Developed as a field shirt for the Norwegian Army and first brought to the attention of Royal Marines training there, it was made part of the British Army issue about 1990. Made of 100% knitted cotton with a plush terry loop pile lining, it has a quarter zip with a collar similar in style to a turtleneck when fully zipped. Warmest when the collar is fully zipped and worn folded down, it can also be worn as shown if needed to cool down. Said to be not very good to wear if it gets wet, it is perfect worn with just a heavy wool sweater in temps down to freezing.
Could not pass this up online as part of a 5 for $18 deal! Well worth the money at that price!
