KEY FEATURES
Instant answers from our depot guard dog (or route straight to our human crew).
These original East German lined winter trousers feature the classic Cold War Strichtarn raindrop camouflage pattern.
Cold Weather Thermal Insulation
Built for freezing field conditions, these winter combat trousers feature a thick diamond-quilted polyester insulation layer wrapped in a soft polyamide lining. The heavy-duty cotton-polyester outer shell blocks cold wind while maintaining high abrasion resistance during outdoor use.
Practical Field Storage and Utility
Designed for immediate practical utility, the trousers include two deep hip pockets and two button-flapped cargo thigh pockets for carrying essentials. Integrated internal metal D-rings allow easy attachment of military suspenders for heavy load-bearing support.
Adjustable Fit and Camouflage
The waist features a gathered elastic back section for a snug seal against cold drafts without restricting movement. Adjustable pebbled button ankle tabs let you cinch the cuffs tightly over winter boots, while the iconic Strichtarn rain pattern provides authentic Cold War camouflage.
Equip yourself with genuine Cold War military gear for your next cold-weather bushcraft trip, winter hike, or historical collection.
This item was used by the German 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.
Grade 1 represents solid, fully functional military surplus that has been deployed or issued but remains in great usable condition with plenty of life left.
- Functionality: 100% field-ready. All main zippers, press studs, drawstrings, and buckles work as intended with no critical faults.
- Fabric & Wear: Structurally sound with light cosmetic wear, minor abrasion, or subtle fading from normal military use and laundering.
- Markings & Personalisation: May feature soldier names, unit numbers, service markings, or light depot stamps written on tags or fabric.
- Repairs: May include neat, professional military-standard stitches or minor reinforcement patches that do not compromise gear integrity.
- Storage & Cleanliness: Gear is serviceable straight out of the box, though a standard initial wash or airing is recommended to clear typical military surplus storage scent and minor handling dust.
