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.

Waterproof, warm, heavy (but not too heavy), and utilitarian.
This is a good winter jacket and a good rain jacket. With spring coming around, I really don't think you'd want to wear it in temps much higher than 60*F

Took about 3 weeks to Canada but well worth the wait. As new sealed in plastic, what a great find.

Long coat is long. Fit it to your size and you too can spend a whole day out shovelling sidewalks or posing along a city wall with your fashionable friends. Really sharp cut coat that is made to stand around outside in the winter with lots of room for warm clothes underneath. Extra big built in hood for your helmet... Hello Johnny, how are you today?
