Features:

• Compatible With Cold Weather Jacket Liners – This jacket is compatible with cold weather field jacket liners. Liners button into the interior of the jacket.
• M65 Field Coat – The M65 Field Coat was designed as an update to the M1951 Field Jacket and featured many updates and design changes. The coats offer better warmth and water resistance than the prior issued coats and were more practical in the field. There is a zippered hide away hood in the collar, which was disliked by officers and senior NCOs at first due to its less military like appearance then previous coats. Sleeve cuffs were updated to have hook and loop adjustments and fold away extensions for extra protection. The front was zip up with a button snap storm flap and some additional hook and loop adjustments. On the front are four pouch style pockets with button snap flaps. The coats are compatible with quilted liners that button into the inside and stay secure. The buttons along the collar allow the user to attach an additional hood, a feature typically only found on issued coats and not aftermarket examples. The coats would originally be made in Olive Green and with the adoption of the Woodland Camo in 1981 updated to that color pattern. They would also be made in the 3 Color Desert Pattern for a short time while the pattern was prevalent. The last batch of coats would be made for a few years in the ACU pattern, but with the cold weather clothing system updated around that time they would cease issue. Material used for the outer of the coat was a 50/50 NYCO Twill, with the liner being 100% Cotton.
