German Army Flecktarn Bandana

Bundeswehr Field Bandana

This triangular bandana comes from the German Army (Bundeswehr) and is printed in Flecktarn, Germany's five-color woodland camouflage. It is a multipurpose piece of field kit. Tie it over your head against sun, pull it over your nose and mouth when the wind picks up dust, or wear it as a neck scarf. It suits soldiers, hunters, hikers and reenactors, and anyone who wants a genuine piece of German issue in a pack pocket.

Features

• Genuine German Army Issue — Supplied to the Bundeswehr, so this is the pattern and cut soldiers actually carried.
• Five-Color Flecktarn Camouflage — Dark green, light green, olive, brown and black dots break up your outline in woodland and mixed cover.
• Large Triangular Cut — It measures roughly 50" x 26" x 26", with enough fabric to cover the whole head or knot comfortably at the neck.
• Overlocked Edges — Serged stitching runs along every edge to keep the fabric from fraying.
• Soft, Breathable Fabric — The material is heavier than a typical cotton bandana but still breathes when worn over the face.
• Lightweight At About 3 oz — At approximately 90 grams it folds small enough for a pocket, pouch or helmet liner.
• Several Ways To Wear — Use it as a headcover, dust mask, sweatband or neck scarf.

Pattern And Provenance

The Bundeswehr officially adopted Flecktarn, German for "spot camouflage", in 1990. The bandana matches the shirts, trousers and field gear printed in the same pattern. Because it is government-issue rather than a commercial print, the colors and dot scale are correct for anyone building an accurate German kit, and it pairs naturally with Flecktarn uniforms and packs already in the catalogue.
