The collar can be lifted up to cover the whole neck.
There's a surprisingly un-bad little hood hidden inside the collar.

Snap adjustment with an elastic band.
Thin lining on the inside, along with an inside pocket on both sides. Also note the drawcord adjustment on the waist.
All of the outer pockets have snap closure.
Are you ready for your new identity? Looks like virtually all of the jackets have the Austrian Bundesheer patch on the arm.
Wash in 60 degrees Celsius. But we think 40 will do. The tags basically say you shouldn't wash unless necessary, as each thorough wash will affect the breathability/waterproofness thingies.

Austrian Bundesheer Gore-Tex (or Sympatex!) jacket. Cut very much like the US M65 field jacket, but is water- and windproof. An excellent fall/winter jacket with practical features and nice nonchalant colour scheme. In unissued condition!
- A sturdy shell jacket with good pockets and a hood
- Gore-Tex or Sympatex membrane
- Generous cut widthwise: if you're between two sizes and want the coat for casual use, the smaller might be better.
Zipper & snap closure, four front pockets with snap closure, a stow-away hood and generous cut, these are meant as the top layer. The membrane is squeezed between two outer layers. Other than that, these don't have any lining whatsoever. However these are roomy; it's up to the user to dress accordingly.
These usually have a velcro name tag base on the chest and Bundesheer logo on the arm, or traces of one.
Material
The composition of the outer fabric varies, it can be either 50/50% polycotton, 65/35% polycotton or 100% polyester. The membrane is either Gore-Tex or Sympatex, these are essentially the same. 100% polyester lining.
Size info
First the easy size, then the user's recommended height and chest circumference in centimetres or inches. These are a tad oversized to accommodate stuff underneath.
The Austrian size system is explained in detail on our Austrian jacket size chart page. If you are already familiar with Austrian sizing and want to know how we came up with the easy sizes, below is our logic as a chart. All possible sizes in the chart are not manufactured of course.
| Width / Height | Short | Regular | Long | X-Long |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| X-Small | 80-84 I-II | 80-84 III-IV | 80-84 V-VI | 80-84 VII-VIII |
| Small | 88-92 I-II | 88-92 III-IV | 88-92 V-VI | 88-92 VII-VIII |
| Medium | 96-100 I-II | 96-100 III-IV | 96-100 V-VI | 96-100 VII-VIII |
| Large | 104-108 I-II | 104-108 III-IV | 104-108 V-VI | 104-108 VII-VIII |
| X-Large | 112-116 I-II | 112-116 III-IV | 112-116 V-VI | 112-116 VII-VIII |
| 2X-Large | 120-124 I-II | 120-124 III-IV | 120-124 V-VI | 120-124 VII-VIII |
| 3X-Large | 128-132 I-II | 128-132 III-IV | 128-132 V-VI | 128-132 VII-VIII |
NOS Austrian army surplus
Never issued, tried on at worst. Of course these have also been stored for a while.

Buy one of these RIGHT NOW! They will disappear fast, and I promise you won't regret it.
I bought one from the used surplus listing, and was incredibly lucky and recieved an unissued one. Having the 100% guarantee of receiving an unissued one makes this an incredible deal, worth every penny.

I got one of these from here, although it was surplus instead of unissued. Fantastic jacket and more stylish than it has any right to be, although it is quite long. If you want it to fit more like a normal field jacket, I'd order one size shorter than is recommended.
Edit: I'm 6'3 and 180lb, the Medium Regular is what I wear.

I bought this jacket last year from a different supplier. I loved it. Even though it was sized for a much shorter armed and more round body shaped person.
I gave that jacket away and bought one for my size, I love it.
Buy one of these now, they are amazing. Hell, buy two.
I'm 6'1" 190 lb. Med-long is great.

What a fantastic jacket!
Modeled after the American M65 jacket but of a much better quality, with a membrane to boot!
The jacket was pristine except for a shiny spot where the fabric over a snap button had been rubbed or pressed in storage. I am sure that would buff right out.
I got a 50/50 poly cotton jacket and here are some details not covered in the product description:
Main zipper with double sliders installed on the left hand side, European style.
The sleeve cuff straps are elasticized with snap buttons, with the straps retracting back into their respective tunnels when released: nothing to dangle here.
No Velcro on this jacket other than the loop field on the right chest for a name tag.
The backs of the shoulders have a ‘bi-swing’ construction to allow ease of movement.
The insides of the sleeve cuffs and hem have a 7cm wide strip of synthetic material to prevent water from wicking up the sleeves and body of the jacket.
The larger lower front pockets are lined(!) Compared this to any M65 jacket or British smock.
Two inside pockets secured with zippers.
No provision for any button-in liners — wear a sweater if you need to.
I was able to carefully remove the patch sewn onto the left sleeve (no disrespect to the patch or what it represents). I suggest you use a seam ripper to break every few stitches on the top of the patch, and then pull to break the the intervening stitches. I don’t suggest inserting the seam ripper between the patch and the fabric of the sleeve in case you poke the fabric, even though it’s easier to see the thread below the patch.
I had thought I would need give the jacket a spritz with a waterproof spray. But I tested it by sticking sleeve under a tap and the water just rolled off the fabric. The original factory treatment is still good.
Yes, you should get one too if they have one in your size.

I have ~185cm height, ~100cm chest, slender built, long arms and legs. I took "Medium-Long" size for me (it fits perfectly) and "X-Large-Regular" for my father (~180cm height, ~125cm chest - also fits perfectly).
My father got version from 2000 with Gore-Tex. I got 2001 version with Sympatex. Both 50%/50% polycotton, new, with tags. Mint condition, as described. There are some minor differences between these two versions but general quality, design, look and feel are the same. You can't go wrong with any of them!
"Medium-Regular" size would be a little bit too short for me (mostly in arms length) because I am going to use this jacket over my thick wool jackets, like M39 Swedish uniform to protect them from heavy rains (I hate umbrellas).
General fit of this jacket is great! It looks fantastic! Shoulders fits perfectly. There is also enough room in armpit area. Waist cord adjustment is perfectly on my waist line. Generally, I am very impressed by design and sizing system. This jacket is not only practical but also stylish! I love combination of these two attributes in one garment. Probably only "classical" military outfits like this one can do both at the same time! Colour is superb: brownish green - very unique and blends nicely with everything.
To sum it up: it was truly bargain to got such quality gear for such money!
PS
When I was writing this review "Small & Medium-Regular" sizes are already gone, but if you like jackets which can reach almost half of your thigh length (like very short coat) and help to protect your family jewels and butt from the elements - get longer version! You won't regret it!

Erittäin mukavan tuntuinen päällä, ei natise eikä kahise. Koot erittäin reiluja, olen 173 cm pitkä, 112cm rinnanympäryksen omaava (vyötärö 100cm) ja koon Medium Short takki on juuri sopiva (myös hihanpituuden osalta), alle mahtuu vielä helposti paksu Fleece-takki/jokin vuori/paksu villapaita ilman ahtauden tunnetta.

183cm, 100kg. Rinnanympäryksen puolesta medium olisi noppa nappa sopiva. Tilasin mediumin ja koot on todella reiluja ja takit on isoja minulle.
Palautuksen syy on kuitenkin hupun pienuus. Pään päälle laitettuna hyvä jos peittää edes hiusrajaan asti eli huipusta ei ole sateella paljon hyötyä. Mikä järki valmistaa kalvotakkia jos huput niissä on näin pieniä?
Takit erittäin siistissä kunnossa ja käyttämättömiä. Vuoden 2007 leima oli ainakin omissani.
Eli jos pieni huppu ei haittaa, niin tämä voi olla loisto takki sinulle (koot tosiaan reiluja). Omaan käyttöön ei kuitenkaan sovi.

I have one of these I ordered somewhere else (Varusteleka didn't have them at the time). It is a PHENOMENAL jacket! It's everything I have always loved about the US M65 jacket, but actually waterproof (the M65's main downfall). The quality is great, there are a ton of pockets, and it looks cool. It has the dumb fold-out hood in the collar, but it is easy to cut out.
Highly recommend!
