What’s the difference between Surplus Liners, Jacket Liners, and Parka Liners?
-
Surplus Liners – the broad category that covers all types of military liners, from field jackets to parkas. They’re versatile, modular pieces of army cold-weather gear designed to add insulation and adaptability.
-
Jacket Liners – designed specifically for field jackets like the classic M65, a military jacket liner buttons inside to create a warm mid-weight coat, but can also be worn on its own.
-
Parka Liners – heavier and longer than jacket liners, these are made for full-length military parkas. A parka liner provides maximum insulation in freezing conditions and often includes quilted or fleece construction.
In short: Surplus Liners is the umbrella category, while Jacket Liners and Parka Liners are specific to certain coats. Choosing the right one ensures your gear matches the original military design and delivers the warmth and functionality soldiers relied on in the field.
