Someone Help Me Identify This Un-Labeled Parka and Tell me What the Side Release Staps Are For...
And how to fold it.

If that's what the staps and buckles are for.

IDK.

What's the actual deal with this thing?

And what's the horozontal velcro strip along the inside of the back for?

It was a freebie.



Thanks,

WGON

The sleeves snap together. Obviously. It can be used as a straight jacket apparently. Rof

The back zipper is to breathe if you warm up etc. The inside Velcro is to hold down or attach the hood or secure some missing article. Maybe search though it is unlabeled, parkas in general might show some of the same features.

Well, it cost me zero dollars. Only thing I have with a hood at the moment too.

Been sitting in the closet since last winter.

And it's starting to get pretty damn cold here in Ann Arbor the last couple days.

Was just curious about the straps and locking fastereners and whatnot.

It doesn't have a zipper or buttons either - It velcros all the way up the front.

Odd.

Ask a fisherman. It is for use as that, I think. You said Ann Harbor? Isn't that fishing?

 Quoting: rewind


What back zipper?

That's somekind of nylon strappy thing with a fastener on the end and another fasterner on the back of the hood.

They click together.

Like the sleeves.

The velco is way down the inside of the back.

It's not for a hood.

The thing already has an attached hood.

Re: Someone Help Me Identify This Un-Labeled Parka and Tell me What the Side Release Staps Are For...
Had/have one like that
vaguely recall, quizzically pondering the strap clasps
seeming to go together
being like some of my hand made camping gear
The item being suspect rather than complimentary

I'm temp. lost
too much memory demand
I tried using it like a duffle bag over my shoulder with a strap
IDK I can't remember,
maybe I'll go look sometime
It's closed-off and wrapped up pending salvation
cause it all got filthy and rank

some liner/reverser thing

And additionally, I noticed many items looking unlabeled
were part of sets of objects from compiled caches
example from a emerg. kit in a car. etc.

I think this is one of those compact/backpack parka things that are supposed to roll up super tight and you use those straps with clips to keep it in a tight roll for storing on or in your backpack. Can double as a pillow.

How you do that is another question.

The straps/buckles are for packing the coat up for minimal storage in your pack. The velcro is for attaching a thermal pad to yhe inside for additional insulation to protect your back.

It's the inside liner for a parka shell. The attachments connect to the outer shell. I have a few of them like that, but the are usually snaps.

Rolls up and secures with the straps into a compacted package.
