Austrian Army Anzug 03 Field Jacket & Pants

45
Community noted

A plain-colored field jacket and pants set issued to the Austrian military, resembling civilian hiking gear, sold as surplus.

Why it's buy-it-for-life

One owner's 2005-dated jacket was still in super condition after 20 years and is expected to last another 25-30; another redditor calls the set comfy, cheap, and durable.

    I picked up a super condition Austrian field jacket which has '2005' on the label. It's 20 years old and probably will last me another 25-30 years.
