I bought this to replace my jacket I got while in the military.

I had many patches on it and wanted to move them to another jacket.  This jacket had a good price and good reviews.  I also looked at the hood-less Rothco Ultra Force MA-1 Flight Jacket - Black also on Amazon.  I ended up getting this one for myself and the other for my son.  Both were of comparable materials and the stitching and zipper are pretty heavy.

The jacket will not stop a snow storm, as it is pretty light weight.  It is a medium weight jacket that you could wear from about 50 to 32 degrees, without layering or being uncomfortable.  But it meets my needs.  The fabric is tight and does not look to rip.
