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 wide & comfy suspenders, a robust zippered fly, and snaps to adjust the waist size.
Specs
- Durable, machine-washable cotton/nylon mix
- Five buttoned fly (has multiple columns for waist adjustment)
- Two large snap-secured cargo pockets with internal dividers

Sizing
Sizing for these pants is the typical Waist/inseam system, both in native metric sizing in centimeters (disgusting), 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.

Gud
The built in suspenders are a nice feature, as is the ability to tighten down the pant leg with straps and snaps.
Pleasantly Suprised in the cold War
I own the field jacket that goes with these Alpenflage field pants, so I had some expectation of the materials.
While there are no belt loops included the integral suspenders are surprisingly comfortable after getting used to using them.
The pants are setup perfectly for any one who wants something for the range but without being "tactical". The cargo pockets feature space for magazines and other dump-able items and the hand pockets are amazingly large.
Usually my phone, wallet, pocket knives and flashlight take up all of the pocket in my jeans. These pockets are large enough to keep all my normal junk and still allow me to put my hands in my pocket.
I will definitely consider getting another set or the rest of the Alpenflage items in the future,
Awesome
Took a lot of messing with to get them fitting how I want but once I figured it out it was all good. My new favorite pants
Mint condition
When they say “excellent condition” they really mean it.
