British Military MTP Smock Parka

Made for long stays in the wind and rain where shelter is whatever you are wearing, this British Army MTP smock parka carries that unmistakable field-built confidence. The polycotton shell feels tough without stiffness and the Multi-Terrain Pattern bends greens, tans, and shadow browns so your outline softens in scrub, woodland, and open ground. The four front pockets load out easily with maps, gloves, rations, and cold-weather odds and ends, while the interior fleece-lined handwarmer pockets offer a warm refuge during stops. Underarm zippers let you dump heat on climbs or while carrying weight, and the wired hood shapes cleanly when the wind picks up. The cut runs long for coverage, the storm flap seals with both zipper and buttons, and the cuffs secure over gloves without bunching. Some may arrive missing one or both drawstrings, which is common with issued smocks and can be replaced quickly with simple cord. These are issued smocks, used in good field-worn condition, showing the kind of lived-in reliability only real kit develops. NSN 8415-99-396-5995. Genuine European military surplus. Made in the UK.

Expert Tips:

Cold wash inside out to protect the fibers and keep the print sharp. Line dry to maintain the shape and prevent over-softening of the polycotton blend. Reproof occasionally with a quality DWR spray if you plan to use it as a rain layer. If wearing over armor or winter layers, choose a size up so the hem and shoulders move freely. Cinch the waist drawcord to cut drafts in cold weather or leave it open for airflow during long hikes.
