proofing an M65 jacket - BushcraftUK Community
2005年12月30日 · I have an M65 jacket that I proofed with a wash-in proofer - it wasn't Nikwax, but was whatever I could find at the time. It's OK, the water beads up, but it's not totally waterproof. I usually wear a poncho over the top if it's tipping down. Depends what sort of activity you'd be doing I suppose.
Austrian army 'M65' jacket review | BushcraftUK Community
2014年3月10日 · I got an Austrian Army M65 jacket as a Christmas present from my wife. It's in as-new condition, bought from Surplus and Outdoors for £40.

M65 jacket advice. | Page 2 | BushcraftUK Community
2016年11月3日 · As you state the M65 and current day Brit field (combat) jackets have/had two different purposes. The Brit jackets tend to be a lighter-weight (material) over-garment and pocket carrier as opposed to a well-fitting field jacket. (The Brit is meant to fit over body armour! whereas '60's/70's body armour (the flak jacket) went over the M65).
Anyone Tried Waxing a Combat Jacket? - BushcraftUK Community
2018年10月26日 · Please please don't try waxing an M65, for a couple of reasons. Firstly, an original M65 is potentially pretty rare and expensive - they are very much collector's items and go for big bucks (I still regret not buying an original with badges in a N.Y. thrift shop back in 1990 - there were loads and pretty cheap as well).

2016年11月3日 · Hi guys. I used to had a genuine M65 and loved it. So looking for another one in green. Ideally new and as close to the genuine as possible.

Genuine Alpha M65 Field Coat or a Replica - BushcraftUK …
2010年12月3日 · Although it might have been useful last week in the cold, I've just modified my replica M65. I took a pseudo-fleece & pile jacket that has seen better days and cut out the body part of the inner to make a sort of waistcoat. I then removed the M65 inner and placed the pile inner into the M65, with the M65 liner inside the pile 'waistcoat'.
