Whether you're camping in crappy weather, hiking in storm season, or stalking warehouse-Ivan for loot drops, you're going to need a solid waterproof coat. The French CCE GoreTex Parka is just what you need.
Issued since the 1990s, the CCE (Camouflage Centre Europe) pattern blends into woodlands and mates perfectly with M81 and similar copies. It's great for stalking game, larping, and embarrassing yourself at family picnics. The GoreTex (or GoreTex-like) tri-laminate shell is waterproof, windproof, and breathable, keeping you dry without turning you into a salty sweat lodge. At under three pounds, it’s a tough PTFE membrane beast, resisting moisture, gunk and grease, and abrasions from branches, rocks, and the driveway under her car.
The cut’s generous for layering, suitable for cold weather and large gentlemen. A quick-release zipper and storm flap seal out the elements, while two front flap pockets and hidden map pockets keep your secret tools for later secure. The stowable hood fits over helmets and YAKUB brains, with an adjustable strap to cinch it tight. Armpit zippers vent heat (and stank), and sealed seams ensure no leaks.

Sizing
Parkas follow the standard French military sizing systems with the intended Chest circumference (88cm, 96cm, etc) followed by the length ("C" for short, "R" for regular, and "L" for long). We've found the parkas to run slightly large and long in order to accommodate layers underneath. In other words, if you're a Regular height, the Short size might just work for you.
Our model is 6'0", 40cm chest, 200lbs, and wears a 96C size comfortably.
Condition
Parkas are in like-new condition with no cosmetic blemishes, fully functioning hardware, and no signs of use.
