British CS95 fleece jacket, olive green, surplus
Loading products...










British fleece jacket of the Combat Soldier 95 system. The newer green model. A great liner for a shell jacket but can also be worn on its own.
The Combat Soldier 95 was a complete overhaul of the clothing system and was based on layered clothing. Originally made in DPM, the army soon realized that fleece clothes were not usually worn as the top layer, and thus were soon produced in olive green. Well suited for civilian use, as green is a neutral colour and looks good anywhere, anytime.
Fleece has poor IRR characteristics, so it would be a waste of effort to print it with any pattern: you'd be a shiny beacon as soon as someone uses cheater goggles. In some tests the reflective qualities were found to be the same as viewing a Scottish man's hairy arse with a thermal scope.
Essentially a light jacket
Despite the classification as a liner, this feels a lot like a real jacket. Zipper closure on the front, two hem pockets, drawstring in the hem, and thumbholes in the cuffs. If it's not really that cold outside, this is a nice light walking out jacket.
Material and care
Fleece as a material is perfect for cold and wet places. It is highly breathable, water repellent, quick drying and serves as good replacement for wool. Wash in 40 degrees Celsius. Air dry only.
Fleece has one weak point: as it's made of synthetic materials, it catches fire rather easily.
Size info
Sizes simply by user's recommended height and chest circumference in centimetres. Divide by 2,54 for inch conversion.
Used military surplus
Used, but in good serviceable condition. A few model variations exist, but the function is the same, so we don't differentiate.

tässä vanhemmassa on villaresorit hihansuissa ja kauluksessa; uudemmassa mallissa on korkea kaulus, jossa vetoketju ylös asti ja hihansuissa ei uudemmassa mallissa ole resoreita, vain kuminauhakiristys ja peukalonreikä, mikä löytyy vanhemmanmallinkin hihansuiden resoreista. Vähän makuasia kumpi on parempi, ja voi olla merkitystä jos on villalle allerginen. Vanhassa mallissa ei ole korkeaa kaulusta antamassa suojaa. Minun makuuni vanhempi malli on mieluisampi, koska en pidä vuoritakissa korkeasta kauluksesta, vaan hoidan kaulan suojauksen muuten ja villaresorit hihoissa ovat mukavamman tuntuiset kuin pelkkä kuminauhakiristys. Ja tätä ei kannata hankkia kovin suurena, sillä koot ovat reiluja, minulla on vatsaa karvan päälle metri ja sovitin 180/96 puseroa ja oli juuri sopiva, hieman väljäkin ja pituuteni on vajaa 180. Eli max.
rinnanympärykseen voi lisätä viisi senttiä ja katsoa, että oma rinnanympärys on suunnilleen sama kuin lisätty rinnanympärys,
niin ollaan hyvin lähellä optimi kokoa. Leka saisi yhden tähden lisää, jos nämä fleecet olisi lajiteltu uudempiin ja vanhempiin.

Nyt tilasin Särmän fleece-takin, jossa ei näytä olevan kiristäviä hiharesoreita, voi sopia paremmin toimistoon.

Arrived in like-new condition, hardly seems used at all. Material feels comparable to a jacket I have from another outdoor supplier, which cost several times more. I received the version without two-tone knit cuffs (the 2nd + 3rd pics) and is far more "civilian" looking, which is great.

It is very difficult to find good military surplus that fits tall people. Luckily, I found Varusteleka!
