Battery powered shoulder straps!! I don't know for sure...could not find a battery compartment.
Got a Hiki Gebirgs Wind Jacket the other day, and the boards that came with it were...well they defy description in polite company.
DAY GLOW PIPING
really, look at the pics! I set them up with some other period gebirgs straps for comparison. Like a comparison is needed. Ain't they wild! I am glad I did not buy any of these separately.
So here is an item that Hiki has done very badly. Very. They could have done worse though. Green lamé perhaps? Do not buy their insignia...or maybe yes, for that novelty gift. Has anyone else gotten uniforms with "gift" insignia?" Usually I do not use what comes with uniforms I buy because they are Heer, and I give them to friends or newbies. The insignia that came with Trident Military uniform items was nice...the sizing on their garments (Indian or Paki made...horrid creosote smell, and corrosion on all alloy buttons from damp storage...) was a nightmare, and the zelts I got had to have all the buttons removed, corrosion marks cleaned, and buttons put in a tumbler to clean them up.
So, beware Hiki insignia for now....

.....plus, they are flimsy, floppy things, like a dachshunds ears. No rigidity to them. You could let them hang down the back of your tunic, or hook them to your rucksack for nighttime movements. Beats the luminous tape "cats-eyes" by a mile!
