I recently got a good look at the Navy version of the jacket (Parka, Naval, Mfg 2000). Nice black colour but many differences (possibly older model?). I haven't looked closely at the older OD jacket so it may be similar to it.
Here are some of the things I noticed:
- No underarm ventilation zippers
- No front slipon holder/epaulette
- Has Shoulder straps/epaulettes instead
- Hand warmer pockets do not have zippers
- Hood pocket does not have a flap to cover over the Velcro, just Velcro to hold it closed
- Hood has two reflective strips on the back
- No shoulder tab with velcro for flag
- No Velcro on breast for nametape
- No parachute strap/anti-billowing device
- Still has theBaileys Irish Cream Ear Defender holders ;D
Otherwise has all the other features (inside map pockets, etc).
Any Navy personnel here know if the coat was updated to similar specs as the Army model (just curious)?
Cheers
