I have mixed feelings. The material and build quality are excellent, but the size L fits very unusually — as if it were tailored for a very slim build. When I tried to reach forward with my arm, the jacket rode up and restricted movement, which is disappointing. I have other jackets, softshells, fleeces, and sweatshirts in size L, and only this one fits somewhat strangely — rather elegant, but not very comfortable. However, if it fits you well, you will probably be very pleased with it.
Alpha Industries MA-1 TT Two Tone Jacket - Dark Green
The MA-1 in a dark green shade is crafted from durable, damage-resistant materials, protecting against cold, wind, and moisture. Double-sided design is inspired by its original use for USAF aviators, allowing it to be worn classically or with the orange, reflective side, improving visibility in challenging conditions. Its practical design and numerous pockets make the jacket ideal for everyday wear as well as outdoor activities.
Durable materials and double-sided design
The jacket's surface is made from durable, rip-resistant nylon, which protects against wind and moisture. The MA-1 can be worn reversibly. The inner side features a reflective orange colour, referencing its original purpose for USAF pilots. In case of malfunction or being shot down, it increased the chances of quick location by rescuers. Contemporary use proves useful when moving on unlit roads outside the city.
Thermal strip and elastic cuffs
The MA-1 TT model is closed with a single-direction zipper finished with an eco-leather pull, facilitating handling in gloves. Internal thermal strip shields against cold. Elastic drawstrings at the collar, wrists, and waist protect against the cold and provide a better fit to the silhouette.
5 practical pockets
The model is equipped with five spacious pockets:
- two at the front with flap and snap fastenings,
- two internal with snap fastenings,
- one located on the left sleeve with a zipper.
A Remove Before Flight tag on the sleeve by the pocket adds a military accent. On the left sleeve, there is a tag with the manufacturer's logo.

The ideal choice. The green colour is actually even nicer than in the photo – a deep, dark green, not muted. The fit is tailored. Best suited for temperatures above 10 degrees.

The jacket matches the description, it's a classic model, so there's nothing to complain about. However, the downside is the material – it doesn't let air through, so it's easy to get sweaty in it. It's also worth paying attention to the sizing, because in my opinion, it's slightly smaller than stated.
