    Ah man I still have mine I bought it in the late 90's from some gents training in Botswana.
    Brilliant as a winter suit in the bush. After the many, many washes required to get that bloody charcoal out I sewed an old tracksuit into the longs. I still use it here for working on the car and such outside in winter.

    TOP TIP

    Like we used to do on exercise.. cut the charcoal lining out easy to do , your left with a quality realy lightweight overjacket, you can scrumple into a pocket not waterproof but good cammo.

    Good old squaddies trick...we just used to leave the hood bit in so you couldnt tell...brings back some memories...but a lot more comfy than 3 days covered in hot sweaty graphite poo
