Cheap Czech surplus for chilly temps. The M85 parka from the Czechoslovakian Army is a monster of a coat, built for cold eastern Europe winters. A thick, button-in liner with a removable collar and hood allows the jacket to be adjusted appropriately for the climate you're in. Long, warm, winter-ready and wallet-friendly.
The M85 parka was part of the complete and functional clothing system to come out of the Eastern Bloc. With zip, button and drawcord fastening, the fit of the parka can be adjusted beyond that of your regular civilian jacket. This improved fit helps to retain more heat. On warmer days, the liner, collar and hood can be removed, leaving only the shell. A proven piece of military outerwear that has become a favourite among civilians.
