TIP: The online Bushwalk Inventory System can help bushwalkers with a variety of bushwalk planning tasks, including: Manage which items they take bushwalking so that they do not forget anything they might need, plan meals for their walks, and automatically compile food/fuel shopping lists (lists of consumables) required to make and cook the meals for each walk. It is particularly useful for planning for groups who share food or other items, but is also useful for individual walkers.

I saw very similar things when I was in England in the 80s
Made for wearing under a business suit, sort of down john john tops so perhaps these are left-overs from sales in the Northern half of the world.
Interesting in that they have sizes to XXL

Bought one last weekend. Mainly for travel and casual use but thought it might be good as a camp layer or sleeping booster.
Reminds me of an old synthetic army jacket liner that I was issued with.

The lack of collar/hood seems weird at first but when you’re layering how many hoods and collars do you need?

Hmmm. Odd cut. Designed as an inner down layer. Model wearing flannel pants. Just wondering if this was designed to wear under a suit?

Yep I think it is discreetly worn under city-wear.

I already have two of their UL jackets so not needing one of these!

Hmmm Did you read my post?

Not having a collar makes them more discrete and much less bulky around the neck and this is exactly why the military liners are cut this way. I may or may not be interested in one of these for myself but I think they definitely have a place in the wardrobe
