SWISS ALPENFLAGE HEAVYWEIGHT PARKA W/PACK
Swiss Alpenflage Heavyweight Parka with pack. One of best selling camouflage patterns. Used but great condition. Parka is made of a heavy cotton blend, zipper and snaps for the front, 4 big pockets, waterproof elbows, drawstring hood, elastic cuffs and a handy dandy small pack to match it all. - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
Hi guys, you have presented our former combat suit very nice, all the numerous pockets, how big and how deep they are. But you have no idea what all these pockets were used for. Almost every pocket had their prescribed function: Magazine pockets for the rifle (pockets on the chest,) the first aid package (pocket on the left arm,) the water bottle (on the right side.) The large pockets at the back around the waist were intended for the dishes (the "Gamelle," which is a special dish for cooking and eating.) The deep and narrow pockets on the backpack were for the rifle grenades. In the large middle pocket of the backpack the rain cover was, ax or folding spade was strapped onto the backpack. The pockets on the trousers were for the hand grenades. Until the beginning of the 1990s in the swiss army were used so-called stalk hand grenades, which fit very well into these pockets. And please, do not use the hook on the chest not for the bottle. Also not for the pacifier. But for the helmet. This type of combat suit was used until 1993 and was then replaced by the current one.
Regards from an old Swiss soldier (time of duty 1978 - 2000)
Thank you so much for the wonderful information!
What type of rifle was usually issued with this uniform?
TheRusty58 inside of the jacket is a large compartment on the back , was this for a blanket or something? As an old Cold War era soldier I really like the well thought out design the Swiss had with this system. For its day, and even now , I feel like it’s a better load carrying system than some of the other stuff out there. For sure better than what the US used in the 80’s . As someone who used it in the field it would be interesting to know some of the things you liked and didn’t like about the system. I take the top and backpack out into the woods hunting and camping and it really performs well for me. I really like that the Swiss thought to leave the right shoulder area clear for shouldering the rifle. That was the biggest down fall of US systems. The straps were always in the way .
Boris Markov At that time they were using the STGw 57 ..later the 90. I think they switched to the 90 around 1990 for the front line guys. The 2nd and 3rd line militia guys were probably still on the 57. An actual Swiss guy would know the exact time they switched over. Those mag pockets up front will hold lots of different mags. From AR to 308 . Only long AK mags don’t fit well, but the 20 round tankers work well.. You can get a ton of SKS strippers in them.
You are absolutely right. Trial elite troops where issued in 1990, I got my Stgw90 in 1991 (infantry basic training schools) and and in 1993 most of the infantry battalions switched from stgw57 to the Stgw90 during their yearly militia "training duty". So it happened that I weard this old parka with the new Stgw90 in 1991/1992 and we were issued by the new TAZ90 Equipment in 1993. It was a big effort to have a "uniformity" between the different soldiers with their different equipment, but we handeld it for a good percentage until 1995. I remember that some air defense troops had the Stgw57 also in 1999 :D Not really a problem, except the different ammo (7.5 x 55mm Swiss vs. 5.56x45mm) ... and the weight of the Stw57 !

Moment of nostalgia for me... I was in recruit school in summer 1992 (RS 237) and had this uniform on (almost) every day for 17 weeks. By that time, all infantry schools were updated to both Taz 90, and fass 90 (the new gun), but we in the artillery were behind. Those were the very last years of this uniform. Two years later all schools were updatet to Taz 90, and around 1998 all of the army went to the Taz 90.
Ich auch Inf Rs 204 1986 👍👍💪💪 SoS geil❤
It's was the best load bearing smock ever made, inside but pocket is enough for Kim Kardashian
my father told me wen they whre in the army they managed to get a whole box of ber on there
greetings from switzerland
Haha that's awesome! You really could fit a whole box of beer in this thing. It's surprising how much can fit in those pockets.
and you have a sniper net in the Hood :-)
the snap hook is for the helmet
Ношу с удовольствием,радует глаз, прекрасна, надёжна, удобна.
I am Swiss and wore this combat suit between 1976 and 1995. The way you describe it is a bit confusing. All those many pockets have a very special use. The canteen, pellicle, etc. are always put in the same predetermined pocket, which is what it is intended for. So not as shown there, e.g. with the water bottle, which doesn't belong there.
I have the entire 3 piece set I bought on ebay afew years ago for only around 30 bucks, I love the set and it's in great condition!
That's a great deal!
Thanks
the legs are rubberized water proof. it is a very handy set if you just have the complete top your good to go for most things. you can easily hold a full edc bag worth and ammo.
The top chest pockets are mag pouches, that's why they have the cloth separator's.
Very Good Jacket and Trousers
thanks !!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is the original 1983 Tarnanzug (TAZ83)
No this is the Taz 57, the Taz 83 has the same pattern (alpenflage) but doesn't have alle the big pockets. The Taz 83 is more like the Taz 90.
@@familleenglert
The TAZ57 M70 absolutely ROCKS!!!
IIRC thats the one w an inner pocket for a gun-cleaning kit...
My only gripe is the sleeves seem short for the chest size requiring me to need a near-impossible to find XL rather than L (unlike the shirt style M83 jacket where L/size 52 is PERFECT fit everywhere)~
It's not completed without a Swiss Watch & Swiss Army Knife.
I Have Jacket, Trousers, Cap and Back bag.Cood and Cool
Breast pockets are for magazines
Tom Ballard: I don't think that soldiers have time to read magazines!
Интересный магазин...
Gooo
I don’t get why there aren’t any repros with different patterns
Ya that is one of the greatest parkas ever designed you don't even really need load bearing equipment I ordered myself one the other day for hunting and fur harvesting.
Ok so i bought this and the pants suspenders seem like they were tied and cut. I can't untie the knot and even if i could theres no way i would even be able to go over my shoulders. Anyone else have this done to thier pants?
Some soldiers do that once they fitted them so with weight/movement etc they always stay where they want them...similar to how some tape/tie vests & loose straps or other bits of kit despite it looking not great (they are more concerned with form/function & not losing things/having them secure & handy)
That is unfortunate but would be why~
Will you be getting any of these pants in? I can't find them anywhere. I'm 6'4", my waist is 36 and length would be a 33. From what I've seen, the legs are short on these. Help please, thanks
Sportsman’s Guid has the set on sale for $35

you guys are wrong,thats tenue is the regular infantry tenue in swiss army from around 1950 till 2000,the complet tenue got 72 pokets and it's and up dated tenue from the green devil germann paratroopers from ww2,who i'm ?ex sergent major from swiss infantry,by the way that's stuff hang in the front of is not from swiss army.it's ww2 germann replica water contener and this swiss army tenue is f... heavy and unconfortable in the batle feild
Yup, never rely on an ex soldier for any accurate information. THAT water bottle is Czechoslovakian and has nothing to do with either Germany or WW2
@@keitharnold8866
Technically that water bottle is a replica of the ones used by the German army in World War II, the Czechs copied everything they could (MG42, equipment loading system, backpack, etc.)
ниче такие себе альпийские стрелки по полтора центнера тушка на голову походу в такого целится легко
i did wear this tenue for more than 1000 days so do'nt talk about you a got no clew
Man you have no idea what these pockets were designed for. Just making this up as you go along is just so much crap. Get an ex Swiss soldier to give you in intelligent tour of exclamation.
Love Alpenflage, but this jacket HAS GONE TOO FAR!
