| I searched here and google trying to find an answer to this and I have no idea if this is right forum. If it's been answered, I apologize. I am looking to buy a M65 Field Jacket, but I don't know if I should get Propper or True-Spec. I have a True-Spec already (in 3-color desert that I never wear because, you know, it's 3-color desert) and I like it. But Propper costs less. I suppose my questions goes to things like who has the better material/stitching and which zipper is better: metal or plastic? |

We recommend the nylon zipper since it jams and breaks less in cold weather. This is one major reason the official milspec changed and replaced the metal zipper with the nylon one. Keep in mind that neither of these is approved for military operations as they are not NIR-compliant. If this is just for personal use, I recommend ours since I work for Propper.
