Almost immediately after being introduced during the Vietnam War, the M65 parka was cemented into the collective unconsciousness of the Western world. It is the military parka everyone and their mother knows. The design reigns king — like the AK47, the iPhone, and the McDonald's hamburger, some version of the M65 will be made until the end of time.
The Austrians have been making their virtually identical clone of the US M65 for some time now. Like the original, it features a heavy, tightly-woven Cotton/Poly fabric. This tight and durable weave shrugs off scratches and abrasion, holding up fine in light rain and other inclement weather.
If you want a jacket you'll have for the rest of your life on this Earth and for the next three generations of your family, this is it.

Love it!
When I got my first one, I was at the bottom of the chest size (96-100) but the length (V-VI) was perfect. The jacket ended up being GIANT on me even with the drawstring pulled tight as this is meant for jacked Austrian soldiers. Returned and got an 88-92 in the same length and it fits great. I love the jacket, it is super comfortable and warm but not too hot at all. Naturally it is a little baggy but it fits great even without layers under it. Perfect for winter and spring. 100% from me, especially for the price.

Great buy
Came in great condition and fits well with provided sizing chart. Little bit baggy but it's supposed to be that way. I you want a slim fit buy a size down.

Österreichs Gloria!
This is hands down one of the best jackets I have ever purchased. It's clean and simple design is truly what allows it to get away with anything. Water rolls off it fairly fast but will get damp if you are in a downpour. Makes a great outer shell in the colder months or use it as your only jacket on those brisk spring days where a windbreaker is not enough and winter gear is too much. I bought 4 of these to share with like minded friends and they all agree as well.
