Try googling 'Military Mukluks' in images. Plenty on there, liners as well. These were the ones we wore in Goose around 87-88.

Well why stay fixed in the past when you can have the modern day equivalent of the Inuit sealskin?...

Pertex/Pile System
http://www.buffalosystems.co.uk/pics/pertex-logo.gif Buffalo are the originators of the Pertex/Pile system. To understand how the system works is to realise it's simplicity.

Pertex® is a densely woven fabric with high capillary action. When combined with any of the five Buffalo developed pile linings, a garment is produced which is windproof, warm, lightweight and resists rain. It is also highly breathable and extremely efficient at transmitting moisture vapour.

The correct sizing and a knowledge of how the ventilation zips are used, ensures the user gets the best from the garment. The simplicity determines there is little to go wrong, no pores to clog up or laminates to wear off. Where possible, we have avoided patches, needless pockets with unnecessary zips, or fancy trims all of which detract from the performance.

Compared to DP Pertex, goretex [TM] is as breathable as polythene sheet!!!

:ok:

Why on earth would anyone want to buy ex-military clothing from 30-40 years ago? It wasn't much use then (top tip - snow doesn't stick to wolverine fur if the wolverine isn't alive at the time....:rolleyes: ) and would be even worse now.

Search for 'arctic clothing' if you feel disposed to going out in Britain's 2-day winter - but don't waste time on obsolete and largely useless military kit from a bygone age.

'Cold wet gloves' - yes, they truly were....:oh:

I wonder which clever person cornered the wolverine culling market and flogged the resulting pelts to a naive HMG? Top marks for enterprise, less so for honesty and decency.

BEagle, shush, you will spoil the after market on eBay, I still have a nav bag, pair of green long johns and a flying shirt to go. Also a pencil box and a 2H POP computer.

I go to Goose tomorrow, not many of Furiner's there now though

Mukluks & Parkas
 

...Parka was issued for Goose bay etc - but were also part of the "Arctic" survival packs fitted on deployment/tasking as required

I seem to remember a "lost" Parka was a courts martial offence

Mukluks were indeed only good in the right (dry) snow.

The standard RAF Cold Weather Kit was perfectly adequate when I did a Cold Weather Trial in Greenland in February when the OAT was minus 47 Celsius.
