Rothco N-3B Snorkel Parka - Black

Classic Cold Weather Parka

The Rothco N-3B Snorkel Parka follows the pattern of the US Air Force N-3B, the extreme cold weather parka designed for flight and ground crews working in freezing conditions. It is a thigh-length, padded jacket with a faux fur trimmed hood. Rothco builds it for winter commuting, outdoor work and anyone who wants the original military cut in plain black.

Features

• Faux Fur Snorkel Hood — The hood zips up high around the face to form the tunnel-shaped "snorkel" opening, with a tan faux fur ruff and black pile lining to keep wind off your face.
• Brass Front Zipper — A heavy brass-toned zipper runs up the front and into the hood for a full closure.
• Button And Snap Storm Flap — A wide placket covers the zipper and fastens with buttons and snaps to block wind driving through the closure.
• Snap-Flap Cargo Pockets — Two large lower pockets have covered flaps that close with snaps, so gloves or a phone stay put.
• Slash Hand Warmer Pockets — Two angled chest-level pockets with snap closures give you somewhere warm to put your hands.
• Sleeve Utility Pocket — The left sleeve carries a zippered pocket with pen slots, a detail carried over from military flight jackets.
• Raglan Sleeves — The sleeve seams run diagonally to the collar instead of sitting on the shoulder, which leaves more room to move your arms over layers.
• Gathered Back Waist — The back is drawn in at the waist to hold warmth close to the body and cut down on bulk.
• Three-Quarter Length — The hem falls well below the hips to cover the seat and upper thighs.
• Drawcord Collar — A drawstring at the neck lets you snug the collar and hood around your face.

Construction And Fit

The shell is a smooth nylon and polyester fabric with a padded fill throughout the body and sleeves. The cut is roomy, leaving space for a sweater or fleece underneath, and the black colorway has black buttons with brass-toned zippers. It is sold in multiple sizes, so check the size chart against your chest measurement and allow for the layers you plan to wear.
