The Rothco MA-1 is a military-style bomber jacket in a water-repellent nylon shell with a poly fiberfill lining, a zippered front with storm flap, and ribbed knit collar, cuffs and waistband. It reverses to a rescue orange polyester lining, so it doubles as a high-visibility layer. The cut is extra full, which suits layering over a hoodie or sweater. Against fashion bombers it trades a slim silhouette for room and utility: a zippered sleeve pocket, an outside pencil pocket, two front slash pockets and two interior slash pockets, with brass zippers and leather pull tabs. Owners rate it well overall, and the common complaints are about the boxy fit and lighter-than-expected warmth.
