The genuine Czech Army Ushanka is a classic Cold War winter hat. Cold War Military Heritage Originally issued to soldiers of the Czechoslovakian People's Army (Československá lidová armáda - ČSLA) as part of the M85 uniform system, this winter cap represents robust Eastern Bloc engineering. Each hat is preserved in pristine Supergrade unissued condition. It features a removable metal Czech shield badge on the front flap, capturing genuine military history. Winter Insulation & Comfort Built to combat biting central European winters, the outer shell is made from a tough 65% polyester and 35% cotton twill blend that resists wind and wear. The interior features a soft, quilted lining paired with dense, grey wool-pile fur trim. This high-density pile acts as an efficient thermal barrier, keeping the head warm during sub-zero outdoor activities. Convertible Protective Design For adaptable wear in shifting climates, the button-fastened ear flaps deploy quickly to shield the ears, jaw, and cheeks. When the wind drops, the side panels fold upwards and button securely over the crown for a streamlined look. This design is highly practical for camping, bushcraft, and winter hiking, offering superior utility compared to standard civilian hats. Equip your cold-weather kit with this genuine Eastern Bloc winter hat.
