French snow camouflage is the bomb.

[@MrJazzBond]

Never seen an army as humorous as that!

[@kutalines]

another use is to protect your face from side winds (and snow) while uphill ski touring

[@gabrielalbeldaochoa8234]

Have you ever seen a baclava? Other military units use it and it is more practical in every aspects. Berets are only practical in a parade, lets be honest.

[@jguitar23]

I love them because they don't compress your head like most hats do. Great choice!

[@Audunforgard]

I love the basque boina. s a good hat. The worse the weather, the bigger beret is better than the tiny ones for sire. Talking from many years experience

[@freddyrobayo7419]

Love his accent!!!

[@roccosfondo8748]

That's interesting. I've always seen it just as an ugly hat now I've found out that it's a multi tool which is awesome.

[@ommsterlitz1805]

It's not ugly though it reminds me of the "petasos" the ancient greeks had

[@uprrslo]

I learned something today.

[@Th3Nigma]

The French love their berets, hon hon hon.

Alpine Hunters for the French NATO forces.

[@joanofarc6402]

[@calvacoca]

[@methodeetrigueur1164]

La bonne vieille tarte…

[@talassaXXI]

Multi role hat...

[@Studiostellalpina]

sinceramente bella la “pizza” francese ma il cappello alpino è molto più iconico.

[@Heimrik01]

ça ressemble à quoi le cappello alpino ?

[@Samsunga-bp4yw]

Bonjour, comment portez-vous un béret par temps venteux?

[@The6568]

Je ne comprend pas la question. Je fais de la voile à la Pointe de Crozon, et il ne s'est jamais envolé. Par contre, j'en ai vu beaucoup perdre leur casquette, mais je ne sais pas comment ils font…

[@pushpa9621]

Great marks

[@MsWatismyname]

Okay but the real reason is that it looks good.

[@margocouturie2692]

That's so dope yet so French

[@KaitsuMaitsu]

👍👍

[@rafidrehan]

So this organisation also have a youtube channel,? Interesting

[@kaa13]

Yeah indeed ! if any di.head can play the VIP on YT, a defensive organization composed of 30 democratic (Turkey and Hungary are problematic) countries; 1 billion citizens, 3 million professional soldiers can have a YT channel , I believe.

[@williambuchanan8607]

You can also use it as a bivvy.

[@fnerf0]

Sure, keep feet warm and amputate ears

[@felixbui9818]

french

[@loyalist5736]

You can put your feet inside to keep them warm. ..Yeah ok France we wear socks ..

[@ommsterlitz1805]

You clearly never went skiing in very cold environment

[@brunol-p_g8800]

You’ve clearly never spent a night in the snow on top of a mountain…

[@gabrielalbeldaochoa8234]

You clearly never used a sleeping bag properly. Plus, if you actually wore that under extreme conditions you'd lose your ears. Wear a beanie hat instead, keep that beret for the parades, as they quite probably do.
