wdbikemad Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 (edited) At long last I've dug-out this rare example of the early-mid 70s first-issue British Army "Crisp Packet" nylon waterproof overjacket in the scarce olive green...........unlined, two velcro-fastened chest pockets, simple hood with drawcord, zip-front with press-stud fastened over-flap, and press-stud tabs on the cuffs........on the 2nd (DPM) issue the cuff adjusters were replaced with velcro tabs........this one isn't in the best condition but rare now...few (in green) have survived......these were NI issue only.......:-D .....these lasted only for a couple of years, the DPM replacing it although stocks remained available into the 80s (still listed in August 86 QM list although obsolete)....made in three sizes only, small, medium and large......matching trousers also produced.....

wdbikemad Posted February 8, 2013 Author Share Posted February 8, 2013 Try getting a green one nowadays Tony !!! The only one I've ever found, and not in the World's best condition.......they seem to deteriorate with age, even if new, although in fairness are around 40 years old now....
