Austrian Thermal Pants, Olive Drab, Surplus, Unissued
Will you look at that! The Varusteleka Surplus Special Operations Group succeeded in a perilous infiltration to a secret winter trouser refinery in the Alps, and scored some unissued Bundesheer gear. We've had these thermal pants available before, but this new lot is unissued stuff!

Size info
The pants are roomy, and the inseams are short on purpose: these are worn with winter boots, and excess length is undesirable. Don't pick a too large size!
These are made in various widths and lengths – just like jeans! The Austrian Bundesheer size in the brackets uses regular numbers for the width and Roman numerals for the length. Even in the case of pants, the width is based on chest size, as is common in Europe. The assumption is that a regular man will have a waist 12 cm (~5") smaller than his chest.
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 waist sizes below are recommended body measurements! The actual pants are larger for clearance.

Austrian Bundesheer surplus

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.

Haisi aivan kamalalta kun saapui ja peseminen ei auttanut, piti laittaa kaasu kaasu kammioon (otsonointi).
