Looking into m65 esq jackets or really just something with a similar style i.e. large pockets, durable, and something that i can wear or convert to extreme weather and -20 to 110*f temperatures, any recommendations?

Although olive/ranger green is definitely an added bonus

Resolution: Military surplus or duluth/carhart workwear field jackets

Check Varusteleka, they ship internationally and their quality is excellent

I've had my actual FJ for over 2 decades. Try to hit up an old Army/Navy store.

Thanks for the recommendation and yeah looking to go to a nearby surplus shop in a few weeks, for some pouches for my backpack and hoping for a field jacket and some lining but, oddly enough for the outskirts of Bremerton there aint much stuff nearby lol

I have a surplus German ab bw parka and I love it. Warm, comfortable, sturdy, I like the style. And cheap!

I bought my ECWCS gen II parka off base in Florida in the early 1990s. It’s got goretex, a cobra hood, two way zippers that you can unzip from the bottom if you want to, underarm zippers for cooling, and will keep you warm in the snow.

I love mine very much. Big pockets too. You can get them on eBay. At one point amazon had them, IDK if they still do. Mine is woodland camo because it was actually part of a uniform, but at one point they were also available in black and also ODG.
