Austrian Mountain Troop Ripstop BDU Jacket - Desert | Issued
This jacket is the Austrian Army Anzug 03 (KAZ 03) Mountain Troop Ripstop Jacket. It is a highly sought-after piece of surplus gear because it bridges the gap between a rugged combat shirt and a lightweight field jacket.
Unlike the standard olive version, the tan (desert) variant is less common and offers a sleek, utilitarian aesthetic for hiking, travel, or everyday wear.
Authentic Austrian Military Surplus Built for the rugged demands of the Austrian Bundesheer, this Anzug 03 (KAZ 03) jacket is designed for mountain troops who require durability without the bulk. Made from a high-quality poly-cotton ripstop blend, it is breathable enough for high-activity trekking but tough enough to resist tears and abrasions.
