BW "Woolpower Zip Turtleneck 200" Merino Wool Shirt, Green, Surplus

A high turtleneck shirt is just about the most practical shirt for cold and wet weather, and with the use of high quality merino wool it becomes perhaps the ultimate long sleeve undershirt ever made. These are used surplus from Bundeswehr – a one-off lot still in totally serviceable condition.

This turtleneck is designed as a base or mid layer garment, it functions just as well as a lone undershirt or with another shirt underneath. Add a heavier mid layer on top of this and you'll stay dry, warm and comfy even in the coldest arctic winters!

The cut is really smart, and the sleeves are generously long and end in elastic, thumbholed cuffs that keep your arms protected no matter how bad the weather gets. The collar is extra thick to provide good protection from the wind. The half-zipper not only makes getting in and out of the shirt easier, but it also gives you a quick way to adjust heat levels when you're getting hot with action.

Condition

These are high quality but used garments, so there are a few signs of use also. There might be some pilling on the parts that get the most friction, and some garments have well-made repairs that do not affect their function negatively. The laundry tags say most of these are made during 2016-2018, and there might be a few older but well preserved items in the lot also.

These come in two different colors, but we will do no further sorting, as the garments are otherwise the same. Some of the Woolpowers are in so-called Swedish green, while others have a grayish Feldgrau-type color.

German surplus

Made in Sweden, worn in Germany and probably on some missions at other places, too.
