This is one the most functional pieces of kit we've ever sold. A massive amount of time and testing went into the design and construction of these parkas. The amount of storage and functionality turn the intended wearer into a walking police station, and you into a guy that doesn't need a backpack anymore.
Thanks to meddling by the EU these Forest Green Polizei Parkas in all models are getting harder and harder to find, especially as demand for them continues to increase. Their quality is unheard of in an era of cost-cutting and material/construction outsourcing. This is a "buy it for life" item, and will last you many years if properly laundered and maintained.
This parka is a rare intersection of functionality and style thanks to unique features like the belt-accessible side zips (sized for a OWB holster) a detachable pocketed fleece liner, or depending on the generation a false pocket to access pants/belt accessories. Take a look at each generation and decide which one suits your needs best.
Note on the 1st & 2nd Gen Parka's false pocket - We tested a full size Glock 34 and found it could not be effectively drawn through the false pocket. If you are planning on carrying appendix in a Gen 1 or Gen 2 we recommend a compact handgun.

Very High Quality Parka, Big Man Certified.
This, is a very nice parka. I was looking for (essentially) a larger version of the SommerBlouson, as the SB is rather short on the torso for me (Long torso and fat) although funnily enough, it's perfect for kilts as the SB comes right below the Belly Button. So, I bought the Parka.
Pluses
- Very well built, with the inner liner attached I feel like it could stop a bullet
- Extremely warm, like sub-zero (F or C, shit, maybe even K) temperature rated. Make the Sommerblouson feel like a t-shirt.
- Looks extremely nice, feels very nice with the liner in.
- Smells like surplus, mmmmmm, mothballs.
Minus
Me, being a big man, have a hard time finding surplus. Yes, I am fat, but I am also broad. This, like most surplus, is narrow in the shoulders for me. However, when I take out the inner liner, it gives me much more space and makes it much wider, sadly still not perfect. In the waist, it's perfect. In the upper arms, it's a ittle tight, but I have big arms.
If they had a larger size (I ordered 60, the largest they had because german sizing is weird) I would have bought that. I'm still keeping it, unless they get big man sizing in the next month. All in all, very nice jacket. If you're normal sized, buy it now. If you're big man, buy it and call a tailor, because this is worth it.
