Military Ushankas

Our military ushanka are a type of fur hat originated in Russia and is often associated with Soviet and Russian military uniforms. They feature ear flaps that can be tied up to the crown of the hat or worn down to cover the ears and neck for added warmth in cold weather, and pair well with camo and military neck gaiters for full coverage. While not commonly worn as part of a military uniform in the United States, the army ushanka has been adopted by some units for use in cold weather training or deployment in frigid climates.

Military ushanka designed for the field

Our tactical ushankas are made from durable materials such as nylon or polyester, and lined with insulating materials such as fleece or Thinsulate. They may also feature a waterproof or water-resistant outer layer to protect the wearer from rain or snow. They also have other features designed for field use, for example, the ear flaps may have snap closures to keep them in place when worn down, and the hat may have a chin strap to keep it secured on the wearer’s head during high winds or other challenging conditions. Some of our ushankas also have a camouflage pattern to help you to blend in with their surroundings.

Overall, they are a functional and durable piece of cold-weather military clothing designed to protect the wearer from the elements while they are on duty.

Camo ushanka to stay out of sight

Our camo ushankas are designed to help you to blend in with your surroundings in outdoor environments. Camouflage patterns vary depending on the intended use, with different patterns designed for woodland, desert, or urban environments, a principle that applies equally to our military caps, camo and military beanies, and military boonie hats. While a camo ushanka can help you to stay out of sight in certain environments, it’s important to note that camouflage is not foolproof and there are other factors that can affect visibility, such as movement and sound. Additionally, in some areas it may be illegal to wear camouflage clothing or accessories, especially in urban or populated areas.

Overall, our military surplus ushanka can be a very useful piece of cold-weather military gear for outdoor enthusiasts or military personnel who need to stay concealed in certain environments.
