I've no clue.. but that swiss camo is perfect, can't even see it on the forums :lol:
Sure, someone may one day kill me with my own gun.
But they'll have to beat me to death with it because it's empty.

A computer once beat me at chess, but it was no match for me at kick boxing.

:lol: :lol: Its funny you should mention that..

Im no giant, 5 8" but the jacket is "just" the right side of being comfortable. This was the only one that fitted me in the shop. The body sizing is ok but the arms are too short by about just under 1 cm. Its not too bad but I notice it. Sometimes the sleeves ride up. Pulling the shoulders couple times brings them down.

Is it a Swiss thing? Do they all have short arms for their bodies. Maybe its Otzis revenge.

Man that thing has pockets though! The cam is brilliant in autumn woodland and is surpringly effective in different terrains too. Face net is good for bug attacks. Its got huge internal pockets. its wind and water resistance is good.

Its like a wearable swiss army knife :D

But do the Swiss only mobilise midgets? With flippers?

My friend Franz is Swiss. He is only about 5 3" maybe a bit more.
I think there is an Alpine type, small, but tough wiry guys.

Otzi tribute - men.

:lol:
yep! Surely the same tribe that makes the Austrian camo parkas with the elbow sized sleeves :|
I'm 6' 1" an I could never find my size in either Swiss or Austrian parkas when there were tons of them all over the French flea markets and in the surplus shops!

The little miners of the Alps, you see? :wink:
