My review of the surplus jacket every american probably has - M65 From Jonh Rambo to James Sutherland, everyone uses this

[AN/ALR56]

The internet lies; its color IRL is far more white than those pictures look like.


The Good:

• Roomy (i recommend using a size smaller than otherwise you wear, this thing is designed with combat webbing and stuff underneath it.
• Not that hot but can make you windproof, its fairly thin so even if its warm you can wear it.
• Huge pockets, i estimate you can put 4 m16 magazines in each of the 2 lower pockets.
• Has adjustable cuffs and you can extend a triangular thingie for rain or if you wear gloves.

The Bad

• I got a Brazilian made clone, i assume the original surplus one that is 20$ has far superior quality
• The ripstop fabric feels like canvas.
• The hood it comes with is nearly useless
• It is not waterproof and it will get wet fast,although it dries very fast.
• Doesn't come with a liner (My case only) and it costs half of the entire jacket.
• Get the ones with metal zippers, the plastics ones sucks.

Anyway i give it a 8/10 i wear it nearly daily to go to college, it looks cool enough with a pair of jeans and brown boots, so its my daily college driver ever since winter (in august) here.

Theres tons of different makers.
You can probably find those in any surplus store for like 20$

are you a euro or something? Americans don't wear these and they cost way more than $20.

Im pretty sure you can find those used army surplus ones for quite cheap.

About the american thingies, i thought it was a pop culture thing, nearly every movie,game, comic i saw had at least one character using it.

Every misunderstood loner in the movies wore these jackets, from 1969-1985. It's the Vietnam era army issued jacket.

Edgelord wannabe commies and edgy, wannabe militant left-wing faggots like to wear these jackets because they think it makes them look hard or some shit like that.
