Doobon coat

The Doobon coat (Hebrew: מעיל דובון | me'eel Doobon), also called the Dubon military cold weather parka, Dubon winter parka, Dubon parka or IDF winter parka, is an Israeli windproof military winter coat issued to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) of the State of Israel since the early 1970s. It replaced the British-style heavy woollen Greatcoats and Battledress jackets, and US M-1943 and M-1965 field jackets previously worn by Israeli infantry and elite units during the 1967 Six-Day War, the 1967-1970 War of Attrition, and the 1973 Yom Kippur War. In Hebrew, the name 'Doobon' means 'Little Bear', purportedly because this winter coat makes anyone wearing it look like a teddybear – and by extension because it's as warm as a bear's hug.
