Genuine Issue Surplus
KEY FEATURES
This original German Army wool scarf is a genuine military cold-weather neck warmer.
Bundeswehr Cold-Weather Issue
Issued to the German Bundeswehr for field service during cold European winters, this scarf was built to keep soldiers warm on active duty. Its dense ribbed knit structure traps pockets of warm air close to the skin while blocking cold draughts, delivering dependable thermal protection on open ground.
Breathable Wool Blend
Made from a tough 80% wool and 20% polyamide blend, the fabric gives you natural heat retention with added strength. Wool stays warm even when damp, wicks neck moisture away, and resists sparks around the campfire, making it far more reliable than standard synthetic fleece scarves.
Low-Bulk Field Versatility
Measuring approximately 120cm by 30cm, this scarf wraps comfortably around the neck and tucks neatly under combat smocks, field jackets, or work coats. Its low-profile build stops bunching under collars, providing practical warmth for hiking, bushcraft, or daily winter wear.
Add this genuine military surplus wool scarf to your cold-weather kit for proven outdoor warmth.
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.
