Rothco N-3B Snorkel Parka - Sage Green

N-3B Snorkel Parka

The Rothco N-3B Snorkel Parka is a commercial take on the US Air Force N-3B, the cold-weather parka built for flight crews working on frozen flight lines. Its defining feature is the snorkel hood, which zips up past the chin so the faux fur ruff forms a tunnel around your face and keeps wind off your skin. The long cut covers the hips, and the sage green nylon shell gives it the classic flight jacket look. It suits anyone who spends winter outdoors, whether at work, on the range or in town.

Features

• Snorkel Hood With Faux Fur Ruff — The hood zips up over the face and is trimmed with a brown faux fur ruff that breaks the wind around your face.
• Pile-Lined Hood — A soft green faux fur pile lines the inside of the hood for warmth against your head and neck.
• Adjustable Hood Drawcords — Cords on either side of the opening let you snug the hood down in strong wind.
• Zip And Button Front Closure — A brass zipper sits behind a storm flap, a fabric strip that closes over it with buttons and snaps to block drafts.
• Utility Sleeve Pocket — A zippered pocket on the left sleeve has pen slots stitched across its face for small items you want within reach.
• Snap-Flap Cargo Pockets — Two large lower pockets close with snap flaps and have reinforced corner tabs at the openings.
• Chest-Level Hand Pockets — Two slash pockets at the front give you a place to warm your hands.
• Internal Waist Drawcord — A cinch at the waist pulls the parka in to hold body heat and cut down on draft from below.
• Raglan Sleeves — The sleeves run in one piece to the collar, which gives more freedom of movement through the shoulders when layered up.

Build And Fit

The shell is a smooth, low-sheen nylon with polyester in the build, and the body is padded throughout for cold-weather wear. The parka has a roomy cut that drops past the hips, with enough space underneath for a sweater or fleece. A Rothco logo tab is stitched to the left sleeve above the utility pocket.
