I was wondering if anyone can tell me more about these hoods? I think one is an earlier version than the other.

Does anyone know what jacket these were worn with and when they started issuing them?

Those are interesting.

 

Recently a friend gave me one thats from the Air Force and he was issued it a few years ago.

 

I would guess these were worn with the WEP style jackets that were hood less? or part of a winter survival kit?

 

The WEP jackets also had a set of trousers.Ones Im familiar with are the standard green nylon.

Thanks for the input Doyler. I appreciate it. That is a good guess. Is your Air Force one the same design as these?

Same basic design and configuration other tha the under arm straps are velcro fastened.Zipper front.Synthetic fur trim.

 

The hood can be rolled back and fur edge buttoned down.(which is how its is in photo)
