Genuine Issue Surplus
KEY FEATURES
The genuine Austrian Army Winter Cap is a classic cold-weather field hat issued to the Bundesheer.
Alpine Cold-Weather Heritage
Issued to the Austrian Bundesheer for winter alpine operations, this field cap was designed to shield soldiers from sub-zero mountain winds. The heavy-duty polycotton twill shell repels wind and light moisture, while the embroidered front red-white-red cockade denotes authentic Austrian military origin.
Quilted Insulation and Fleece Flaps
The interior features a quilted crown lining that retains body heat without adding excess bulk. Fold-down fleece-lined ear flaps protect your ears and neck during severe freezing conditions, and can be secured over the crown or under your chin using durable press-stud fasteners.
Tactical Field Utility
Integrated hearing ports on the ear flaps allow you to hear ambient sounds without exposing your ears to cold air. Metal ventilation eyelets on the crown prevent overheating during active movement, while the stiffened peak keeps snow, rain, and winter sun out of your eyes.
Stay warm on winter hikes, bushcraft trips, and cold outdoor work with original military protection.
This item was used by the Austrian Army during the Late Cold War (1961–1991) and is in Grade 1 condition. It is in very good condition with plenty of life left. We recommend giving it a wash before wearing.
