Austrian Field Jacket W. Membrane, Surplus
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.

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.
- 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
These are a tad oversized to accommodate stuff underneath.
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 measurements!
Width Size | Bundesheer Size | Chest (cm) | Chest (inches) | Men's EU Size |

Condition
In used but serviceable condition and repaired when necessary. Although we can't give any 105 % waterproofness guarantees in diving conditions for used membrane rainwear, these should do just fine.
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.

Mine came without the waist strap... no problem but to fix it was a puzzle as the waist strap itselve was also missing,
but solved so here is the solution if you also find the waist strap missing:
Down at the bottom of the jacket are two little holes, two open parts that have not been sewed...
Wrap the coat inside out through the hole, until you find a blue(ish) section: that is the part where the waist strap must be inserted.
Insert the waist strap with a safety pin until you feel its inside the horizontal lining around the waist of the coat.
Squeeze until you reach the other end of the jacket.
The Goretex is a liner that is sewed all over the inside of the jacket. But directly next to the blue(ish) section there is a tiny hole in the Goretex,
That is where the waist strap must go through to get to the right side of the inside of the jacket.
Then it's a quest to find the iron hole where the strap must go in, repeat on the other side.

Lining were not sewed too good at the bottom, either a poor repair or too fast sewing first time, but was easily repaired by hand. Other than that, the jacket including the zipper looked brand new and flawless

Mine arrived in very good condition with no stains or rips in the seams. The fabric is durable and the zippers and snaps all were in working order. It did appear that the sleeve snaps on one side closed a bit tighter than on the other, but this was not a big issue as it was just on the smallest snap, which I do not use. Overall I am very happy with this jacket and would recommend it for a friend.

I'd also reconsider this jacket if you're a fairly slim person; I ordered 88-92 I-II and the jacket runs large on me (especially the sleeves), even when layered on! This might be a better fit for more muscular or fatter people though, YMMV.

The jacket itself feels very sturdy and warm. It also looks very cool
