Austrian Army Mountain Sweater

[BootneckSteve]

I got one of the Mil-Tec ones that arrived this week, its excellent quality and amazingly warm. And now its here the summer weather has started here in NI where I live! I got mine from a German ebay seller. I'm almost hoping for the winter so I can test it out!

Dachstein is a region of Austria, known for boiled wool, much like Sheffield is for knives.

Handy little titbit that mate. I always thought Dachstein was a brand

I bought one of these last week. It's a great jumper. Massively thick and well put together. It came up a bit tight on me especially round the gut (not very flattering). The chest size was about right.

Here's the link......they still have stock. Clicky.

In the end I went with one of the ex-Austrian army ones from (the excellent) endicotts. I got one of the full zip versions and its brilliant.

Two in stock here size 96 though, not a bad price.

Eee, when I were a lad, it was Dachstein mitts for winter climbi g and nothing else, then along came that new fangled Goretex and synthetic fibres and all manner of things, but I still use regularly a pair of Dachstein Gloves, not mitts, which are a top quality warm glove however wet you get.
Needed a lie down after I saw the price if the sweaters in the link above though !
