BEYOND CLOTHING COYOTE KRIOS A2 LONG JOHN NEW

Beyond Clothing A2 Krios Long John — Genuine Issue Cold-Weather Base Layer

The Beyond Clothing A2 Krios Long John is authentic U.S. military-issue cold-weather base layer gear in coyote brown — part of the Protective Combat Uniform (PCU) / Cold Weather Clothing System family used by special operations and other elite units. These are the real deal: originally contracted and issued, not a reproduction. For your customers who hunt, hike, snowmobile, patrol, or just need serious cold-weather insulation under their shells, this is a hard-to-beat foundation layer.

Why the A2 Krios Base Layer Works

The A2 layer in the PCU system is engineered for next-to-skin warmth in cold, dry conditions. The fabric features a grid-fleece construction — clearly visible in the raised channels across the leg — which traps body heat in air pockets while allowing moisture vapor to escape. The result is a lightweight bottom that insulates far better than its weight suggests and dries fast when things get sweaty on the move.

Features and Construction

• Coyote brown — the standard-issue colorway, pairs with multicam, OCP, and civilian earth-tone kits
• Grid-fleece knit for high warmth-to-weight and quick-drying performance
• Elastic waistband with contrasting black band for a secure, non-binding fit under trousers
• Functional fly with reinforced panel for practical field use
• Flatlock seams along the inseam and side to minimize chafing under layers and load-bearing gear
• Articulated knees and tapered leg for natural movement and a clean fit inside combat trousers or shell pants
• Genuine Beyond Clothing / U.S. military contract issue — authentic PCU-family gear

Who It Sells To

This is a strong pickup for stores that serve hunters, backcountry hikers, snowmobilers, ice fishermen, preppers, military surplus collectors, and active-duty or veteran customers rebuilding their cold-weather kit. The A2 Krios is a known quantity in the tactical community, and demand for authentic PCU pieces consistently outstrips supply. Reenactors and loadout collectors building accurate modern SOF kits will recognize the piece on sight.

Condition and Authenticity

Marked as new. As genuine issue gear from the Beyond Clothing contract, this carries real provenance — not a copy, not an homage, the actual item built to the original specification. Fashion-forward customers drawn to the heritage-military and gorpcore aesthetic will also appreciate the ribbed grid texture and classic coyote tone as a layering piece.
