Alpha Industries N-3B Slim Fit Parka - Cold Weather Military Issue Parka

Thank you for taking the time to read. I apologize for my poor English. There is no doubt that I would like a response from Alpha Industries after reading this review because I really like this jacket, but I am very disappointed with There's nothing bad to say about this jacket. It's warm, soft, and a really good fit. Taking a look. I must add. It's hard to believe some parts are so poor quality A short time after it was installed, the zipper broke. As I had to unpick the seams on the entire jacket to replace the zipper, this was a bit troublesome. (The new zipper can be seen in the photo. There is a broken zipper at the place where my finger points). Additionally, the seams on the sleeves were broken. It's hard for me to figure out how to fix it now. I will have to admit that I use the jacket in the normal manner and I take good A bad use of those products is not the cause of those problems. The jackets look great and I hope Alpha Industries will fix those problems to allow us to enjoy them for years to come.

Exactly what I was looking for. I am 5'9", 180 lbs, athletic build, and in between a medium and large size, so fitting is always a pain. There does seem to be a high level of quality. I can attest that the stitching, the zipper, and the buttons are 100% real. This jacket has excellent stitching, and that is one of its main qualities. The jacket is designed this way so that you can move easily throughout the full range of motion without causing the rest of it to shift around. It is good to be warm. As long as you wear a t-shirt and a light sweater underneath it works well when it is in the mid-20s. This jacket isn't going to keep you warm, but I think you can stay warm and move around when wearing it since it's breathable enough for you to move around. This means that it's great for walking, working, and hiking A zero degree day is probably not the best time to stand around. However, I have not tested it in snow or on a wet surface yet. Once I have done so, I will update. This jacket has a little annoying pocket because the hand pockets are set high because it is a military style jacket and if this were a military jacket, I would be holding my hands at chest level near the rifle handle where my hand should be. I believe this is the original manufacturer of US military jackets as their spec line is 3 times the cost). I have never owned a jacket so snug and comfortable. It offers great warmth and looks great to boot.

The only thing I rate 5 starts on is a horse that is still in It took me three days to receive this parka. Currently, we are in a polar vortex bombcyclone, cold front, whatever you call it, that is affecting the entire eastern seaboard of the USA. This is the 1st week in Prior to buying the parka, I had never owned a snorkel coat or parka. It was something I did with my siblings in the 1970s. So anyhow I was looking at brands like Patagonia, Arcteryx, Mammut, Kuhl, Canada Goose, Fjallraven, etc. , as well as all the high-tech As soon as I saw that these jackets range from $500 to $1,000, I wanted to purchase one The temperature is 1100 degrees Fahrenheit, so that is $1100 USD. The height and weight of my body are 5'10" and 155 lbs. I wear a 40r suit jacket and 35" sleeves on my shirt. N3-Regular is what I ordered This is the B and There were too many shoulder gaps in the regular, so it did not fit well. I really like how this Slim Fit fits me. As well as the down sweater jacket, it is possible to wear a Patagonia jacket underneath. In the current temperature of 10 degrees F, I wear a t-shirt and fleece over my clothes, and I'm Having to wear a fur hood is not my normal practice so it gets in the way at times. If you want to remove it, the coat is warmer and looks better when you wear it. As the first reviewer of this coat from this supplier, I have first-hand experience with it. I received the jacket on time and according to my expectations. The quality of black mediums was a bit harder to find. If you choose a different color, you'll save a couple of bucks. Nevertheless, I found the coat on Amazon for a few dollars less than I ordered it for, but I cannot return the coat for a few dollars. I would do this again if I had the chance.

As a starting point, let me say that this coat is awesome! A medium fit me well since I am about 6' 175 lbs, with longer arms than average. It fits like a glove, is incredibly comfortable, has a hood (adjustable) that is very nice, is made from very high-quality material, and There have been reviews which say it isn't at all warm ( some even said it is downright cold). Because I live in Montana, this worried me, but I received mine just before we hit a cold spell, and I felt as As an added bonus (that may or may not be noted somewhere in the description), the inside of the device is neon orange and can be used as a signaling device in an emergency. There is only one complaint I have with the boots, I thought they were the kind that open from both top and side, but they only open a major issue, nor even a minor concern that can cause a star to be deducted, just a little thing that bothers Also, when I received the coat, there was a bunch of thread in the zipper path (I'm not sure why that happened) but everything was alright after I brought the zipper down and pulled it out (not attached to anything on the coat, just excess) and the coat fit perfectly. The rest of the coat showed no real signs of broken or missing stitches so I figured there might have been excess thread that got built up in the manufacturing process.
