Swiss M70 Combat Jacket

[@magnuskilian5310]

The back pockets are from left to right are for gas mask, mess kit and water flask. The back pack long pockets left and right are for rifle anti tank grenades.The two inside straps are used to buckle the trouser suspenders to help carry the load of fully packed trousers with hand grenades etc.

I really like Swiss Equipment 😎👍

Same

"horrendously covered in pockets"

[@Soggz7785]

I like that camo. I believe there is a tank suit in the same camo, too. All the best👍🏾🇬🇧

[@swissgi]

Confirmed. I have the one piece combat suit. Used it when i was in a younger age to play airsoft

[@crypticreality8484]

I just got one today. It's absolutely absurd and awesome Perfect Bug Out jacket

[@alvmahn]

having several full sets of jacket, trousers, and backpack acquired at bargain prices, it was interesting to examine everything found in the full kit.

That Moustache is Legend now it has it's own identity awesome Jacket!

[@kevinstrade2752]

I find them a bit heavy when loaded, and mine's not even fully loaded. But yes, it's impressive in scope and execution. Wearing that you have what you need for a day or so, coupled with the snap pack, a few more days. Yours looks like the 83 Taz pattern with darker colors and larger patterns. Looks unissued to! Mine is older and more faded but still functional! Brilliant piece of kit indeed!

[@penisgrapes]

It's probably a contract variation. Sometimes, different timeframes, contractors etc, the base fabric would be lighter or darker tan/khakis.

I got mine today with the pants with suspenders!

[@marco529]

I love that jacket. Only mines a vest because the arms were made for dwarves.

[@kebaichen919]

Thanks for making a great video! I love your collection and your channel!

[@ZEV79]

Hello, I am swiss and i have a question ! Where did you buy this M70 combat parka with TAZ 83 pattern ? I own the TAZ 83 pant and jacket but not the M70 parka and field pack. I want the new colors one not the faded one 😉 Thank you for your videos

[@Alejandro-du6vq]

Just google in german and u should find it

[@digitallove655]

Very in depth review and comparison i recently ordered one of these for its great versatility . By the way though quick question how would you recommend to go about washing this ? I was going to dry clean it but because of the reinforced material on the elbows I assumed that would probably be a bad idea

[@DevinK]

You can just machine wash and air dry

[@digitallove655]

@@DevinK okay ill do that thanks for the info

[@ricardostallmanu4176]

good video. one correction would be that the e-tool cover actually attached to the integrated backpack through two metal d-rings rather than the leather duty belt.

[@byronaspapadimitriou1094]

sir i just read in the comments that you have 9 of these...are u considering selling just one ?

[@DevinK]

Depends what size you need and I have only one nicer one.

[@swcblad]

for sizing i have seen FS and FM, what do they mean?

[@stansmith4054]

Nice review!

[@stevencremin9245]

Fantastic video once again and it's about my passion Swiss Alpenflage uniform, I have collected the m70 trousers and jacket plus the fabric back pack, M70 helmet ⛑ plus the M83 trousers and jacket plus the black leather and woollen gaiters plus I have two Alpenflage tent halves which I will use on wild camps in the Uk,was wondering if you help me with what the base layers the Swiss soldiers wore underneath the M70 jacket in thev70,s 80,s e.g did they have a special name for that item of clothing ,love your style of presentation 😀

[@DevinK]

It was just the standard wool uniform in the winter and in the summer it would be just a t shirt

[@nallekarkki8862]

You have good experience of military gear so could you find anything related to soviet БНМ-М БМ 1-5 nightvision binoculars. I just bought a pair, but there is almost nothing on the internet of these things. Thats all i know

[@DevinK]

If you send me a pair or pay for a pair I can

[@Alejandro-du6vq]

How tall are you and how much do u weigh? Want to buy one, same size. Ty

[@DevinK]

@@Alejandro-du6vq I’m 72 inches tall and weigh 185 lbs.

[@Alejandro-du6vq]

@@DevinK nice, size 52 will fit me then. Ty!

[@jorgec.a3123]

The Swiss uniform looks like it would be too hot and warm for anything that's not Switzerland

[@crypticreality8484]

Well, much of the world has similar climate. I'm in Montana which is on the same latitude and a similar elevation.

[@ohnenamen2843]

Do you have German Moleskin, or west German woll?

[@DevinK]

It’s hard to find in my size

[@ohnenamen2843]

@@DevinK Yeah, I can imagine. I looked half a year and only found one I had to repair the pockets one wich wasn’t extremely oversized. And I live in Germany

[@DevinK]

@@ohnenamen2843 it would be cool one day but it’s pretty slim pickings

[@ohnenamen2843]

@@DevinK Would be cool. They’re pretty practical (not as practical as the M70 tho)

[@crypticreality8484]

I have an old moleskin German jacket seit 1995. Ich bin 40 Jahrr alt. Ich bleibe in Montana. In Montana Kann es sehr kalt werden. I use it in the cold, snowy weather with clothes underneath, it is very warm and weatherproof.

[@skipharris5764]

Why compare with a American shirt, not the jacket?

[@DevinK]

Because the Swiss garment was both a shirt in the Sumer and a over jacket in the winter. The Americans did stuff different in their r&d at the time then the Europeans. The American stuff does one job where a lot of Europeans had heard that did more then 1 job.
