U.S.A.F. Olive Drab (OD) N-3B Snorkel Parka with Synthetic Fur (Small) – Used
The N-3B Snorkel Parka is the definitive extreme cold weather jacket, originally designed by the U.S. Air Force for flight crews and ground personnel operating in sub-zero Arctic conditions. Known as the "Snorkel Parka" due to the way the hood zips up to leave only a small opening for the eyes, it provides unparalleled protection against freezing winds and driving snow.
This specific model features an Olive Drab (OD) Green outer shell constructed from a heavy-duty flight silk nylon or cotton/nylon sateen, designed to be windproof and water-repellent. The hood is lined with soft pile and trimmed with synthetic fur, adhering to later military specifications that transitioned away from natural fur for easier maintenance and durability. As a Used surplus item, these parkas offer authentic vintage character and "battle-proven" warmth that modern commercial replicas struggle to match.
