Big Flecktarn Coats from Germany

[Bigrich]

Hi All,

Don't know if this is in the rightplace. I have struggled for years at various surpluss places int he UK to get a big enough flecktarn coat for my size - 6'8" and long armed - found a seller in Germany on ebay - he had a great stock including GR19 and 20 - communications were great. The coat and liner about 14 quid each, 9 euro postage - arrived in 4 days and like new. So a recommendation really for the following seller on ebay and for any big guys who struggle to find the right sizes here.

No affiliation with the seller, just really pleased with service and quality of the jacket

Cheers

Rich

Are they waterproof?

I have one of these from a game fair a few years back, its water resistant but not waterproof, decent pockets... I added a liner from another coat/

Are they waterproof?

'Bout the same dap as the British windproof smock. I've had a couple over the years and they're good windproof durable things; dunno why they call 'em parkas though...................

 

[Bigrich]

No wouldn't have said waterproof like the newer gortex ones, but I would reckon that for normal British weather they'd be fine and certainly tougher in the woods : )

Is anyone interested in do a bit of a mini GB for these?

With the liner removed they make a great robust combat jacket. Just be vigilant with the sizes as they're long hence ''parker'' The zip's a bit naff as is all the German gear for some reason. They're not water proof but fairly windproof and dry quickly. Great jacket for the money. Mine was £14. I wore it all summer long on the bike in that hot weather.

Just remembered...I've found the sizing is a bit odd so if you try to go shorter in the length the sleeves might be too short.

 

[HillBill]

Yeah, i'd be interested mate.
