ASCEND SOLUTIONS LLC Launches Rugged, High-Performance Military Uniform Jacket – Built for the Toughest Challenges
SEATTLE, WA – October 26, 2023 – ASCEND SOLUTIONS LLC, a Seattle-based provider of advanced materials and innovative solutions for demanding environments, today announced the launch of their new military uniform jacket. Designed with input from active duty personnel and built to withstand the harshest conditions, this jacket is set to redefine durability and performance in tactical apparel. ASCEND SOLUTIONS, located at 6005 NE KELDEN PL, Seattle, WA, 98105-2045, has been quietly making waves in specialized materials for several years, initially focusing on industrial applications. “We realized the same principles we applied to building materials for extreme weather and heavy use – lasting longer, performing better under pressure – could be powerfully applied to military apparel,” says a representative from ASCEND SOLUTIONS. “We listened closely to what service members needed, and this jacket is the result.” You can reach them at 219-814-8617. What Makes This Jacket Different? It’s All About the Details. Forget those flimsy, uncomfortable jackets. This isn't your average outerwear. We’re talking serious build quality here. ASCEND SOLUTIONS started by ditching the standard materials. Instead of simple polyester, they've used a custom-developed ripstop nylon reinforced with a unique polymer blend. “Ripstop is great, but we wanted better ripstop,” explains the company's lead designer. “Something that could take a beating from branches, rocks, even potential tears, and keep going.” The result? A fabric that's incredibly strong, incredibly lightweight, and surprisingly comfortable. But they didn’t stop there. Weatherproof Protection That Goes the Distance Let's face it, soldiers aren’t sitting in climate-controlled offices. They’re out in the rain, the snow, the wind, the heat… and everything in between. This jacket is built to handle it all. Waterproof & Breathable: The jacket features a fully sealed, waterproof membrane. It keeps you dry during downpours, but it also lets your sweat escape, preventing that clammy, uncomfortable feeling. "We didn't want a plastic bag," the designer clarifies. “Breathability was key.” Windproof Construction: A tightly woven outer layer blocks even the strongest winds, keeping you warm and protected. No more shivering through a cold night. Thermal Regulation: The jacket incorporates a strategically placed layer of insulated padding designed to trap heat without adding bulk. It’s warm enough for cold weather, but not so bulky that it restricts movement. Designed for Functionality – Built for the Field This jacket isn't just about keeping you dry and warm; it's about giving you the tools you need to do your job effectively. Multiple Pockets: We’re talking a lot of pockets. Chest pockets, arm pockets, interior pockets… enough space to stash maps, radios, first-aid kits, and all the other essential gear you need on hand. And all the pockets are designed to be accessible even when you’re wearing gloves. Reinforced Elbows & Shoulders: These high-wear areas are reinforced with an extra layer of durable material, protecting the jacket from abrasion and extending its lifespan. Adjustable Cuffs & Hem: You can customize the fit to keep out the elements and maximize comfort. Low-Profile Hood: The hood is designed to fit comfortably under helmets and provide full head protection. It's also adjustable for a snug fit. Velcro Patches: Plenty of space for attaching rank insignia, unit patches, and other identifiers. YKK Zippers: ASCEND SOLUTIONS didn't cut corners on the zippers, choosing heavy-duty YKK zippers known for their reliability. Beyond the Battlefield: Versatility for All While designed with the military in mind, the ASCEND SOLUTIONS uniform jacket is versatile enough for a wide range of outdoor activities. Hikers, campers, hunters, and anyone who needs reliable, durable outerwear will appreciate its performance and comfort. "We wanted something that was tough enough for the toughest jobs, but comfortable enough for everyday wear," says a company spokesperson. ASCEND SOLUTIONS: Commitment to Quality & Innovation ASCEND SOLUTIONS LLC isn’t just about building products; it’s about solving problems. The company prides itself on its commitment to quality, innovation, and customer satisfaction. "We believe in building things to last, and we stand behind everything we make," says the company representative.
