BW parka, Tropentarn, surplus

The standard field jacket used by the Bundeswehr in a nice desert theme. Tough as nails, functional cut, and smart features make this a perfect 3-season jacket.

The BW parka showcases Teutonic ability to make comfortable, stylish, and generally just really good clothes. Suitable for any outdoor activity, but also right at home in casual everyday use.

The Bundeswehr model parka is a longish, durable field jacket with zipper closure and four front pockets (two zipper-operated and two with snap fasteners), a sleeve pocket, and drawstrings in the hem, waist, and hood. Though unlined, the cotton used is pretty thick and blocks wind wonderfully. For additional warmth, the Germans use a separate liner jacket, which we also most likely sell when you read this. If we don't have it, just use something else!

The material is in most cases a mix of 65% cotton and 35% polyester.

Sizing info

Sizes in the regular Bunderwehr system, with sizes in the brackets (height/chest). If you are between sizes, round up.

Because BW jackets have relatively short sleeves, our designation is 5 cm shorter than the BW size. So if the BW size is 175-185 cm, for example, we say it's suitable for a 170-180 cm (5' 7" - 5' 11") tall person.

Used German surplus

In used but serviceable condition. Of course, being used, the colors might be a bit faded, and there might be some repairs, but all in all, these are all way better than just usable.
