Alpha Industries Mens N-2B Short Waist Parka XL Black

This is exactly like the one that was issued to me in the Air Force 40 years ago other than that one was green and this jacket I ordered in navy blue were because I couldn’t pass up the deal. The quality of this short parka is top notch, and it is the warmest outerwear that I own. My son still wears my AF issue, so that speaks to the quality of Alpha Industries’s products. I was outside this morning in this parka for several hours windchill in the teens and was comfortably warm - no need to layer - just a wool scarf ever a long sleeve shirt. I read some reviews that said the jacket is made overseas however mine was made in the USA as you can see from the tag. Tough metal zipper, plus button flap closure. Like others have noted it runs a little small. I am 6’0” 225 and normally wear XL, but ordered XXL. Probably could’ve got by with an XL, but I’m saying order up one size. (I do not believe it’s a full-size difference probably a half-size.) If you’re looking for a serious piece of cold weather gear you can’t go wrong with this parka. Read more

Showed that it would be delivered on 23 December, arrived 12/20/21. I'm 6'3, 220 pounds. I ordered a 2XL because I like to wear a hoodie under most of my jackets and like a slightly loose fit. In Southern AZ we aren't rockin' super low overnight temps but we hit 35 degrees in the morning and this jacket all by itself is more than enough. The stitching is excellent, the jacket material is also excellent. The zippers are plastic but heavy duty enough. The pen pocket on the left sleeve has two pen caps already in place to prevent pens or mechanical pencils from poking through the jacket material. The front pockets for your hands are pass through to reach pockets on a flight suit but also have a pockets in front of the pass-through pockets to put keys or phone, etc. The wrist and waist cuff material is pretty nice as well with excellent elasticity. The hood is line with artificial fur and faux fur coyote brim. It's warm. The hood unzips and can be buttoned back to prevent the hood from sliding forward on the shoulders. I can't wait for the Sage Green ones to come back in stock in my size. Read more

Very high quality. I’m 5’7” male, around 200lbs and the XL fits me great. Slightly loose which I wanted so I can move easily in it while working blowing snow and also extra space for layers under it if needed. The only thing keeping me from giving 5 stars is the hood is a little oversized for me and doesn’t have adjustment straps. A simple inexpensive alteration or addition of snaps or adjustment straps to personalize the fit will make it a perfect cold weather jacket for work or play. Read more

Had one of these back in 1981 wore it out over the years, this one appears to be the same quality and an exact replica of the original. Shipped to Alaska fast and packed like pros Read more

I got this for my son for Christmas and he absolutely loves it. I was worried that since he is pretty tall he would need a bigger size, but it fit perfectly through the arms, shoulders and waist and looked great on. I also have no doubt that it will be warm enough for our bone chilling Midwest winters. If you're worried about the quality don't be. Every detail of this coat is first class. The snaps, zippers and buttons are sturdy and made for use and I'm sure it will last for years. This a a quality coat and worth every penny. In fact, I might just get one for myself! Read more
