comfort. Velcro Panels: Strategically placed Velcro panels allow for the attachment of unit patches, name tapes, and other identifiers. Beyond the Specs: A Commitment to Service “This isn’t just about building a better jacket; it’s about supporting the men and women who serve our country,” says Chen. “We’ve worked closely with military personnel throughout the entire design and development process, and their feedback has been invaluable.” ASCEND SOLUTIONS is committed to providing high-quality, innovative apparel solutions that meet the unique needs of the military community. The company is actively seeking partnerships with defense contractors and military organizations to further refine its products and expand its reach.

Pricing starts at $249.99. Bulk discounts are available for military units and organizations. Contact: David Lee Marketing Manager ASCEND SOLUTIONS LLC [email protected] 219-814-8617
