GERMAN HV FIREMAN'S GORE-TEX JACKET USED

Originally issued to German municipal fire services, this High-Visibility Fireman's GORE-TEX® Jacket is the genuine article — a heavy-duty turnout-style coat built to keep professional firefighters dry, visible, and protected through long shifts in foul weather. Now released from service and ready to move through your store, it's a standout surplus piece that crosses over to preppers, cold-weather workers, collectors, and anyone who appreciates rugged European-issue outerwear.

The shell is a tough, dark navy/black flame-resistant fabric backed with a waterproof, breathable GORE-TEX® membrane — the same membrane technology trusted on premium outdoor and military shells. Bright yellow-green high-visibility panels with twin silver retroreflective stripes wrap the torso, sleeves, and hem, giving 360° conspicuity in low light and headlight beams. The result is a coat that performs as well on a rainy job site, dockyard, or roadside breakdown as it did on the back of a German pumper truck.

Built for the Job

• Waterproof & breathable: GORE-TEX® membrane construction blocks rain and wind while venting body heat.
• Heavy-duty front closure: Two-way zipper backed by a full hook-and-loop storm flap to seal out weather.
• High-visibility striping: Yellow-green hi-vis panels with reflective bands on chest, back, sleeves, and hem.
• Pocket layout: Flapped chest pocket with hook-and-loop closure, plus two lower bellows pockets with hook-and-loop flaps.
• Patch panels: Hook-and-loop fields on the chest and shoulder for unit, rank, or morale patches.
• Adjustable cuffs: Hook-and-loop tabs cinch the sleeves down over gloves.
• Padded collar: Stand-up/fold-down collar with insulation for neck protection and warmth.

Who It Sells To

This is a strong cross-merchandising piece. Firefighter and EMS enthusiasts grab it for the authentic Bundeswehr/German municipal pedigree. Outdoorsmen, ice fishermen, hunters, and dog handlers use it as a foul-weather work coat. Roadside contractors, tow operators, and farm workers value the reflective striping. Collectors and European surplus fans round out the audience — genuine German hi-vis turnout jackets don't surface on the market often.

Condition & Authenticity

Genuine surplus, used. Each jacket was field-issued before being released through surplus channels, so expect honest service character — minor scuffs, faded markings, and signs of long-term storage are part of the package. Hi-vis tape and reflective elements remain functional. This is the real, originally-issued German fire service garment, not a copy.
