Austrian Windstopper Fleece Jacket, Surplus

A damn nice-looking olive green Windstopper fleece jacket of the Austrian armed forces, Bundesheer. Comes with a high collar and a membrane designed to protect from wind and rain. Fits this strange modern weather like a fist in the eye, as we say in peace-loving Finland. Despite what the pictures show, these are mostly unissued!

Our customers who have served in the Austrian armed forces have told us these are the most commonly "misplaced" articles in the Bundesheer. That's who popular these are among demanding soldiers and we can't think of any better sales arguments!

Sizing

If you are into the skin-hugging design and don’t use the thumb holes, you can take one size smaller.

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 measur

Availability of special sizes
