I am 180 cm tall and have a slight belly, size M fits perfectly. The jacket is a bit less warm than the Mil-Tec MA-1 Flyers Basic, but for temperatures slightly above zero, a T-shirt is enough. The pockets and zippers meet my expectations.
A lightweight pilot jacket in the characteristic flight jacket design. The outer material is durable nylon, while protection from the cold is provided by polyester insulation.
The jacket fastens with a solid zipper and is equipped with ribbing at the waist, wrists and collar. The main zipper has been additionally secured with an internal windproof placket.
The model has been equipped with five practical pockets:
- two internal ones closed with press studs,
- two external with flap closed with snaps,
- one on the left shoulder fastened with a zipper.
The shoulder pocket is additionally equipped with loops for four pens or other accessories.
The MA-1 can be worn on either side. The inner part was made in a reflective orange color scheme. This distinctive solution is related to the original purpose of MA-1 jackets for USAF pilots. In the event of a malfunction or shoot-down, they had a better chance of being rescued by search services. Nowadays, this ingenious solution can prove itself when moving along the side of an unlit road outside a built-up area.

Size M for a height of 179 cm and a fairly large belly is about 2 cm too short, the rest is fine. Size L would be too big, I definitely prefer the smaller one. The color is fine, the jacket was washed at 40 degrees. The zipper is ordinary, the drawstrings could be better, but for this price you can't expect too much. In the past, this type of jacket cost between 50 and 100 PLN at the bazaar and brings back memories from the 90s. I recommend it if someone used to wear such jackets back then.
