The N-3B is Alpha Industries' heritage take on the USAF snorkel parka, the first jacket the company made for the US military. It pairs a water-resistant nylon shell with a channel-quilted lining, a faux-mouton-lined snorkel hood with removable faux fur, a full-length storm flap and knit cuffs. Reinforced elbow patches and an MA-1 sleeve utility pocket nod to its flight-jacket roots. It suits anyone after a long, warm, military-style winter coat; reviewers rate it highly for warmth and build, though it runs roomy and the faux fur draws mixed views.

Owners rate the N-3B highly, praising its warmth, sturdy build and authentic military look. The main complaints are the roomy fit and the faux fur trim.
The N-3B is a parka based on the USAF Snorkel parka. It has a nylon outer shell and a polyester fill to keep cold air out, and the lining is channel quilted. It is water resistant and made for extreme cold weather.
The snorkel hood is lined with faux mouton and has removable faux fur trim. A buckled adjuster tightens it. A full-length storm flap and ottoman knit cuffs protect against the elements. The elbows are reinforced with patches, and the sleeves have shirring.
The parka has two exterior handwarmer pockets, two lower flap pockets and one interior patch pocket. An MA-1 utility pocket on the sleeve has a red ribbon on its zipper. The style is unisex and fits true to size in a men's core fit. For a tighter fit, size down from your normal size. Women are recommended to choose one size down.
