Description

A fleece jacket offers breathability and insulation as a mid-layer in the cold and as a standalone jacket in milder weather. Here's some Austrian surplus with maximum breathability thanks to not having any kind of membrane.

The jacket works as a standalone jacket, not just a mid-layer. It has reinforced shoulders and elbows, patch and insignia locations on the sleeves and chest, and a hidden pocket and front pockets all with zippers. The front zipper is two-way with a flap on the back.

Most of the jacket has a single layer of fabric but the collar has four (!) layers as far as we can tell by feel. It folds easily out of the way so if there's a part of a garment that offers effective protection and ventilation as necessary, it's this one. Some of these have ventilation zippers in the armpits but many don't.

The hem is fairly short for an army jacket. Presumably, the idea is to keep it out of the way when wearing a battle belt and in the big picture, the Austrian thermal pants are bib-type to compensate.

Size info

These are not oversized as usual, but fit more like a sweater.

These are made in various widths and lengths. The Austrian Bundesheer size is in the brackets with regular numbers for the width and Roman numerals for the length.

The size conversions and recommendations are based on our measuring work, customer feedback, and naturally wearing these ourselves. Don't get hung up on the numbers, though: surplus clothes often have variation.

Pay attention! The numbers are recommended body measurements, not garment measurements!

Austrian surplus

Used but serviceable condition. It appears some of these have seen a hot wash at some point: the trims are not that elastic anymore and the fabric isn't always as fuzzy, airy, and soft as on new jackets. Nothing is broken, however, these are still good to go for a long time. Made in Austria or Spain (Fecsa).
