Tactical and Practical - Helikon Tex Covert M-65 Jacket

Helikon-Tex is a brand whose gear I have come to greatly enjoy. The M-65 jacket is no exception. Modeled after the classic Military M-65 jacket developed in the Vietnam War era, this modern version of the jacket is jam packed with features to provide a fully loaded tactical outerwear that is low key and stylish. With pockets throughout and a concealed carry waistband, this jacket makes the perfect option for late fall through early winter.

I was just watching Taxi Driver (w/ Robert DeNiro) and realized... that looks just like the military jacket he wore in that movie!

I've bought this jacket one week ago. Great design and materials. Good look.

How funny... I was just looking at M-65 jackets.
Helikon puts out some awesome gear.

I love the Helikon Gunfighter a very robust waterproof/windproof soft shell, I'd use it in winter under this M65. Great review.

I didn't know Donald Sutherland was advertising the movie Kelly's Heroes 2 !

Looks like they removed several features the M-65 had, that really make this version not work for me. The inability to add a insulation liner, a heavier hood, and the sleeve-to-glove liner flap not being there are disappointing. I like the more modern material, and the added pockets, but it's not enough for me to buy this product over a surplus or used M-65.

Got this jacket on release. Amazing jacket.

Love my M65. May not be original but it's warm and looks great.

Man, you can hide a decent bottle of wódka inside that big pocket. 😉

Great review. I got the taiga green/black version and I love the colours and how functional it is. Btw the shoulder thingies are called epaulettes :)

"A bit of a military style"? It's a military field jacket. It was designed for military use. They didn't become popular due to being stylish. They were popular because the surplus market was ubiquitous and cheap.It's a shame Helikon opted to replace the brass 3/4 length zippers with the full length plastic ones. The flap at the bottom could be left open for range of motion and buttoned if needed.

Do you have a hidden weapon in your inner pocket? Is that what your ykk zipper can be torn open?

The straps on the shoulders are called "epaulets ".
