Almost immediately after our Alpenflage parkas arrived, the crowds of casserole-camo obsessed surplus enjoyers demanded we get more. Well, ask and you shall receive.
In fall and early winter foliage, Alpenflage excels. It was designed to match the conditions of the swiss alps, so there's no better time of year to don it. Outside of it's function as camouflage, it's gained massive popularity in the secondhand surplus market since it became available in the 90s.
Like the parka, it's main party piece is the absurd pockets. The extra-large cargo pockets on the pants have internal dividers for magazines and higher up on the pants there's thru-pockets to access layers underneath. The cargo pockets are so robust they can handle heavier objects like grenades being shoved in, because if you're in the swiss alps, what the hell are you doing without your 4 frag grenades, amirite? Don't be afraid to really jam-pack them full of goodies for your pizza-camo fueled expeditions.
They're made out of the same durable machine-washable nylon/cotton mix as the parka, has reinforced knees, straps on the legs to adjust for sizing and compression, and built-in blousing straps. Additionally, they feature some of the best suspenders in the surplus world, a robust zippered fly, and snaps to adjust the waist size.
Specs
- Durable, machine-washable cotton/nylon mix
- Five buttoned fly
- Two large snap-secured cargo pockets with internal dividers
- front zippered thru-pockets
- One back pocket
- Built-in boot blousing straps

Sizing
Sizing for these pants is the typical Waist/inseam system, both in native metric sizing (disgusting) in centimeters, and glorious translated Imperial inches. Also to note is the adjustability of the suspenders which allows the pants to ride as high (or as low) as you'd like them to, and the waist snaps and fly buttons which allow the pant waist to be tightened or loosened depending on the users waist size.
Model is 6' tall, with a 34" waist. He wears a 46/80 comfortably.

Good

- Minor cosmetic blemishes, abrasions, or other signs of use. This includes fabric repairs done in the field.
- May exhibit writing and/or markings, including rank, serial numbers, etc.

Silly Pants
Great quality, cargo pockets can hold five white claws each, may wanna cut off the plastic knee layer cause they get a little sweaty there.
Other than that I love em to death
Great Quality
These pants are great for chilly weather and being a dork in the woods. Fit a little small on my hulking frame despite ordering a slightly larger size, but it still fits okay.
Blemished but acceptable
The pants fit well, probably should have opted for slightly longer ones but I still manage to blouse them comfortably, The suspenders tend to make them right a little higher than belted pants though which means a high knee has an opportunity to make them slip off the boot. The pattern is slightly worn, though it is kind of inconsistent with the knees appearing to almost be sewn on from a separate pair since they are so vibrant compared to the rest of the pants.
It also should be mentioned that maybe I got a fluke, but the fly is most certainly not zippered, it is just multiple rows of buttons for adjustable waist sizing, not a zipper in sight.
Overall okay.

Hey Joe, our apologies for the mix-up on the zippered fly- looks like webdev Ivan made a mistake on the specs section of the product page; that should be correct now to reflect the buttoned fly.
Thank you for the review of the pants! :)
