Ever since the Prime minister of India launched the Atmanirbhar campaign it has gained immense popularity amongst various industrial sectors across the nation, maximizing opportunities. To boost the campaign OCF (Ordnance Clothing Factory) has played its part and launched an 'Extreme cold winter clothing system'. It took about seven years for the research and preparation of this indigenous clothing system, which claims protection against extreme cold temperatures ranging upto -50 degrees Celsius to the soldiers performing their duties in the harsh cold conditions.
Let us get into the core details to find out how this fully
'Swadeshi' clothing is made:
Earlier, the private sectors were approached to suffice
the need of such clothing. This is the first time that the government officials
have taken a lead to formulate this garment using all the native materials
under their guidance. The samples have been sent for the trials and
manufacturing will begin in full swing once approved. The research work for the
same began in 2013.
Three layer thermal insulation system:
The clothing system is developed with three layer thermal
insulation system. One finished garment weighs around 4.5 kg. Let us understand
each layer; the first layer or the inner layer ensures that the body
temperature is maintained, this layer is also termed as comfort layer as it
keeps the sweat at bay which helps the body to stay dry from inside. The second
or the middle layer ensures that the heat produced within the body is not lost,
this layer is called as insulation layer. The third or the outer layer is
termed as a projection layer, it protects the body from extreme cold winds,
snowfall and water. The best part about this clothing system is that it is
fully 'Swadeshi'.
