The Alpenflage Parka and Field Pants are a match made in heaven — a set of feature-rich (read: pocket-covered) gear built with swiss precision and quirky-ness.
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. In perhaps one of the biggest cults around a single pattern besides Flecktarn, Alpenflage is now a staple of countless surplus collections.
You're getting enough kit here to carry a serious load without wearing actual load bearing equipment. Basically anything you could stuff in one day pack you could instead distribute to the absurd amount of durable pockets and storage compartments on this set. And then you can add in more. Because you can. If you're a surplus collector or taking frequent trips innawoods I'm surprised your cursor hasn't already hovered over "add to cart". This one's a must.

Sizing
The parka is available in two different sizes, but thanks to the elastic in the waist and hip the parka can fit a variety of users. For example, we've had the size large parka fit users with a chest size between 34"-40" without issue, and fit users with a height of 5' 5" to 6' 0" comfortably.
Sizing for the 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 38" chest and a 34" waist. He wears a 46/80 size pant, and EU 52 size parka comfortably.
