Originally designed in the 1950s for U.S. Air Force personnel operating in extreme cold, the N-3B Parka has evolved into a timeless piece of outerwear. Crafted with a durable 100% flight nylon shell and a 100% nylon lining, it offers reliable protection against harsh weather conditions.
The parka features a faux mouton-lined hood with a removable faux fur trim, providing both warmth and versatility. A buckled hood adjuster and adjustable drawstrings at the waist and hood ensure a customizable fit.
Designed with practicality in mind, the N-3B includes multiple pockets: two exterior handwarmer pockets, two lower flap pockets, and an interior patch pocket, offering ample storage for essentials. The MA-1 utility pocket on the sleeve, complete with Alpha Industries' signature red ribbon, adds a distinctive touch.
With its water-resistant properties and channel-quilted lining, this parka is well-suited for extreme cold weather, making it a versatile addition to any winter wardrobe.

100% Nylon: is known for its simple maintenance and high resistance, it is a relatively hard material.
In 1959, the US Department of Defense turned to Alpha Industries to create new versions of classic military jackets for its soldiers. Alpha Industries was tasked with designing jackets that would suit the different requirements and conditions in which soldiers would operate. As a result, Alpha Industries became one of the main suppliers of jackets for the U.S. Air Force, Navy, Army, and Marine Corps. Today, Alpha Industries is a large and respected company that produces jackets with military style and quality.
