Materials
The outer fabric is 70/30 polyester/cotton, the exact same material used in the latest production runs of the official issue uniforms. Naturally the camo print is totally NIR compliant, so you don´t need to fear looking all lit-up when viewed through NVDs. The lining is 100% polyester.
This modern hollowfiber is also used by the US military and Crye in their cold weather gear. Our M05 cold weather garments are filled with 100 g/m2 Climashield Apex, this gives great insulation and warmth whilst still keeping weight to a minimum. The "real" issue CW clothing is made with outdated 70¨s polyester stuffing, Climashield is approx. a hundred times better than that old junk.
Sizing
Straightforward Small, Medium, Large and Short, Regular, Long etc. sizes with corresponding official FDF size number and recommended user measurements (chest circumference and length in centimeters) in brackets.
These are generously sized to accommodate warm base and mid layer clothing. The M05 cold weather parka was designed for wear over warm mid layers and even the standard camo uniform. Using waist and hem drawstring the jacket can easily be adjusted for a custom fit.
Sewn in Estonia
These are sewn in Estonia, by an experienced factory that has a long history of producing clothing for military, law enforcement and emergency services.
