The molle and some of the other additional features that aren't as typical on other jackets could prove useful actually. There's things you could mount that don't even have to be excessively tacticool but actually practical and well thought out.
A buddy on Instagram just said the same. I could do a zombie apocalypse piece with this jacket and a bug out bag 🤣 they could knaw on your arm for days and you'd be fine.
The PALS seems so extra and unnecessary, but, at the same time, the overall aesthetic of this jacket is such a VIBE, PALS and all. I want this bad haha
Then simply don’t use it. I can think of three uses right from the start. Like an IFAK, a radio pouch, or magazine pouch. But if you can’t then simply leave them empty.
Could be a great place for hiking or sustainment or edc pouches of some kind. Could carry a utility knife pouch of some kind there. Like a phone pouch for your phone, and also a little snack pouch for food. Maybe even a tiny water bottle pouch even.@@SolarGeneral
There is always this intangible X-factor in all your reviews that makes them such a joy to watch! Besides being to-the-point, and so inviting for the watcher, makes them as if they are trying the products on themselves! Kudos
I think they do it in Bundeswehr Flecktarn too, I love that jacket. I am a huge Helikon fan but this looks a better product than their ECWCS jacket and this one if worn over a Helikon Pilgrim Smock would be a lugger of a set-up and you could almost abandon a backpack. Oh! and In German it's "Warum denn nicht? Selbstschutz"
You're right, I completely missed the Flecktarn when I checked the site. Thanks for the heads up MF Thanks for the German as well. I need to brush up on my German language skills. Hope you're well buddy
Thanks for making this video. Been wondering about this jacket as a more affordable look alike of the kitanica mark v jacket, but still made by a reputable company. The uh "inspiration" is pretty evident tho.
Been getting ads for Military 1st on Facebook for weeks, and I think this jacket being on sale has broken me. I gotta have one! Shame the ODG isn't available in large at the moment, suppose I may have you to thank for that! But, I wore a black M65 with a band logo stitched in for years. This design in black will play the role just as well, I even cut the band's branding out to make into patches.
Great review - quick and to the point. Can you please ask military1st when they are stocking MCDU pants and the Greyman shirts? They keep saying 4-6 weeks which sounds very waffly.
Ha ha ha... I'm super clear with that stuff... Plus if I ever say Molle by accident, I'll berate and correct myself 🤣 great to hear my attention to detail is appreciated buddy 🙏
Although this utilizes cordura fabric I cant say it doesn't just scream style jacket and not functional jacket. Just by the design of the front pockets as well as the one on the shoulder you can see they're not really meaning to have the size so that they can be used properly like on a classic smock. Materials seem great and the style factor is there but I don't think it'd see much use outside of city activities
I just ordered this jacket just for crawling into bushes and snow and for going into dirty environments etc, i have helikon jackets and other brands aswell but in the end they are too nice lookings and i dont want to get them 'dirty', use them mainly in everyday use, i live in the woods of finland and we are getting snow as we speak, i will put this jacket in some serious test and i hope this is good for it, time will tell.

I'm usually a large and this is a large. For me it's actually a tiny bit small. Not massively small, or at least, not small enough that I'd get the next size done. It's snug 👍
Yes, definitely. With the outer material being so tough you'll have the sewing holes left however they'll disappear over time. I've had several garments in the past that I've removed Velcro section from
I dont know this jacket into particular, but based on my decades experience with standard military issue M65 jackets, i can only say - go with the real deal, not brandit. It's fashion, made in china. And to be honest, i do own 2 black brandit M65 Size S, which fits like M. Not happy with these, compared to my Helikon-Tex M65 (new) or Alpha Industries M65 (old)...
It looks tank proof. Nice review.

If ever there was a zombie apocalypse jacket, that's it right there.

It does have a certain look to it
Thats the best part of the jacket you dork

Best review of this jacket so far.
Thank you. I appreciate the kind words 🤙
Thanks for including the end reels. It was refreshing to know that we all do that. Great review!
You're more than welcome. I've started putting them at the end of my content now and they seems to be welcomed 🤘

Thank you George. That's one of the nicest comments I've ever been given my friend. I hope you're having a great weekend 🤙

Can you do the brandit ranger vest
Leave it with me and I'll see what I can do

Glad it was helpful! I've just Googled that Kitanica jacket. You can definitely see where it took it's inspiration from
I’ve had one in black for a while, but barely worn it due to wanting to keep it “nice”. I’ll have to buy it in this colour as well now 😅
If anybody asks, tell them I made you. I got you Bro
Got one, outstanding jacket for the price.
Especially when the Kitanica MK5 goes for £798 uk price.

Leave it with me fella 😉 I'll ask. Hope you're doing well 🙏
Great jacket
It looks like a Kitanica MK 5 rip off for a fraction of the price. I bet they won't sell then in the US due to Patent/copyright.
Hi Dezem7, I think a few people have mentioned that. Yes, the resemblance is uncanny. I didn't realise this before filming
I’m in the US and was able to buy it and have it delivered with no problems. Great jacket!
Thumbs up cause he said PALS instead of MOLLE
Ha ha ha... I'm super clear with that stuff... Plus if I ever say Molle by accident, I'll berate and correct myself 🤣 great to hear my attention to detail is appreciated buddy 🙏
Great Jacket for small Money.

@@ThePaivarinne So how was the stress test?
@@ThePaivarinne I would also love to hear what you think about the jacket
I wear a size large jacket should I buy Large? My Brandit M65 was a medium and perfect fit but they run large. Anyone know for sure?
I'm usually a large and this is a large. For me it's actually a tiny bit small. Not massively small, or at least, not small enough that I'd get the next size done. It's snug 👍
Brandit stuff looks pretty cool but I bought some shorts recently and they started to fall apart after 2 wears. Poor quality manufacturing.
Coats.🤗 Not other stuff 🤣
can u remove the velcro patches with a seam ripper?
Yes, definitely. With the outer material being so tough you'll have the sewing holes left however they'll disappear over time. I've had several garments in the past that I've removed Velcro section from
thanks. keep up ur work @@MoorlanderEDC 🏄
Take 25! 😂
Hello, what is your chest circumference in inches?
I'm a 44" chest 👍

I have the Helikon-Tex M65 jacket too. This one from Brandit is nice however I wear the Helikon jacket more
velcro strips seem silly
They're an acquired taste for sure 🤙
This or Helikon Pilgrim in Your opinion?
Ooooooh, 2 very different jackets. I'd probably go Pilgrim
What, no “Shooooot!”?
