Up until recently, the Austrian Bundesheer dressed very traditionally and their field caps looked like something straight out of Afrikakorps. With the new Anzug 03 ensemble, that all changed and this is the latest winter issue field cap.

Up until recently, the Austrian Bundesheer dressed very traditionally and their field caps looked like something straight out of Afrikakorps. With the new Anzug 03 ensemble, that all changed and this is the latest winter issue field cap.
The design is rather low-profile and light, these are not thick and furry for standing guard but meant for active business in the cold.
The outer fabric is tightly woven 67/33 poly-cotton to keep the wind from blowing through. The cap is lined with mesh for insulation and has a foldable, fleece-lined flap to cover both ears and the neck. The visor is often folded to a fashionable angle.
Size info
The sizes run small, probably due to washing shrinkage. We recommend choosing one size step (1 cm or 1/8") up instead of your usual size. The fit is affected, of course, depending on if you wear the cap with the flap extended or folded most of the time.
Condition
Used, still perfectly serviceable, not too faded or anything. The shrinkage may vary between individual caps and the visor is often folded.
Austrian surplus
Functional, neutral, clean. That's what the Austrian Bundesheer gear is made of. Our Austrian surplus revolves mostly around the Anzug 75 and Anzug 03 clothing systems, but who knows, maybe the "Tarnanzug Neu" will make it's appearance if the Austrians decide to clear the stocks in the future. Get your OD gear while the stocks last.
After the Second World War the Austrian soldier looked like a weird mixture of Allies and Germans; the M1 style helmet and general profile really tried to bring that NATO vibe up, but a lot of the gear and even the dotted camouflage pattern looked surprisingly much like WW2 German issue. In the 70s they took a major leap towards NATO with the introduction of the all-green Anzug 75 clothing and equipment system closely inspired by the American equivalents, finally letting go of the "old stuff". The Anzug 03 brought the game up to date with some changes in effort to modernize the whole thing. Now the Bundesheer is again moving over to camouflage.
