Description
This is a German cold weather parka in Flecktarn camo. The heavy duty cotton and polyester fabric keeps the cold and wind out and is worn over the standard uniform or thermal layers. There are two chest pockets with button snap flaps and two zippered pockets on the waist. The cuffs are adjustable. Also, underneath the armpit of the sleeves is a zippered air vent, and there is a small arm pocket on the left sleeve. The parka is zippered with a buttoned storm flap. Along the waistline of the jacket is a adjustable drawstring for fit. The parka also has an adjustable hood. These parkas are longer than a typical American jacket and run past the waist about halfway to the knees depending on the size of the wearer.
These parkas are meant to be worn over other layers, such as a standard field top. With that, sizes are made for fit over those layers and parkas will fit loose if just worn over a shirt.
Sizes are listed in the German NATO size. All sizes have been converted into inches for chest measurements.

Brand new in package. Heavy duty material, no flaws, great fit. Can’t say a bad thing about it. [OK, I do wish the zipper was longer. It stops at the high waist, but I knew that.]. I am 5′ 10″, 200lbs, wear a 43-44 sport coat and I got a size 10. Can just fit a heavy fleece jacket underneath. Just what I wanted. Thx guys!
