High product quality and good fit. I’m a big man, 185 cm tall and 155 kg. Size 3XL is sufficient both in the chest and waist. If the jacket were 5 cm longer, it would be perfect, but as it is, it's just ideal.
Mil-Tec MA-1 US Flight Jacket - Olive
Experience comfort with a reversible jacket in Olive, drawing inspiration from the legendary MA-1 Flyers pilot design. The exterior features robust polyester with a PU coating, offering excellent protection against wind and moisture. Highly resistant to abrasion and mechanical stress, the material ensures long-lasting durability. Warmth is provided by a synthetic polyester fiber filling, delivering reliable insulation in colder environments.
Reversible design
The MA-1 is designed for reversible wear. The inside showcases a vivid orange lining. This distinctive feature harks back to the jacket’s initial function for USAF pilots. In emergency situations such as a crash, displaying the orange side improved the likelihood of rescue. Today, this practical feature serves to boost visibility for nighttime roadside walking. Reversing the jacket allows it to function effectively as a high-visibility garment.
5 spacious pockets
Equipped with five functional pockets, the jacket ensures maximum utility:
- two inside compartments
- two outside pockets secured by snap buttons
- one zippered sleeve pocket on the left arm, featuring additional pen organizers
The exterior pockets provide ample space to keep your hands warm, while the sleeve compartment is ideal for stowing small gear.
Main closure, thermal flap
Equipped with a rugged plastic zipper and an eco-leather pull tab, the jacket allows for easier handling while wearing gloves. An internal thermal flap shields the zipper, delivering additional defense against cold weather.
Stand-up collar and elastic cuffs
Elastic stand-up collar and fitted cuffs at the sleeves and waist act as barriers against cold air intrusion, ensuring warmth is trapped effectively inside the jacket.

The jacket is excellent, I am 180 cm tall and weigh 74 kg. Size L is loose but not too big, fits perfectly. I am very satisfied, delivery to Ireland took a bit longer, but it was worth the wait. Thank you military.eu, I shop with you and will definitely continue to use your services. I rate it 5 stars!

After a week of wearing, I can say this is a nice quality "flek". Even in negative temperatures, it easily keeps you warm. I am 186 cm tall and weigh 86 kg, chest 110 cm. I considered both XL and L. I chose L. It seems a bit short, but that's the style of the "flek". If someone prefers it a bit longer, they should order XL. On me, it fits awesomely. I look like some kind of muscle guy 😉. Express shipping. Order placed on 1.03 before 3pm, delivered to the parcel locker on 2.03 around 11am - super fast. I recommend! Everything as described.

The jacket itself is of good quality. Unfortunately, the sizing guide on the store's website is very inaccurate. When ordering size L (140cm chest according to the manufacturer), I couldn't zip up the jacket even though my chest circumference is 133cm. If you order too small, you'll have to pay extra for returning it and buying again. So, that's not great.

I've been using this jacket for a long time, mainly on a daily basis, and it's been great. It's comfortable, lightweight, and provides pleasant warmth on cooler days. It has a simple, classic cut that goes well with both jeans and sportier outfits. The material is sturdy and doesn't look cheap even after frequent wear. The pockets are practical and easily accessible. The only downside might be somewhat weaker protection against strong wind, but as a city jacket, it performs very well.

For a long time I dreamed of a black bomber jacket and finally decided to make the purchase. At first, it seemed too spacious for me, but that's just a feature of this style. It is very comfortable both when walking and driving a car. During a snowstorm and at -8 degrees, I only wore a thin turtleneck underneath and I didn't get cold at all. It effectively protects against both rain and wind.

The jacket gives a very "aviator" impression: it has a simple, distinctive cut without unnecessary extras, but it looks expressive. The black color goes with almost everything; you can wear it with jeans or more tactical clothing. The material is pleasant to the touch and looks durable. The jacket holds its shape well and does not feel like a thin "windbreaker." It is very functional on cooler days – it provides effective wind protection, which is a pleasant surprise compared to the pictures, and the design is comfortable and does not restrict movement. The pockets are practical and easily accessible, and overall, it feels like a product that will serve well for several seasons.

Bought for my father as a gift, who is already quite old and has spent half of his life wearing the original 'flekas'. He was very satisfied, so I recommend it! The size matches the chart.

Very good and high-quality site. I used it even when I was in Ukraine. Fast delivery! The quality, as always, is excellent! The price is pleasant!!! I will continue to use it in the future!

The jacket is great – it provides warmth and looks good. It is slightly roomy, but even so, I am very satisfied with the purchase. I also like the option to wear it inside out. I chose the green model with an orange interior.

The bomber jacket is of terrible quality, the material is poor, the stitching is sloppy, and the seams don’t line up properly. It’s designed to be reversible, but for some reason, there are tags sewn on the inside that can’t be removed. The only good things about it are the style and the fact that it’s warm. I’m giving it 3 stars only because the store handled my order quickly.

Good value for money. I wore it all autumn and winter—although it was sometimes cold in winter, for this kind of bomber jacket, it really did the job and kept me warm even in the frost. Besides that, very good quality and pleasant material. At a height of 180 cm, size M fits perfectly.
-
Very solid jacket, looks great, is really warm. The bonus is its reversible use—if you want to be more visible, for example, when coming home in the evening out of town, just turn it inside out. Highly recommend!

I highly recommend the bomber jacket from the German company Mil-Tec—it works great, is very warm, comfortable, and made of good material. Plus, it's reversible. Highly recommended.

Great jacket for this price. I originally ordered an "olive" in size XL, but after placing the order the store notified me that this size was unavailable, and offered to swap it to black in the same size. Instead, I took a risk and ordered an "olive" XXL, and it was a bullseye. I am 175 cm, and surprisingly, XXL fits me very well. People under 180 cm tall with a bit of extra weight can confidently go for XXL, the jacket has good drawstrings and won't be too long. I also have to praise the store for quick and efficient order processing.
