Spotlight on Gear


How about this to keep you warm on those cold winter days: an N3B Jacket.

This rugged parka comes with real fur trim -- coyote or wolf, which will stay dry in snowy weather. Its got the snorkel hood, so you can pretty head off into your own world with it on.



You can even see the faint outline out the US Air Force patch on the shoulder.


The History Preservation Society has a nice write up on this, which is over the top:

"This year is set to be yet another fall/winter season with fashion-chic imposter parkas found in all the big stores, though none of these parkas will ever protect or insulate as did the original USAF styles they pathetically fail at emulating. The N-3 design is renowned for its comfort and insulating features that provide warmth at extremely low temperatures, most notably the snorkel-style hood."
