This ECU contract is a follow-on to the New Enhanced Combat Uniform contract awarded to Peerless in 2012. Peerless has been a key supplier to the Canadian Forces since the early 1950s. The military operational clothing reduces detection through camouflage and concealment while ensuring that soldiers are kept warm, dry and comfortable when exposed to a variety of weather conditions.
