5th Special Forces Group - The Legion Thirty-nine days after 9/11, teams from the 5th Special Forces Group deployed to the mountainous region of Afghanistan, along the Hindu Kush. The weather was atrocious - sandstorms, black clouds of hail, snow and ice - changing with each mile they traveled, and elevation to elevation. Yet they persevered together, carrying the hopes of the American people, and were victorious. "Strength and Honor" is the mantra of the 5th Special Forces Group. We honor their legacy. Our new Task Force Dagger Polartec fleece jacket pays homage to the jackets that were worn by those Special Forces units 20 years ago, and even uses the same Polartec 300 weight fleece. In 1981, PolartecA(R) changed the game for cold weather performance apparel with the invention of polar synthetic fleece. With greater resiliency, lightweight warmth and fast dry times, it remains the industry standard for performance outerwear and breathable fleece jackets.
