Swiss
Military Gray Wool Cold Weather Winter Cap – Used
The Swiss
Military Winter Cap (often associated with the K31 era) is a masterpiece of
Alpine engineering, designed for extreme thermal protection in the Swiss Alps. Known
for its unique "transformer" design, this cap can be worn as a
standard patrol-style cap or unfolded to provide comprehensive coverage for the
ears, chin, and neck. The signature blue-gray wool is thick, dense, and
naturally water-resistant, making it a favorite for bushcrafters, winter
hikers, and surplus collectors.
Constructed
from high-quality felted wool with a soft, synthetic fur or flannel
lining, this cap utilizes a multi-position snap system to adapt to rapidly
changing weather. Whether you need a simple brimmed cap for sun protection on
the snow or a full-coverage hood for a blizzard, this genuine Swiss surplus
item delivers world-class insulation and durability.
