Helikon M65 Covert Jacket - Green Black

High-quality military jacket designed by the Polish brand Helikon-Tex. The cut is based on the iconic M65 model introduced by the U.S. Army during the Vietnam War. It is made from durable DuraCanvas fabric. The material provides protection against light rain and wind, making it a practical choice for autumn and winter. The outer layer also includes flexible Versastrech fibers.

The M65 is a globally recognized classic – comfortable, durable, and functional. It has gained widespread popularity and has appeared in numerous films and TV shows. It was worn by iconic characters such as Sylvester Stallone in Rambo, Robert De Niro in Taxi Driver.

DuraCanvas fabric

The jacket is crafted from tough DuraCanvas fabric, made of 65% polyester, 33% cotton, and 2% elastane. This material stands out for its resistance to wear and tear, while also offering protection from wind and light rain. The presence of elastane improves comfort during use.

Practical and spacious pockets

The jacket is equipped with a total of as many as 11 practical pockets:

  • two external pockets on the chest, allowing for convenient transportation of official equipment (closed with a patch with buttons)
  • two external pockets on the hips that can be used as drop bags (closed with a patch with buttons)
  • two interior pockets for carrying magazines (zippered)
  • an interior pocket on the left chest under the wind shield flap (zippered)
  • a pocket on the left forearm (zippered)
  • two outer back pockets (Velcro closure)
  • a special inner pocket that can be detached and transformed into a waist bag (zipper closure)

Strong clasp and tear-off function

The jacket features sturdy Canadian-style buttons and a YKK zipper with a break-away function, allowing rapid access to a weapon or gear. A hood concealed in the collar offers protection from rain and cold.

    The jacket is excellently made, and the pockets are practically arranged. The quick-release zip mechanism works perfectly. The size corresponds to the chart provided on the website. Every military enthusiast should consider adding it to their collection. In my opinion, this modern version of the Helikon jacket is better in terms of practicality than the classic M65, and its appearance makes it suitable for everyday wear. The covert version, unlike the M65, doesn’t have insulation—some see this as an advantage, others as a drawback; so at around +5°C, it’s worth wearing a warm fleece (e.g., Patriot or Alpha Tactical by Helikon) and thermal underwear.

    The jacket may not be suitable for extreme conditions, but for everyday use in the city or at work, it works brilliantly. The pockets have been excellently designed, they're very spacious, and the material is pleasant to the touch. This product fits perfectly into the 'covert' category, because when you wear it with smart clothes, it doesn't stand out from the crowd – it looks like an ordinary, stylish military-type jacket, and it offers much greater comfort and convenience for carrying various items. The large pocket capacity is one thing, but the comfort of movement even when they're fully loaded is remarkable. It also doesn't draw attention when you're carrying extra things. As I mentioned, this is not a jacket for mountain expeditions, but it wasn't designed for that. For everyday wear, it protects against the wind very well – especially the collar, which is very useful – and it doesn't restrict movement, which is extremely important for me. Many other jackets, even branded ones, unfortunately don't meet this requirement. Another advantage is the double fastening – with a zip and buttons, which allows better adjustment for warmth and provides a sense of security, because even if the zip gets stuck or breaks (which is unlikely at this quality), there's another option. The price also seems appropriate for the quality – fully justified. I definitely recommend it!

    The jacket is solidly made and looks durable, well designed in terms of practicality. Unfortunately, as is often the case nowadays, the sizing doesn't make much sense. Every size is too short and too wide (especially in the waist). The proportions of this and many other jackets on the website are made for short and stout people. I’m 190 cm tall and weigh 78 kg and none of the jackets fit in terms of length, and size L is almost double my width. Unfortunately I had to return it.

    Amazing jacket. Size M was perfect for 181 cm and 83 kg. Dispatch as always was fast from this shop, and returns are handled with no problems. Pity there’s not just one black version instead of two shades. The cut is timeless, I’ve also got the M-65 from 'Brandit' in dark camo. There's something here for everyone. Recommended for autumn, spring and mild winter.

    The jacket is very well made. The material seems solid. I think it will last a long time. The large number of pockets makes it easy to keep everything organised, for example during travel.

    Great jacket, more suitable for city use due to its cut, but it is also suitable for a trip to the forest. It has many well-designed pockets and is made of outstanding material.

    An exceptional jacket for daily use. The pockets are very well designed. The cut fits superbly. The materials are very durable and the colour does not fade. I highly recommend it.

    As always, the service and shipping from militaria.pl are of the highest standard – I ordered the jacket yesterday, and it was already with me today. I am 180 cm tall and weigh 75 kg, size M fits perfectly. In case of frost, even a down jacket can fit underneath as additional insulation. The workmanship is flawless. After using it for a while, I will share my opinion on its durability, but I expect that, as with all Helikon products, everything will be fine.

    Great jacket, a very practical version of the classic M65. Helikon knows how to refresh a classic. The cut and number of pockets are spot on. Extra point for the foldable hood. I recommend!

    I've had this jacket for a long time and I'm very satisfied. After numerous washes it hasn't changed colour and the material still looks like new – with no signs of pilling. The pockets are just brilliant in terms of both their number and arrangement.

    Unfortunately, the jacket was not a good fit – the size did not suit me. The workmanship and materials are of good quality, but on me it looked like a hanging bat. Other than that, I have no complaints.

    The jacket looks very good. The number of pockets should satisfy even those who carry a lot of things. For winter use, a fleece will be useful. I have not yet had the chance to test its waterproofness. I definitely recommend it.

    Very good jacket. Size M turned out to be perfect for me at 184 cm tall and 89 kg. The downside is not being able to try it on in-store, but for club members, delivery is free anyway.

    My first impressions are very positive. The jacket is great, plenty of pockets, attractive cut. The sizing runs large, but after exchanging for a smaller size it fits perfectly. I recommend it.

    Iconic jacket. The M65 is a classic, which almost everyone knows, it's very stylish and goes with everything. Additionally, it has a good ventilation system and excellent material. I recommend it.
