At 180 cm with a belly, size M fits perfectly. Compared to the Mil-Tec MA-1 Flyers Basic, it is a bit less warm; with temperatures just above zero in the city, a T-shirt underneath is enough. The pockets and zippers are fine.
A jacket that is both lightweight and comfortable, featuring the classic military aviation "flejers" design. Crafted from robust nylon on the exterior, its warmth is ensured by a polyester insulation layer.
Secured with a sturdy zipper fastener, the jacket includes adjustable drawstrings at the collar, waist, and cuffs. The primary zipper is further protected by an internal wind flap for added defense against the elements.
Outfitted with five functional pockets for added practicality:
- two internal pockets with snap closures,
- two external pockets featuring snap-closed flaps,
- one zippered pocket located on the left shoulder.
The shoulder pocket also comes with loops designed to securely store four pens or small accessories.
The MA-1 is fully reversible, allowing wear on either side. Its interior is finished in a vivid orange shade, a nod to the original intent for USAF pilots. In emergency situations, such as a crash or forced landing, the bright lining increased their chances of being spotted by rescue teams. Today, this smart feature is ideal for visibility, such as when walking on an unlit roadside in rural areas.

Size M for 179 cm with a prominent belly is about 2 cm too short, the rest is okay. L would definitely be too big, I definitely prefer the smaller size. The color is fine, it was washed at 40 degrees. The zipper is just a regular zipper. The ribbings leave much to be desired, but let's not expect too much for this price. Flay used to cost from 50 to 100 at market stalls, this jacket reminds me of the 90s. I recommend buying it if you wore these jackets in the 90s.
