Helikon-Tex M65 Covert Jacket - Taiga Green

High-quality military light jacket in Taiga Green color created by the Polish company Helikon-Tex. Inspired by the legendary M65 model, which has been used by the US Army since the Vietnam War. The light jacket is made from durable DuraCanvas material. The fabric provides protection against light rain and wind, making it perfect for the autumn-winter period. Above the chest pockets and on the elbows are inserts made from nylon fabric Versastrech with added elastane. The hood is also made from this fabric.

The M65 light jacket is an iconic design - practical, comfortable, and extremely durable. It gained great popularity worldwide and often appears in movies and TV series. It has been worn by characters portrayed by actors such as Sylvester Stallone in Rambo, Robert De Niro in Taxi Driver, and Bronisław Cieślak in 07 zgłoś się.

DuraCanvas Fabric

Light jacket made from resistant DuraCanvas material, containing 65% polyester, 33% cotton, and 2% elastane. The material is characterized by high resistance to abrasion and damage, and also protects against light rain and wind. The addition of elastane increases wearing comfort. The light jacket features a lining (65% polyester, 35% cotton).

Practical and spacious pockets

Equipped with 11 functional pockets:

  • two external chest pockets, which allow for convenient transport of service gear (closed with flap and buttons)
  • two external hip pockets, which can serve as dump pouches (closed with flap and buttons)
  • two internal magazine pockets (zippered)
  • internal pocket on the left chest under the windproof strip (zippered)
  • pocket on the left forearm (zippered)
  • two external pockets on the back (hook-and-loop closure)
  • special internal pocket that can be detached and transformed into a waist bag (zippered)

Solid closure and tear-away function

The main closure uses strong Canadian buttons and a YKK zipper with a tear-away function, allowing for quick opening of the light jacket to extract a weapon or other items. The light jacket has a hood that fits into the collar and provides protection against cold and rain.

    The Helikon-Tex M65 Covert jacket is a carefully designed product that combines classic M65 style with modern solutions. The fabric is durable, pleasant to the touch, and provides good protection against wind and lower temperatures. The jacket is comfortable to wear, fits well to the body, and does not restrict movement. Practical, discreetly placed pockets increase its functionality without negatively affecting the appearance. Overall, it gives the impression of being a well-crafted and robust high-quality product. It's an ideal choice for people looking for a stylish appearance and durability.

    First of all, the package arrived extremely quickly, the sizing matches the description – I chose size L for 180 cm height and 95 kg weight, and the jacket fits perfectly. The quality of workmanship is excellent, and the price was a bargain. I am fully satisfied with the purchase, I give it a 10/10 rating and recommend both the product and the seller.

    Great jacket, I've had it for a long time and I can evaluate it. After numerous washes, the color has not changed, the material still looks like new—no pilling at all, and the pockets are fantastic both in terms of quantity and arrangement.

    I was looking for a reliable M65 to wear in place of my thicker winter version. Took notice of measurements from previous reviews and was very, very pleased with the result. A fantastic fitting M65 in a material that is incredibly durable, almost identical to other Tex products. It is exactly what I wanted. Delivery was 6 days to the door and excellent tracking updates across Europe from Poland. It’s perfect for what I am looking for. Will be ordering again. Thank you.

    Overall, everything is fine, but I wasn't able to get the right size. The smaller jacket is too tight, while the bigger one has sleeves that are much too long, completely covering the hands, which makes it impractical to wear. Besides that—which depends on individual preferences—the jacket looks interesting and is well made.

    Great jacket for both outdoor trips and city walks. It has many functional and spacious pockets. I appreciate that it doesn't rustle while walking in the forest, and its colors are subdued. The downside is the weight of the jacket, but that's the trade-off. The fabric seems durable, but time will tell after longer use. The hood is not insulated. This jacket is not suitable for severe cold, but it works great during activity.

    The jacket is very well made and the pockets are practically placed. The quick-release zipper mechanism works flawlessly. The size matches what is stated in the size chart on the website. Every military fan should consider adding it to their collection. In my opinion, this modern version of the Helikon jacket is better for practicality than the classic M65, and its appearance makes it easy to wear for everyday use. The covert version, unlike the M65, has no insulation – for some this is an advantage, for others a disadvantage, so when temperatures are around +5°C, it’s worth wearing a warm fleece (like Helikon Patriot or Alpha Tactical) and thermal underwear.

    This jacket may not be suitable for extreme conditions, but for everyday use in the city or at work, it's excellent. The pockets are very well 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 formal attire, it doesn’t stand out from the crowd — it looks like a regular, stylish military-style jacket, but it provides much higher comfort and convenience for carrying various items. The large capacity of the pockets is one thing, but being able to move comfortably even when they’re fully filled is fantastic. It also doesn’t attract attention when you have extra things with you. As I mentioned, this is not a jacket for mountain expeditions, but it wasn't designed for that. For everyday use, it protects very well against the wind — especially the collar is very useful — and it doesn't restrict movement, which is extremely important to me. Many other jackets, even branded ones, unfortunately don't meet this condition. A big advantage is also the double fastening — with both a zipper and buttons, which allows better temperature control and provides a sense of security, because even if the zipper gets stuck or damaged (which probably won't happen with this quality), there's still a second option. The price also seems adequate for the quality — fully justified. I definitely recommend it!

    The jacket is well-made and looks durable, well-designed in terms of functionality. Unfortunately, as is common now, the sizing is not very logical. Every size is too short and too wide (especially in the waist). The proportions on this and many jackets on the site are made for short and stocky people. I'm 190 cm tall and weigh 78 kg, and none of the jackets fit in length, while size L is nearly double my width. Unfortunately, I had to return it.

    Fantastic jacket. Size M was perfect for a height of 181 cm and weight of 83 kg. Shipping is always fast from this store, and returns are handled effortlessly. It's a pity that there isn't just one black version instead of two shades. The cut is timeless. I also have the M-65 from "Brandit" in dark camo. There's something interesting for everyone here. I recommend this jacket for fall, spring, and mild winters.

    The jacket is very well made. The material feels solid. I think it will last for a long time. The large number of pockets makes it easy to organize everything, for example when traveling.

    Great jacket, more suitable for city use due to its cut, but it will also work for a trip to the woods. It has a lot of well-designed pockets and is made from amazing material.

    An exceptional everyday jacket. The pockets are very well designed. The fit is fantastic. The materials are very durable and the color does not fade. I definitely recommend it.

    As always, the service and shipping from militaria.pl are top-notch – I ordered the jacket yesterday, and it arrived 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 extra insulation. The workmanship is impeccable. After longer use, I will share my opinion about durability, but I expect, as with Helikon products, that everything will be fine.

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