I had a great-uncle in the 10th Mountain and I remember him telling stories about how they trained and went overseas with all the mountain and ski gear, then, after landing in Italy, proceeded to trade away their stuff for more temperate weather clothing. Just something to think about.

I'm sure we'll find uses for this set, even if we have to part it out and convert it a bit. From what I can see, it looks interesting. BTW, those are shoepacs, not jump boots. Look at the color illustration at the link.
