N-2B

The N2B flight jacket was used by U.S. Air Force – air and ground crews in extreme cold weather. It was designed to be worn with the matching Extreme Cold Weather Pants. Prior to the 1970s the N2B was made with a genuine coyote fur trim to protect the face against snow and wind. However, by the mid-1960s the genuine fur was changed to the white synthetic fur, due to requests from animal rights groups. A notable feature is the slash pass-thru pockets designed so pilots could reach into their pant pockets without taking their hands out of the jacket pockets in extreme cold weather conditions.
