Product Features
AUTHENTIC DESIGN - N-3B parka is the first piece of outerwear that Alpha Industries created for the military back in 1959. The N-3B was created to protect Air Force ground and crew members from the extreme cold weather climates. First offered in midnight blue, the parka was later changed to a sage green and re-designed when it was adopted by all military services.
INDIVIDUAL STYLE - Signature “Remove Before Flight” red hang tag on the sleeve utility pencil pocket and the Alpha Industries logo on the zig-zag zipper extension let you show off your style. Two exterior handwarmer pockets, two lower flap pockets, one interior patch pocket, and shirred sleeves round out the look.
FORM & FUNCTION - N-3B cold weather parka helps keep you warm during those cold weather months with several features. Adjustable snorkel hood with a removable faux fur trim and faux mouton lining keeps your head and face warm when the wind picks up, with the storm flap on the front helping to protect your core. Water-resistant shell, quilted lining, and polyester fill add to the insulation against the cold.
FIT & RECOMMENDED USE - N-3B slim fit parka has a classic snorkel parka style with moderate room in the body and sleeves and falls just at thigh length. Perfect as an outerwear piece in cold or extreme cold weather.
MATERIALS & CARE INSTRUCTIONS - 100% Flight nylon shell, 100% nylon lining, and 100% polyester fill. Dry clean only, remove the faux fur before dry cleaning.
Customer Reviews
Alpha Industries has been around for awhile, and their N-3B is truly a great Parka. I was first issued one of these for some cold weather ops while on active duty back in the 1980's. Due to a recent relocation from the Tropics to the Continental U.S. - - - a winter coat is MANDATORY for this old sun bum!I have read where other customers have written in their reviews that 'the one I received did not have metal zippers, or the Orange lining.' Received mine this morning, and it had both. When I opened the box, I could not believe how well this Parka was packed. There was paper protective wrap around each individual button that anchors down the storm flap. The faux fur on the hood was protected with both paper, and a clear plastic over-wrap.Since this had metal zippers, I knew that the first order of business was to place a few drops of household 3-in-1 oil into the zipper clasp, then slowly work the zipper along the full length of its' track in both directions a few hundred times to gently break it in. Reoiling as it becomes necessary. This will help to ensure trouble-free operation over many years. These zippers are very sturdy metal.I am 5 feet 6 inches (1.6764 M) and weigh 160 (72.5748 Kg) pounds. I ordered a Medium Slim Fit. The coat fits perfectly.No doubt this will be a warm coat, especially if you layer your upper body. I do not. It was 28 (-2.2222 C) Fahrenheit when I took the coat outside to test it for the first time. I wore only a light T-shirt underneath. There was a 17 knot northerly wind blowing. After standing in the wind for about ten minutes, I had to undo the top button of the storm flap and unzip the zipper to that level - - - as I was getting toasty to the point of overheating. I did not try putting the hood on.In summary, this is a great coat!
