Dutch Snow Camo Parka, Surplus

Price 9.99 USD excluding sales tax

Although the Netherlands isn't exactly known for white winters, this naturally didn't stop them from developing a snow suit. The Dutch vision of a snow camo parka is a long hem, thin polyester jacket of a very simple design. Nothing new under the sun, but this works alright and costs nearly nothing at all.

Dutch Snow Camo Parka, Surplus.

Although the Netherlands isn't exactly known for white winters, this naturally didn't stop them from developing a snow suit. The Dutch vision of a snow camo parka is a long hem, thin polyester jacket of a very simple design. Nothing new under the sun, but this works alright and costs nearly nothing at all.

First, a note about snow suits in general is in order: these are meant first and foremost only as camouflage layers. Their insulation value is comparable to that of a polyester collared shirt. For this reason the snow suits are cut very large to fit over everything else a soldier might have to wear, and that can be a lot, even in the Netherlands.

This parka style jacket closes with large buttons and a roomy hood. Tie-string adjustments can be found on the waist and sometimes on the hem, unless the previous owner has removed them. The sleeve cuffs have elastics or not. There's false pockets on the sides for accessing your jacket under the parka.

Materials and care

Made of thin polyester or polyamide, depending on the year of manufacture. It holds up decent, doesn't really soak up moisture like cotton and dries very fast. The garment weighs very little and packs very small.

Machine wash in 40 degrees Celsius. Hang dry.

Size info

These come in two size systems: NATO sizes (the ones with a lot of numbers) and US style sizes (Small, Medium and Large):

The NATO sized garments tend to be true to the height and chest sizes given. When you pick a size that should fit you, it will, and you can fit your whole wardrobe under it too.

US style sized garments have some heavy variation in their sleeve length and a bit on the hem length too - some of these are from the Olden Days when the Dutch figured that the sleeves should not reach all the way to the wrist but end up somewhere along the forearm. Go figure, but it's not a deal breaker in a simple camo garment like this. This is why these cost less!

Condition

Genuine army surplus, in used but serviceable condition. As you can probably guess, everything shows on whites, so expect signs of use. However we can safely say that none of these is predominantly brown. There might also be repairs, missing drawcords and all that. Fortunately you will probably not wear these at weddings anyway... or?

Valkoisia pukuja on todella vaikea löytää. Yksinkertainen malli ja kangas liukasta, mutta toimii varapukuna hylkeenpyynnissä.

Todella simppeli takki ja sellaisena aika pomminvarma ilman vetoketjuja yms. Erittäin siisti, ei tahroja ja hupun, vyötärön sekä helman kiristysnauhat tallessa. Hihansuissa resorit. Reilut läpiviennit alla olevan asusteen taskuille. Liukas materiaali ei lunta kerää, kastumaan saa lähinnä veden kanssa. Ohuena erittäin kevyt, vaikuttaa silti kestävältä matskulta. Tähän hintaan vastinetta rahalle enemmän kuin riittävästi.

I had an old heavy cotton German army snow poncho. Now that I have this Dutch stuff, when I wear my parka it´s like I am a polar bear in a snow storm. As long as I wear it when there is snow. And it is light weight so I am fast. Super fast. Like a polar bear on a baby seal fast. I bought the pants too. Otherwise I would be Polar up top and grizzly down below. Now I am a pure polar bear with clawed paws prowling for my prey!!
