Hi Guys.

Picked up this Parka in the week.

Can't wait for the winter now so I can check out how effective it is....

All comments as ever most welcome

Label inside of Parka

I have a question which I hope someone can help me with,on the outer edge of the hood,there is poppers and velcro,I guessing this is to fit a fur trim e.g like on an M65 Parka....I am a million miles off on this one,I've not seen any evidence of a fur trim being fitted to these Parka's ,but I can't think what else would attach on the poppers/velcro?????

All help would be greatly appreciated...cheers

Wow, I can't even find these very easily here in the States. Nice find, Gary!

Thanks Ben.

Really, that surprises me,I thought they would be readily available in the States!....As I said I am well chuffed with this one

Every now and again I get a great deal on ebay,I guess I just got lucky with this one

Now what you should find is one of the brown polypro quarter-zip shirts. Kind of like the British-issue Norgies, but in a different material. Then you'll be on your way to handling anything Old Man Winter can dish out.

Hi Ben.

Good tip ,I will keep an eye out for one of these, the British winter will indeed be a test of this combo

I wore it today in the rein today,and can vouch for it's weather resistance

And I have seen them on ebay too....but they are like £70 B.I.N...way to much cash...for a tight wad like me

I meant in the local surplus stores.

Regard yourself lucky to have a surplus store. I have to travel more than 200 miles for the next good one!
