Description
Swiss Alpenflage Parka and Bag
- This Swiss army M70 jacket was the pinnacle of quality and versatility for it’s time. Issued from 1957 to 1983, this jacket was designed with a huge amount of storage, it’s essentially a load bearing system on a jacket! Packed with pockets and pouches to minimize the need of cumbersome packs and bags. Magazine and grenade pouches sit on the chest, while larger pockets are placed around the waist area, perfect for gear and equipment.
- The M70 is loaded with handy features that made soldiers lives easier. A metal clip placed on the chest was used to carry helmets when not in use. Interior pockets contained weapon cleaning kits, saving storage space. Constructed from a heavy-weight cotton fabric, we estimate it to be around 300gsm. If you’re a paintballer/airsofter, hunter or the like, you’ll love this top quality jacket.

Hello there. I have a question regarding the Swiss Parka M70. Would like to ask for guidance on sizing. I am 192 cm about 6.3" tall and 44" chest with long arms. Would like to know if the XXL or XXXL would have sufficient fit in the arm length? Thank you. –
Hi Michael,
Thanks for your message. The sizes arent as relevant as the measurements you gave, as different years' issues differ in size. A common issue is the arm length, if you could also provide this from your armpit to your wrist.
Where are you based? We are in Menlo Park, Pretoria if you'd like to try it on first.
Regards
Pierre
