The classic, tried-and-true Bundeswehr sweater is made according to the original Bundeswehr quality sweater. Each upper arm of the wool sweater features a nationality badge. Ideal for the cold season, the knitted sweater is wonderfully warm, robust, and provides a comfortable wearing climate. The polyacrylic material warms and insulates in cold weather, while absorbing moisture and keeping the skin dry in warmer conditions. The sweater has reinforced elbow and shoulder areas and includes shoulder patches with tabs and a chest pocket with an integrated pen holder. The longer cut protects the kidney area. Knitted cuffs at the sleeve ends and collar help maintain the sweater's shape and protect against the cold. The sweater is perfect for outdoor wear, whether worn as an outer layer or underneath. On cold days, the collar can be zipped up to protect the entire neck area. When it gets warmer, it can be easily unzipped, and the collar can be folded down. Thus, the sweater can be versatilely worn as a turtleneck or without a turtleneck.
