RARE Russian Army Flora Camo Winter Padded Pants VSR-98 Warm Field Trousers 52-4 #646
Step into authentic cold-war heritage and heavy-duty winter gear with these original Russian Armed Forces winter field trousers in the iconic Flora (VSR-98 / Arbuz) camouflage pattern. Built specifically to withstand sub-zero temperatures and harsh field conditions, these padded military pants represent classic late-90s to 2000s Soviet/Russian textile engineering produced in 2004.
Crafted from thick, high-density cotton canvas and lined with heavy quilted wadding (vatin) and felt insulation, these trousers offer exceptional thermal protection and wind resistance. Featuring a high-waisted renal protection cut, metal D-rings for suspenders or gear attachment, and ankle tie straps with foot loops (stirrups) to lock out cold winds and snow, this piece is a rugged blend of functionality and military history.
Introduced in 1998 to replace the earlier VSR-93 Barvikha pattern, the VSR-98 Flora pattern became the primary general-issue camouflage for the Russian Ground Forces throughout the Second Chechen War and the 2000s era. The winter variant of the uniform was legendary among soldiers for its sheer density and thermal retention, utilizing traditional multi-layered felt and quilted cotton padding (vatin) before the introduction of modern synthetic layer systems. Today, genuine Flora winter field trousers in clean, wearable sizes are increasingly hard to find on the international market.
