I need to replace my winter parka. What's worthwhile bang for my buck regarding arctic surplus/retail jackets? I was considering an N3B for the lined snorkel hood but if there's a better choice I'd like to hear it. Thank you.

Alright, I'll make a thread there too. I figured someone here might have had experience with the N3B or other parkas.

The goretex flecktarn parka w/ liner is pretty good

I'll check it out, thanks

I have a surplus N3B, it's kickass but it looks kinda weird. Mine is a medium and pretty big but that's good for layers...not that you need that many with a jacket like this. It's like wearing the top half of a sleeping bag so it's really fuckin cozy.
There are two hand warmer pockets above where the guy in op's pic has his hands which are nice. Once you zip the hood up all the way you can just sit outside in a snowstorm while being toasty, it's pretty awesome. Also it's not waterproof.

There are differences in years though...
>Nylon Shell, wool insulation, real (wolf or coyote) fur trim (50's-60's)
>Cotton shell, wool insulation, real (wolf or coyote) fur trim (60's-70's)
>Cotton shell, polyester insulation, synthetic fur trim (70's+)

Mine has the cotton shell, polyester insulation, and synthetic fur trim. I don't have the wool to compare, and although wool would be nice to have, my jacket is already quite heavy and it's plenty warm. And since the fur is synthetic, it's not as soft

Check the Kommando Store, they should have no less than 5 different milsurp parkas, all of which are relatively cheap for winter coats.
