German Army Parka Liner

Bundeswehr Quilted Liner

This is the German Army's quilted parka liner, the insulating layer the Bundeswehr issued for cold-weather wear under its field parka. It adds warmth beneath an outer shell, and it is light and tidy enough to wear as a jacket on its own in cool, dry weather. Campers, hunters, workers on cold job sites and surplus collectors all use it the same way: as a warm mid-layer that packs down easily.

Features

• Zigzag Quilted Insulation — Stitching runs in vertical zigzag lines through the shell and filling, which holds the insulation in place so it cannot shift and leave cold spots.
• Polyester And Nylon Build — The smooth synthetic shell and fill stay light and dry quickly, and the outer layer slides easily under a parka or coat.
• Two-Way Front Zipper — A full-length zipper with two sliders lets you open the hem for room when sitting or bending while the chest stays closed.
• Knit Rib Collar — A tall, soft knit collar folds up around the neck to block drafts and sits comfortably against bare skin.
• Knit Rib Cuffs — Stretch cuffs close snugly at the wrists, keeping warm air in and making it easy to pull outer sleeves over the top.
• Zippered Chest Pocket — A contrasting olive cotton-look panel on the chest holds a zip pocket for keys, a phone or a folded map.
• Drawcord Hem — A cord with toggle locks at the bottom edge cinches the hem to seal out wind.
• Olive Green Finish — The standard Bundeswehr olive color pairs easily with other military surplus and outdoor clothing.

Issue Specification

This liner was made to German Army specification as part of the Bundeswehr's layered cold-weather system. It is genuine issued government gear, so the cut, quilting pattern and hardware are the originals and not a commercial interpretation. That provenance matters to collectors and reenactors, and to anyone who wants a warm liner built to a military standard.
