The jacket matches the description; it's a classic model, so there's nothing to complain about. The downside, however, is the material—it doesn't let air through, which makes it easy to get hot in it. Also, be careful with the sizing, because in my opinion, it runs a bit small.
Alpha Industries MA-1 TT Two Tone Jacket - Night Purple
The MA-1 is crafted from durable, abrasion-resistant fabric designed to shield against cold, wind, and moisture. The reversible design, inspired by the original function for US Air Force pilots, enables wearing both the traditional version and a reflective orange side for enhanced visibility in challenging conditions. Its well-considered cut and multiple pockets make the jacket ideal for everyday use and outdoor activities.
Durable materials and reversible design
The exterior is crafted from durable, tear-resistant nylon, offering excellent protection against wind and moisture. With reversible wear, this jacket offers enhanced functionality. The inner lining, featuring a bright orange color, harks back to its original purpose—ensuring pilots were more visible to rescue teams in case of emergency landings or shoot-downs. Nowadays, this clever feature can boost safety for pedestrians on dimly lit roads.
Thermal strip and elastic cuffs
The primary zipper on the MA-1 TT is a one-way zipper featuring an eco-leather handle for easy fastening, even while wearing gloves. An internal thermal strip prevents heat loss by securing the zipper. Elastic drawstrings on the collar, cuffs, and waistband ensure a better fit and added protection against the cold.
5 practical pockets
The MA-1 TT includes five spacious pockets:
- two external pockets with patches secured by snaps,
- two internal pockets also fastened with snaps,
- a pocket on the left sleeve that closes with a zipper.
A distinctive Remove Before Flight tag is positioned on the sleeve next to the pocket, highlighting the military essence. Additionally, a tag with the manufacturer's logo is found on the left sleeve.
