One of our longest standing traditions in stocking surplus is always having a tracksuit available. And like many surplus items it's getting harder and harder to scrounge up the stock, but we were elated when we found these fresh new-gen duds.
These new-wave polyester tracksuits look and definitely feel more modern and sportswear-like with a silky sheen that just wasn't present on the older models. The colorway is a little less garish to the eyes and if someone wasn't looking hard enough at the iron cross and "Bundeswehr" logo they'd be none the wiser that it isn't just one of the million Nike/Adidas clones out there.
The Bundeswehr took a look at the US army/navy/marines and noticed a plethora of highly reflective PT belts, probably laughed their butts off at how dorky it looked, and simply added reflective trim to the jacket & pants instead.
The bundie boys kept these pants simple as they should be. Drawstring waist, partial zip sides for easy doffing when used as "warmup pants", and they even threw on yet another logo onto the front thigh. The reflective element is present in a small stripe across the knee area.
