[1982] USAF N-3B EXTREME COLD WEATHER PARKA

Product Overview

N-3B flight jacket made in 1982 and issued by the US Air Force (USAF). The "Extreme Cold Weather Parka", developed for extreme cold regions, features an olive green shell and a hood with faux fur trim. The outer shell is made of a 80% cotton/20% nylon blend that is both windproof and warm, and the padding is made of 100% polyester. The slightly longer than waist-length design keeps out the cold air, making this a piece that combines functionality and design. It is an exceptional item that shines as a fashion item in modern times while retaining its practicality as an Air Force item.

The N-3B jacket was developed in the 1950s for use in extremely cold regions and was adopted by the U.S. Air Force and ground forces. Commonly known as the "snow parka," it is characterized by its excellent cold protection performance that can withstand environments as low as -40°C. The double structure of the front zipper and buttons is designed to block out cold air. In addition, the hood with faux fur prevents cold wind around the face and improves comfort. Even now, more than 70 years after its introduction, its details and high quality are still intact. It is an exceptional item that can be said to be a symbol of the functional beauty and design of military wear.
