A few years ago, I bought this jacket in a shop in Poznań. Unfortunately, it's not as warm as, for example, the MA-1 BASIC MIL TEC. The Brandit jacket clearly uses less insulation, so the comfort, even with a slight frost, is low. I wore the MA-1 MIL TEC model at minus 8°C with a light fleece underneath and didn't feel any cold coming through the sleeves. If you're looking for a warmer jacket, I definitely recommend the MIL TEC.
Brandit CWU Jacket - Black
Comfortable jacket inspired by the popular MA-1 Flyers pilot jackets. The outer layer is made from durable nylon, which is characterized by increased resistance to wear and mechanical damage. The synthetic polyester fibre filling provides warmth on cooler days. The cuffs are finished with drawstrings.
nylon material, quilted lining
The outer layer is made from durable and tear-resistant nylon, which protects against wind and moisture. The filling of synthetic insulation effectively protects against cold and ensures good breathability. The polyester lining additionally enhances user comfort.
Windproof strip and elastic cuffs
The zip in the jacket is unidirectional and covered with a windproof strip, which prevents the cold from penetrating under the jacket. Elastic cuffs and drawstring at the bottom ensure proper temperature regulation and fit to the silhouette. The jacket features a high collar with a classic military look.
5 practical pockets
The jacket has five spacious pockets:
- two front ones closed with flaps with velcro
- one on the left sleeve with a zip
- one internal with a zip
- one internal open
The pocket on the sleeve contains 4 patched, small open pockets for storing pens or other small, elongated items.

This is a good bomber from a reputable brand. The material is durable and the jacket is very warm – perfect for late autumn and early spring. In addition to the outer pockets, there are also two inner ones: one with a zip, the other with Velcro. It's hard to find a better deal at this price. I recommend it.

The jacket is comfortable and functional. The external pockets are practical and the internal ones are really spacious. The material is stiff, which makes the jacket look neat, but at the same time it doesn't restrict movement because there's enough room inside. The downside is the rather poor finishing — sometimes you have to stitch threads at the collar and the cuffs get fluffy. Another minus is the filling falling out from under the lining, which slightly spoils the appearance (although not much stays on clothes). Overall, it's a decent but average quality jacket. It's worth considering buying, preferably during a promotion.

Well made. Size XL is suitable for a person who is 181 cm tall and weighs 105 kg. It seems warm. The front pockets have flaps and extra inserts which keep small items from falling out.
-
The jacket is great. I highly recommend it, the shipping was very fast. Customer service and communication are of a high standard, except for one thing – exchanging for a different size took quite a lot of time, this is something worth improving. Nevertheless, I highly recommend the shop.
-
Great jacket, very practical thanks to the large pockets. The quality is on par with more popular models like Alpha, especially at this price. Just make sure to choose the right size, because it’s larger than standard.

Very high quality, great warmth, I've had it for several seasons already and it performs flawlessly.

A classic and nice jacket for any weather. Good quality at a good price.
-
One of the best jackets for this price :) I rode a motorcycle in it for a long time. It's comfortable and warm. The only downside is draughts at the zip, but that's understandable at high speeds.
-
A very well made and warm jacket.
-
The jacket is no different from more expensive Alpha Industries models. The service and delivery are top notch. I definitely recommend it.
