Cheap Czech surplus for chilly temps. The M85 parka from the Czechoslovakian Army is a monster of a coat, built for cold eastern Europe winters. A thick, button-in liner with a removable collar and hood allows the jacket to be adjusted appropriately for the climate you're in. Long, warm, winter-ready and wallet-friendly.
The M85 parka was part of the complete and functional clothing system to come out of the Eastern Bloc. With zip, button and drawcord fastening, the fit of the parka can be adjusted beyond that of your regular civilian jacket. This improved fit helps to retain more heat. On warmer days, the liner, collar and hood can be removed, leaving only the shell. A proven piece of military outerwear that has become a favourite among civilians.

I received an unused parka from 1990.
The only problem I have is that it
is so stiff/unflexable because no one wore it.
These are a great purchase for anyone looking for a 20 year + life jacket.
Negative things have been said about the zip.
If I have to replace it down the line
I will be super warm when I do.
I have a job that gets me out and about long before the sparrows wake up and will frequently have me out and doing into the evening. Coming home on a particularly cold evening, chilled to the bone, I decided I needed a warmer jacket. Trawling through the Army and Outdoor catalogue, I came across the Czech M85 Jacket. Knowing that Czechoslovakia does winter really well I decided to buy one. After I pressed all the buttons and sent the order away, I was immediately struck with “buyers remorse”. It was going to be too big, too small, too tatty and I’d never wear it. Wrong. It arrived surprising quickly, fitted perfectly and was brand spanking new, straight out of the box, and with the well fitting liner, very warm -just the job in fact. The conservative cut of it doesn't make it out of place in a civilian context without any garish colouring. I’m 5’7” and 43” round the middle, the "Large Regular" is a good fit, I could have got away with the “Long” version but am very happy with what I’ve got. The new brass zip was a little stiff at first, but running a soft pencil up and down it had the graphite lubricating it perfectly. Thank you Army and Outdoor, I don’t think I’ll be hanging the Czech M85 up much before summer.
Warm as! Fast delivery too!
Mint as. Warm as hell. Fast response and delivery. Awsome guys
This is one of the best Jackets I've owned very warm. Feels good to wear nice and heavy mine which is a large/long weighs around 3kg it is an excellent piece of gear.
