Vintage Olive Drab (OD) Cotton N-3B Snorkel Parka – Used
Own a piece of military aviation history with the authentic Vintage U.S.A.F. N-3B Snorkel Parka. Originally issued to flight crews and ground personnel stationed in the most extreme sub-zero environments, this "Heavy Zone" parka is the definitive cold-weather garment of the mid-20th century. Unlike modern nylon versions, this vintage model features the classic heavyweight cotton sateen shell, prized by collectors and outdoor enthusiasts for its rugged durability, natural breathability, and iconic heritage aesthetic.
Designed to provide maximum thermal protection, the N-3B features a thick wool-pile or synthetic mid-layer and a full-length "snorkel" hood that zips up to leave only a small porthole for vision, effectively trapping warm air against the face. This NSN 8415-00-269-0677 (standard size example) parka shows its history through its character; while the shell and insulation remain mission-capable, the genuine coyote fur ruff on the hood shows significant age and damage, making this an ideal candidate for a restoration project or for those who prefer an authentic, "salty" field-worn look.
