Swedish M90 Parka and Trousers - Good Price

[steven andrews]

Surplus and Adventure have got a very good price on the Swedish M90 parka at the moment. £19.97
It is an excellent warm jacket.

I know that people have reported bad service from Surplus and Adventure, but I ordered an M90 from them with no problem.

I'm 5'10 with a 39 inch chest. I ordered Medium.

The tag has 180 height and 65 "Vikt" ??

The parka is perfect fit. Arms the right length, and it is roomy enough to fit over anything that I may need underneath.

This is one toasty warm parka - as you can imagine....it's from Sweden!!

I think the "Vikt" bit is weight in kg, but I could be wrong.

I tried an online translation thing and it came up with "weight".
Strange - I've never seen clothing with "weight" in the label!

I found them for £22 plus £6 postage here:

That's a real bargain!

Hopefully they will see this thread and give us their take on them,they do look a good piece of kit to me at decent price too, and i cannot imagine the Swedish army using rubbish myself!

The swedish M90 parka also known as Warm Coat 90 or coma coat as solddiers call them. The sixe system is as most of you already know in size and weight. The parka is available in 2 versions one older version that has a heavier outer fabric and with an insulated hood and one with a lighter fabric and without the insulated hood. The coma coat is worn during slow activities during the winter or as a sleeping bag during the summer if colder along with the trousers.
The coat can easily be rolled up in the hood to make it to a small package, some soldiers has even managed o roll in the trousers in the hood too.

The surplus market has been flooded with M90 parkas and trousers and M90 uniforms lately so don´t be surpised to find these cheap.

I have personally used it over 10 years both as a soldier and as a bushcrafter and love it o bits and are one of the items that I pack down during the winter and always pack as a soldier.

I'm really wavering over these. I can buy XXL jacket and XL Trousers.... and have delivered for £40. I'm *very* tempted.
