The air force box lunch was an amazing sight to behold, bulging with all sorts of food, left the army box lunches to shame.
The stuff the Army issues is Excellent!

I crimp with the SOG -- I dont read memo's I dont like 
SF kit -- good when new -- unfortunately most are past their prime.
CADPAT FLEECE - WTF over -- since fleece is/is not an outer garment -- why bother? The Green worked well - and we could have saved millions - maybe got a good tacvest replacement

Although I do tend to agree....the CadPat fleece is softer and not as stiff as the old fleece. More comfortable in my opinioin.
And the SF kits are getting long in the tooth.
More good kit - The new helmet is a darn site better than the old M1 tin pot.
Coleman two burner.....our personal one is over 25 years old....still goes as if new.

The best thing the military ever issued me was a paycheck ;D
Always liked the old combat boots without any liner or anything, once they were worn in omg comfortable. I loved them so much. Haven't been re-enlisted to check out the new ones.

Comfortable CBRN gear??? It has to be a trick
Personally I like the arctic mitts that look like mukluks on your hands. Really good in the winter when you don't need to be doing anything that requires too much dexterity.
Though, to be fair, if I had a pair of properly-fitting winter gloves I'd probably be more content with those...
