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.
The jacket features a lightweight and comfortable design with the classic "flyers" military aviation cut. Made with sturdy nylon as the outer fabric, it has polyester insulation to keep you warm.
Fastened with a robust zipper, the jacket includes drawstrings at the waist, wrists, and collar. The main zipper is further reinforced with an internal wind flap.
This jacket comes with five practical pockets:
- Two internal pockets with snap closures,
- two external pockets with flaps that secure with snaps,
- and one on the left shoulder, closed with a zipper.
The shoulder pocket additionally features loops designed to hold four pens or other items.
The MA-1 is reversible, allowing wear on either side. The interior boasts a striking orange color. This unique feature ties back to the initial function of MA-1 jackets for USAF pilots, aiding rescue efforts in the event of a crash. Today, this clever design can be beneficial, such as when traveling along an unlit road outside a developed 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.
