How about wicked cool winter pants of the Austrian technicolor troops? Ideal for infiltrating an 80s ski resort without attracting any unwanted attention. Warm and fuzzy like your first love. Act now and get quality pants for dirt cheap!
Features
Featurewise these are pretty traditional winter pants with suspenders and a button fly. Designed to be worn on top of your regular pants. These have both side pockets and openings through which you can access the pockets of the pants underneath or scratch yourself in a disturbing kinda way. Furthermore, they have buttoned cargo pockets. The legs have button adjustment, so they don’t flap in the wind when you chase the enemy agents on skis in the Alps.
Materials and care
There are thermal pants from different generations here, so the materials vary to some extent. On some of these, the shell fabric is 100% cotton, the lining 100% polyamide, and the padding 100% acrylic. On some, the shell fabric is 65/35 polycotton, lining polyamide, and padding polyester. There can be other options as well. Wash at 40 degrees Celsius. The pants have some sort of a water-repellent treatment that needs to be redone when the pants are washed. Since this is military surplus, we cannot guarantee how efficient the treatment is anymore anyway.
Use
These cold-weather pants are used when you don’t want your tender bits to turn blue. In appearance, they are a bit like adult-sized mud pants but they are at their best in winter use. The color is utterly delightful and guaranteed to cause envy wherever you go. Plus when you ski in the wilderness to go ice fishing with these on, the rescue party will find you before you even manage to get lost.
How to choose the right size
First you have the simple sixe and in the brackets the Austrian idea of sizing, which for some weird reason is the chest circumference even in pants. Behind the link, you will find more information on how to interpret the cryptic sizing.
Condition
Austrian military surplus. Some appear unissued and some have seen some use but they are all intact, clean and totally serviceable.

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.

Muuten olivat yläosastaan hiostavat ja alaosasta kylmät. Jaloista tuntui menevän pienikin pakkanen läpi. Materiaali oli pieni pettymys ja tuntui vastaavan enemmänkin ns. teekkarihaalaria kuin asiallista toppahousua. Toki ovat myös edulliset, mutta silti. Palautukseen meni.

I got a small short and a medium short.
They fit for boots so short is good but tight in the crotch for wearing with pants and the suspenders are short.
They are short on my GF who in 5'4.
The waist is for over the pants size. So if you are a 30w a 30w will have 3in more room.
The regular short is massive in the waist. At a 30w I can fit a fist on either side of my pants, with belt, leggings and underwear and it's still loose.
Stitching is good but lots of loose threads. A billion buttons, it's actually obscene how many buttons. Padding is quite light compared to modern snow pants but it's relatively dense, pliable, and soft on the inside.
Warm enough in -22c, no wind, with nothing under. Only out for 20min but I'll bet they are good to well lower with a base layer and a wind/rain pant over top. Would be great when doing some exercise in the cold

Elastic on the braces with the pair I received seems to be functional although being over 30 you might get elastic that's perished, the buckles on the braces are a weird clip in design where the upper portion has to be brung over the top of the bottom of the lower portion and clipped up into the base of it. Fit wise I found them to feel quite snug with all the various button adjustments undone over a pair of Anzug 03 trousers so maybe go up a size unless using as standalone trousers or just over long johns.
