Czech Woodland Parka w/ Hood & Liner
Size: XL Long
We're offering Czech Army Woodland Parkas that were issued but remain in excellent condition. Crafted from a durable cotton blend, these parkas feature a zip front with a buttoned storm flap for added protection against the elements. They include two lower pockets with button-flap closures, two chest pockets with buttoned flaps, and reinforced elbows for enhanced durability. Adjustable drawstrings at the waist and hem let you tailor the fit, and grip-strip cuffs help lock in warmth and comfort. The hood is equipped with a drawstring and can be conveniently rolled into the collar when not in use.
Note: These parkas are measured without the liners and tend to run large based on the tag sizes.
Previously issued, yet they remain in solid condition.
Origin of Camouflage Czech VZ.95
The Czech Vz.95 camouflage, officially adopted in 1995, was developed from late Cold War prototypes as a distinctly national pattern following the breakup of Czechoslovakia. Inspired by the U.S. ERDL/Woodland design but recolored for Central European forests, it uses four tones—black, brown, dark green, and pale green—in irregular leaf-like shapes that provide strong concealment in mixed woodland terrain.
Vz.95 became the standard combat uniform of the Czech Army throughout the 1990s and 2000s, worn by all branches at home and abroad in NATO and UN missions. Seasonal variants were created, including mountain, desert, and winter versions, with a ripstop update in the 2000s. Long associated with post–Cold War Czech identity, it remained in service until the recent adoption of MAD21, and today it is prized in surplus markets by collectors and outdoor enthusiasts alike.
