KEY FEATURES
The Austrian Army M65 Olive Drab Parka is a genuine cold-weather military field jacket.
Cold War Combat Heritage
This genuine Austrian Bundesheer field jacket, officially designated as the Feldjacke I from the classic Anzug 75 combat uniform system, was introduced in 1975. Designed for alpine soldiers facing freezing winds, it is built with a double-layered 65/35 polycotton blend. This tight weave creates a natural barrier against harsh wind and light rain without needing a separate liner.
Built for Tough Terrain
Every detail of this parka serves a survival purpose. The concealed button-down flaps on the four main cargo pockets prevent snagging on thick branches. A heavy-duty metal zip is protected by a wide buttoned storm flap to block biting drafts, while the adjustable cuffs and dual waist drawcords let you trap body heat. This makes it ideal for rugged bushcraft or damp forestry work.
Premium Supergrade Utility
Offered in exceptional Supergrade condition, these parkas are often unissued surplus, meaning you get maximum service life. The jacket is finished in the Austrian military's classic RAL 7013 olive-brown shade, which blends perfectly into forest landscapes. It includes a stowaway hood zippered inside the collar, giving you immediate shelter when unexpected rain storms blow in.
Equip yourself with a legendary Austrian field parka and face your next outdoor challenge with confidence.
This item was issued to the Austrian Army 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.
