Own a rare piece of Cold War-era military history with this genuine USGI Desert Night Camo Fishtail Parka, complete with its original Medium-sized quilted liner. Developed in the 1980s for use during nighttime operations in desert environments, the grid-like camouflage was specifically designed to counter Soviet infrared surveillance. Though it saw limited deployment, the pattern became one of the most distinctive and collectible in U.S. military history.
This parka is a Medium Regular and includes its matching Medium liner, which buttons in securely for added warmth. Both the shell and liner are in good condition, showing signs of light use or storage wear, but fully intact with no major flaws. Slight color variation may be present due to manufacturing differences and age—typical of original surplus.
