Everything you'll read in these reviews are no joke. All the length you'll need. All the warmth you'll need. It's snug as all get out. It feels like your head is in a vice if that vice was the paws of a giant teddy bear.

It has a removable DOD tag on the outer and a simple ID tag inside, nothing else in the way to make it uncomfortable. Grab it in the dark and slap it on your head, no worries of it being in the wrong orientation.

The women in my family all noted how bizarre a the knit patter is. Seemingly tight but also very loose and breathable. The wool itself feels different than other wool clothes I own but I think that's because of the knit style.

It's barely itchy before washing unlike some wool surplus I've obtained over the years.

I got the navy blue. It is an incredibly deep and dark navy, almost looks black in low light but frankly I prefer it.
