This is an original Soviet pilot camel wool jumper in exceptional Supergrade surplus condition.
Cold War Flight Protection
Originally issued to Soviet Air Force (VVS) pilots, this pullover was made for sub-zero cabin conditions. It was also issued to mountain troops and elite units for cold-weather operations. Made under Soviet GOST standards at the Podolsk factory, it acts as a tough mid-layer for modern winter hiking, bushcraft, and outdoor work.
Natural Insulation Properties
The jumper is made from natural camel wool blended with acrylic to prevent shrinking. Unlike synthetic fleece, this dense knit breathes naturally, manages sweat, and insulates even when damp. The sand-beige colour represents the natural shade of undyed camel hair, giving it a classic and timeless vintage appearance.
Heavy-Duty Utility Design
Built for active wear under flight gear, it features a high-ribbed mock collar that protects the neck from cold. Elastic cuffs and hem seal out freezing wind during movement. The heavy-gauge weave is naturally elastic, letting you stretch and work comfortably without losing the garment's shape.
Equip yourself with a reliable piece of Soviet aviation history for your next cold-weather outing.
This item was issued to the Russian Airforce during the Late Cold War (1961–1991) and remains in Supergrade condition. It is unissued original surplus, but may have minor dust or storage marks from warehouse storage. We recommend giving it a wash or airing it out before wearing.
Supergrade is our highest condition rating for genuine military surplus. Items in this category are in near-new, top-tier condition and have seen little to no field use.
- Origin: Typically unissued reserve stock, trial gear, or kit issued but never actively deployed.
- Fabric & Materials: Crisp, fully intact, and structurally perfect with original color vibrancy and no fading.
- Hardware & Fastenings: Zips, press studs, hook-and-loop closures, and buckles operate like new with no functional wear.
- Markings & Repairs: No holes, tears, repairs, or personalized user markings. Factory issue labels and faint depot storage stamps may be present.
- Storage & Scent: May show minor creasing or light dust from transit. Like most authentic military surplus held in long-term dry storage, items may carry a faint warehouse scent that clears easily with a quick first wash or air-out.
