- Is the M-43 Field Jacket warm enough for winter?
- No. Alpha Industries rates it for light weather, and the shell is a cotton-nylon sateen with a corduroy lining. It works for chilly days over a sweater, not for freezing temperatures.
- How does the M-43 compare with a heavier field jacket?
- It is lighter and shorter. The M-43 uses a sateen shell and corduroy lining and stops above the hip, while padded military field jackets add insulation and length for colder weather.
- What is the fit like?
- Alpha Industries lists it as Core fit, which is their regular cut. The jacket ends above the hip, so it sits shorter than a car coat or parka.
- What pockets does it have?
- Two chest patch pockets and two lower patch pockets, all with flaps, plus adjustable button cuffs.
- How should I care for it?
- Machine wash cold with like colors, do not bleach, tumble dry low, and use cool iron heat or dry clean.
