I have this jacket. Vet gave it to me when I was a kid. We were poor and my jacket wasn’t good. I think he knew it too. He taught me how to shoot my first BB gun. He was my neighbor in Waterbury ct. I still have his jacket and wear it when I plow our driveway. Thanks Eddie.

I knew it would be wool the moment he said it’s not down. Wool is superior in so many ways I love it.

Bro turned in to a peashooter 💀

The n-2b, when you want to stay stylish even in war

You killed Kenny !

I had one. I wore it to Lithuania in -28 C winter snow. I was sweating. These things are no joke. Buy one

My dad this has this jacket from his time in the army and he swears by it. Mom tried to make him get rid of it for years and called the ugly green coat. Still has it to this day

Got issued this 7 years ago at fort drum. I’m still in and still have/use this jacket. It also has trousers that with suspenders that go with it. I’m a Blackhawk crew chief and this combo got me through some bone chilling flights 🤙🏼

My dad's parka was made from wolf. It was warm enough down to -70F. And yes that was tested. That's what he used on base in Alaska in the 60's.

Yes. My son has one and wears it. He says it's weather proof and he doesn't feel the heater or the cold air. He says it's completely weather proof at a comfortable temperature. He loves it.

I used to have this. Man so many memories of the great Dakota Tundra. I remember my eyes freezing shut as i blinked taking photos of B-52's during a "rapid Launch" good times

Finally, a jacket that'll actually keep me alive in the freezer at work

I have an original Army Air Corps wool trench coat from before WW2, and that thing is hands down the warmest coat I’ve ever worn. I take it winter camping and it’s saved my ass more than a few times. It also weighs about 12 pounds but it’s definitely worth it.

I was stationed in Keflavik, Iceland in the mid 80's with the Navy. I was issued a used parka (that was in crappy condition with a few holes). It was the best, warmest coat I ever wore! With the wind and snow, I was still warm and toasty!! 😊

N-2b looks fire

Unfortunately this increases your chances of death, it's called the "kenny effect."

If you had to be issued this jacket, YOU EARNED IT.

If you've ever gotten your down feather cold weather gear wet and had to spend a cold night trying to stay warm in it, you'll discover it's major flaw. Pac foot wear uses thick wool inserts which wick moisture away from the body yet still maintains a thermal warming function. I know from experience. I'll pick wool any day in a wet or high humidity environment.

And it was also the origin of the great school boy game "Snorkel Parker, music practice room."

Still had them in northern Japan in 2009! Had to strap up in this bad boy and a whole suit of similar stuff to go clear snow off facilities in a blizzard lol

That jacket looks damn comfortable

Can we get that in orange? And does it muffle your voice?

I have two. One is black. They are used every winter.

I had one of these. Best jacket I've ever owned.

I have my dad’s arctic flying jacket. As a test pilot in the 1950’s he wore this plus funny pants and bunny boots while flying B-47’s over the north pole for the first times.

Wool is the only fabric that can get wet and keep you warm

I own one. Its fantastic. Had it 7 years and its brand new and i wear it alot every winter. Compare it to my canada goose and its superior in every way

I always knew Kenny from SouthPark was the smartest kid of the bunch. 😂😂😂

Absolutely loved this review! Defiently need more winter jacket reviews like these.. Like a cheap vs expensive or such maybe.

I have one of these that was passed down for my great-grandfather used when he was in the air I thank him on days when it gets colder out

That, is an amazing winter coat. I live in Canada, and I want one of these!

If you have one that's olive drab instead of forest green then it's got real fur on the trim. The oldest ones have wolf fur trim and rabbit fur inside the hood and the second oldest ones have coyote fur trim and mouton inside the hood. Incredibly warm regardless.

I live in a desert but I want one. I get chilly on cold 60 degree nights and this might do the trick.

Look at which animal likes to be out in the cold during winter. It makes sense that the wool (depending on the animal perhaps) would be better suited for wet + cold climates.

I absolutely loved mine. I will continue to love it forever.

Ceramic wool is even used in forges and furnaces to keep heat in. I imagine it works both ways.

I have one of these. It is extremely warm.

Oh my god, they killed Kenny!?

These are pretty great, wish I still had mine.

I have the N3. My gal pal gave me hers. I wanted it so bad. It's falling apart, but I still upkeep it the best I can.

Bro getting that Peashooter built

"Snorkel parka" is the second funniest nickname for military winter gear I know.

My uncle, RIP was in Vietnam and, he wore his every winter or my life until 1998 when he passed.

We were wearing knock offs of those to school in the 70s. Quite the fashion statement. 😃

My dad had this same parka when I was a kid; I wore it in the blizzard of 1977-78 in the Midwest. It was fantastic. My Wiggy’s Antarctic Parka is better though.

Wow, they didn't circumcised the jacket!

Fun fact about why arctic grade jackets use real coyote fur on the hood. Real fur is preferred as it does not freeze where as the synthetic fur does. Thus it improves insulation around your exposed face. (I used to sell Canada Goose jackets).

My dad has that jacket. He has had it almost all of my life, and every cold winter he would have it on. Sometimes if he got too hot, I would get to wear the jacket and that thing is no joke. It actually does keep you warm.

Wool is the best natural fiber in existence

I had one while in the Army. It worked!

I had one of these on the main land, my favorite coat ever. The snorkel is so cozy

Wool is the best for staying warm in wet and cold weather. It's superior in so many ways.

Please include this information in the description, this is awesome

I'm glad winters aren't freezing cold in Australia but I'm sad I never get to wear coats like that

It must be cold asf in south park for Kenny to wear this shit 24/7. Meanwhile his moms always in a T-shirt 💀💀

Bro got the Eighteen-Count Saejima fit.

My dad has one of these from my grandpa's time in the aleutian islands during WW2 and let me tell you that thing is WARM

My grandfather made me wear one years ago when we were clearing the driveway in a blizzard and it was -55 Fahrenheit with windchill.. it’s crazy how warm that thing is lol I looked goofy but it kept me warm as hell.. my grandma was taking pictures of me laughing from the living room window… ahh how I’d love to go back to those days, at the moment I hated being out in that blizzard but those are good times with the family

get a orange version BEST Kenny cosplay to date

My grandfather did "weather testing" in Antarctica back in the 30's and 40's. Im sure he had one of these parkas along with the giant zippo lighter that theyd put canned food on. His name is Carl. He had very highly classified documents that I got the chance to look at from Pearl Harbour.

Still have my Dad's from WWII.

as someone who has to slog through -30c winters on the regular id love this

Reminds me of the jackets they wore in the thing

Next one to come out is probably the 2B-Continued

This was my winter jacket in high school

The jacket I got in highschool was basically modeled after the n-2b. It’s seams have ripped. But it’s still a nice jacket.

I had one in Alaska. When I moved here I gave it to my brother who used it when he painted signs outside. One thing you forgot is that it has a wolf ruff so it doesn't ice up from your breath.

looks cozy

Nothing beats real wool.

I have a 70s military jacket just like this one. I had to wash it three times and brush out the fur. It was sitting in storage in my husband's uncle's garage. It's in great condition.

lol, we wear those all over fairbanks. I grew up with em, theyre super comfy and warm

I like the design a lot, but I want it longer. I want it down to mid thigh at least; down to knees would be even better.

I finally learned what parka Kenny wears thanks to this video

I had an N3. It was by far the warmest winter coat that I'd ever worn.

I know technology and clothing has gotten so awesome. I think we take for granted all the things that are available to us on this planet. Great dude I love it.

I got some chilled items delivered the other day, wrapped in wool batting, with a little note explaining what it was and how useful it was for insulation

BEST coat I ever had! USAF Iceland’73

Thanks for an actual informative short.

I can't be the only one who expected him to start talking like Kenny.

This is so warm. Love it.

Was warm when I wore it in subzero. The hood was great.

I need this in Florida when it gets below 70 degrees.

We never got issued those when we went to extreme cold places, we just had thermal under wear and Gortex. 😞 🥶.

I lived in this parka, every winter, in Alaska. 172ND Inf. We spent Jan and Feb "camping" in the wildrness. This parka saved my life, daily.

Anyone who grew up in a cold region in the 70s knows these coats well. They were hugely popular even though they were a cheaper polyfill look-a-like. Moon boots came right after the snorkel parkas😊 Good times, YO!

I have an N3B and can confirm it's extremely warm and heavy, definitely recommended if you can find one.

I need this jacket! I love it!

Wool is so versatile!

We used to wear a snorkel in primary school.

I have one, it was my uncle's he got when stationed in Germany in the 70s

The old extreme cold weather parka is pretty nice, but it’s add-in liner makes it freakin awesome. And no, it’s not the green quilted field jacket nylon liner. It’s creamy white and feels like Velcro.

I want this coat. Very nice. Wool stay warm even when it's soaked.

Daddy got station in Wainwright, that’s Fairbanks Alaska. It did get to -60F and those coats were awesome.

It looks like a military jacket I bought years ago at a yard sale

Bought one at a surplus store a decade ago in texas, good thing i moved to new york. Get a little use out of it. Also super comfy to sleep in

I find this so funny cuz there is massive fires everywhere in my local spot of Australia rn

Yes I need 1. I know it only gets down to 23 degrees or 60 no in-between.

When I lived on the East Coast, I had one and I wasn't in the military. It came in handy waiting for the school bus and wishing we had pants to go with the coat. 😄 My whole family had them. My Mum worked for the Navy , and my Dad was in MC. They got lost in the move ( along with some furniture 😮) when Dad was transferred to Camp Pendleton. 😊🌟

Wool is so good for this stuff. I use it for skiing and sailing since it stays warm when wet. It also has the upside of not smelling bad on multi day trips when you can't wash, unlike synthetic which can start to smell bad pretty quickly.

they used be be wolf fur around the snorkle, then it was changed to synthetic, I swapped mine to nz possum fur and its so cosy
