The Rothco M-65 with its quilted liner in place is the warmer of the two. Pull the liner out and it becomes a lighter shell. The DRI DUCK is a single-weight canvas jacket with a fixed lining.

The DRI DUCK's heavy canvas is the more abrasion-resistant shell for rough work. The Rothco's cotton/poly blend resists rain better but is lighter. Both hold up well with normal care.

Is the Rothco worth stepping up to over the DRI DUCK?

If you want the classic M-65 features, the removable liner and stowable hood are real advantages. If you need a bigger size or a tougher work shell, the DRI DUCK is the better fit.

Does the Rothco run true to size?

The M-65 is cut roomy to layer over a sweater, and the liner adds bulk. Most owners stay with their normal size rather than sizing up.

Can the DRI DUCK handle rain?

It sheds light rain but is not a waterproof shell. The Rothco's water-repellent finish handles wet weather better.
