It's a very hard item to find with its wires and connectors all intact. (3-5) Above on the left is a 100% complete F-2 heated jacket liner. (3-3) The photo above shows the connecting points from the F-2 pants to the inside of the F-2 jacket. (3-xx) Shown above for comparison is the F-2 heated glove shown on the left and the F-2/3 glove shown right. (3-xx) Shown above in an upgraded photo are the four main pieces that make up the F-2. The A-12 mittens may have been a mistake of the creator of the booklet since in the F-2 Booklet they show the A-12 mittens, but describe them as the A-9 Also, where the A-12 mittens are shown, I used the more correct A-9 mittens. I have left out the wool shirt and long underwear. (3-2) Above is a recreation of the illustration found in the F-2 Instruction Booklet.
