We would like to recommend you one particular jacket as the best choice, but our opinions are divided. The good design did not have a suitable size (for us), and the suitable sizes of other jackets did not give a feeling of happiness from the purchase. We recommend that you decide what tasks you want to use the jacket for. If convenience and protection are important to you – pay attention to the 5.11 Tactical Men’s 5-in-1 Jacket, (number 7 of our rating). If you like a showy appearance – MA-1 Flight Bomber Jacket looks good (number 6 of our rating). Be warm and protected. Good luck 🙂
I am from the generation that tried to repeat all the tricks of Jackie Chan, hunted birds with homemade bows, and built my mini-base in the forest. At the age of 18, I was a scout in PLAST (scout organization) and participated in campaigns and quests. Somehow we decided to test ourselves, took our backpacks and walked 50 km (31 miles) in 1 day. We had a lot of fun!
Remembering my past, I ask in bewilderment: “How am I alive after all my adventures?” - harsh trials, reckless parties, love affairs, and a sea of silliness.
My hobbies are weapon upgrades, tactical gear, and the latest in wilderness survival technology. I have hundreds of different survival gadgets in my collections, which are sent to me for "test-driving" by Amazon, eBay, and other online retailers. That's what I write about, and I also make YouTube videos about them! Stay tuned!
