Helikon-Tex M65 Covert Jacket - Black

Black high-class military jacket made by the Polish brand Helikon-Tex, reminiscent of the famous M65 model, which has been worn by the American army since the Vietnam War. Made from durable material DuraCanvas, resistant to light rain and wind, making it useful in the autumn and winter seasons. Nylon Versastretch inserts with elastane are located above the chest pockets and on the elbows, and the same material is used for the hood.

The M65 jacket is a legendary symbol, combining practicality, comfort, and durability. It has gained numerous fans worldwide and has been used multiple times in cinematography. It was worn by characters played by actors such as Sylvester Stallone in Rambo, Robert De Niro in Taxi Driver, and Bronisław Cieślak in 07 zgłoś się.

DuraCanvas fabric

Made from durable DuraCanvas fabric, a blend of 65% polyester, 33% cotton, and 2% elastane. This material is highly resistant to abrasion and damage, as well as protects against light rain and wind. Elastane increases wearing comfort. The jacket also has a lining (65% polyester, 35% cotton).

Practical and spacious pockets

Equipped with 11 practical pockets:

  • two external chest pockets that allow for convenient transport of service equipment (closed with a flap and buttons)
  • two external hip pockets that can be used as dump bags (closed with a flap and buttons)
  • two internal magazine pockets (zippered)
  • an internal pocket on the left chest hidden under a windproof flap (zippered)
  • a pocket on the left forearm (zippered)
  • two rear external pockets (velcro closure)
  • a special internal pocket that can be detached and converted into a waist bag (zippered)

Strong closure and quick-release function

Strong Canadian buttons and a YKK zipper with a quick-release function form the main closure, allowing for rapid opening of the jacket and access to weapons or other items. The hood, hidden in the collar, offers protection against cold and rain.

    This is better than I expected. I already have the Helikon M-65, but wanted something a little smarter for office and city use. It's lined, so not as light as I expected, and not really suitable for hot days. It has many pockets, probably more than you need, but that's a good thing. The fit is quite neat, but there's no waist drawstring. The material seems robust, similar to the Pilgrim jacket. It looks good, feels good and is cheaper than most similar jackets, so a good buy. I'm 180cm, 74kg and got the Medium. It has room to layer, but still looks good with just a shirt underneath.

    In my opinion, this is quite a good option, although better ventilation would be useful, similar to that in the company’s other jackets, as well as drawcords at the waist and bottom hem. On the other hand, considering its different intended use, the gear works really well and doesn’t attract attention. It’s just a pity that the space for magazines is designed exclusively for 9 mm, because that is a limitation if you want to carry them on the side near the hook-and-loop pockets. A big plus is the waist pack hidden in the inner pocket, where you can safely keep documents and other items. I recommend the green-and-black version because it looks really great.

    Size: L

    I bought it for the period from autumn to spring: for light hikes, dog walking, and as a general winter, city, and hiking jacket. I wouldn’t take it on demanding hikes because it’s a bit heavy, but it’s ideal for relaxed camping and tent trips. It’s warm enough and comes with plenty of practical pockets. It doesn’t have a removable lining, and the hood can be hidden in the collar. At 179 cm and 84 kg, I bought a size L, which is a little big, but the cuffs can be tightened, so at least I can layer up well underneath it in winter, and I don’t need to bring gloves for shorter walks. There are buttons everywhere instead of Velcro fasteners, which is why I think I’ll be wearing this piece of clothing for decades.

    Size: L

    I bought it with the highest rating. It was mainly supposed to be for the woods, but it ultimately works well as an everyday jacket. It’s a great choice for people who value convenience and comfort in daily wear.

    I still managed to buy it at a promotional price ;) :) The jacket has lots of pockets, is carefully sewn, and is made from high-quality materials. The Versa Strech inserts are a great solution — thanks to them, for example, the hood hidden in the collar is less bulky.

    The jacket is warm and comfortable, making it great for spring and autumn. However, it has a cut that makes it quite tight when you wear a thicker layer underneath, so I wouldn't recommend it for winter.

    Size: L

    A very good jacket at an excellent price. At 185 cm tall and 96.5 kg, size L fits perfectly. Helikon performed exceptionally well — in terms of price, cut, colour, and material alike. On top of that, it has plenty of pockets, and the quick-release system works flawlessly. I definitely recommend both the jacket itself and shopping at Military.

    An excellent jacket — it has lots of practical, well-placed pockets and is very well designed, and the stretchy panels are a big plus. The sale price is impressive :) I recommend it.

    To give some context, I am 1.76 m tall, weigh 87 kg, and have a chest size of 112 cm. I wanted a jacket for the mid-season. I chose size M (EU standard because I have a Helikon-Tex Woodsman Shirt in size L (EU) and had to shorten the sleeves by 3 cm; with size M, I no longer need to shorten the sleeves). With just a t-shirt, there's no problem. When I add a flannel shirt, the sleeves are slightly tight around the arms (maybe because the jacket is new). Then, over the shirt, I added a sleeveless fleece vest. I can close the jacket, but I feel it's tight. This jacket has a lot of pockets, which is great. However, I found the front lower pockets are not deep enough for me; they're missing about 2 cm in my opinion. Now, I just have to try it this autumn to confirm whether getting this jacket was a good choice.

    I chose this jacket because it doesn't have Velcro, which wears out quickly with frequent use. The jacket is very spacious, has many functional pockets, and is comfortably cut. It is made of high-quality materials. I think it's a good purchase for this price.

    Great product, both in terms of material quality and craftsmanship. I am 180 cm tall, have a chest circumference of 98 cm, and weigh 73 kg. Size S is perfect.

    The jacket is great not only because of its style, the number and arrangement of pockets, but also the material seems very solid. It looks excellent, so it will work both for work and for outings in the city. I managed to buy it at a promotional price, so I am very satisfied because it is really worth its price.

    At such a promotional price, this offer is really not to be missed. A classic style in a new edition. Solid workmanship and precise sewing. An additional advantage for me is the fact that I am choosing a product from a Polish brand.

    The Helikon-Tex M65 jacket is the best model I've had so far. Very solid and made from high-quality materials. It has many practical pockets, a well-fitting hood, and a comfortable 'mini kidney bag' which works great when traveling.

    Good quality - enough pockets. This is good. Fabric is very nice to wear, it is soft and breathable. Canadian buttons are great. Zippers are quality YKK. Nothing to complain.
