Full Description
This original Soviet MiG Pilot Angora Wool Jumper is a genuine piece of Cold War aviation history.
Cold War Aviation History
Originally issued to Soviet Air Force (VVS) flight crews, this knitwear was designed for high-altitude insulation. Manufactured in March 1991 at the historic Podolsk Knitting Factory, it served MiG-21 and MiG-29 pilots facing freezing cockpit conditions. This Grade 1 unissued surplus carries the authentic Cyrillic paper tag as proof of its genuine military origin.
Thermal Performance
The sweater features a specialised angora wool blend that offers unmatched warmth-to-weight ratio. Unlike stiff wool, the fibres are incredibly soft to the skin, providing itch-free comfort. The high-loft knit naturally traps dead air, creating a powerful thermal barrier that outperforms modern synthetic alternatives during stationary outdoor activities.
Functional Military Design
Built with a protective mock neck collar, the garment blocks cold drafts around the neck. The ribbed cuffs and hem are reinforced to prevent sag, keeping the silhouette snug under heavy winter jackets. This practical design makes it highly functional for bushcraft, camping, and winter hiking, where reliable body-heat conservation is critical.
Equip yourself with proven Cold War thermal gear for your next cold-weather excursion.
