The Rothco CWU-45P Flight Jacket is a midweight cold-weather aviator jacket built on the CWU-45P military specification, designed for adults who need reliable warmth and water resistance in field or outdoor conditions. Its 100% nylon outer shell repels light rain and snow, while a quilted 100% polyester liner with poly fiberfill retains body heat. Available in Black and Sage Green, in sizes S through 3XL.
Built to Hold Heat
The CWU-45P Flight Jacket's quilted liner uses poly fiberfill insulation to trap warmth against the body, reducing heat loss during sustained cold-weather activity. Soft ribbed knit fabric at the cuffs and waistband seals the jacket's hem and sleeves, blocking drafts at the points where cold air most commonly enters. Together, these two layers make the jacket practical for extended outdoor wear rather than brief transits between heated spaces.
Water-Repellent Outer Shell
The 100% nylon outer shell carries a water-repellent finish that sheds light rain and snow, keeping the insulating liner dry so it continues to perform. The zippered front closure includes a storm flap for additional weather protection at the chest opening, and brass zippers with leather pull tabs make operation straightforward even with gloved hands.
Freedom of Movement
The CWU-45P Flight Jacket uses a comfort-fit, extra-full cut and a bi-swing back panel that allows the shoulders and arms to move without pulling the jacket out of position. This construction matters for wearers who need to reach, climb, or work with their arms raised for extended periods, since a standard cut jacket would ride up or restrict shoulder rotation under those conditions.

Who This Is For and Isn't
The Rothco CWU-45P Flight Jacket suits adults looking for a midweight cold-weather jacket styled after the military aviator specification, for field use, outdoor work, range days, or everyday cold-weather wear where a water-repellent shell and insulated liner are useful. The extra-full cut and bi-swing back make it a practical choice for wearers who need shoulder mobility while layered up.
This jacket is not rated for heavy rain or submersion; the water-repellent shell handles light precipitation only. It provides no ballistic, stab, or cut protection of any kind. Buyers needing a true waterproof shell or a heavier insulation class should look at a higher-rated outerwear option.
Common Questions
What is the CWU-45P, and is this jacket made to that specification?
CWU-45P is a U.S. military cold-weather uniform jacket specification originally developed for combat pilots. The Rothco CWU-45P Flight Jacket is styled and constructed after that design, with a nylon outer shell, poly fiberfill quilted liner, bi-swing back, and brass zippers, but no claim is made that this jacket meets or is certified to the military specification itself.
How warm is this jacket, and what temperatures is it suited for?
The Rothco CWU-45P Flight Jacket is rated as a midweight cold-weather jacket. No specific temperature range is stated. The poly fiberfill quilted liner and ribbed knit cuffs and waistband provide meaningful insulation for cold conditions, but buyers needing a heavyweight or extreme-cold-rated jacket should compare insulation ratings before purchasing.
Is the jacket waterproof, or only water-repellent?
The Rothco CWU-45P Flight Jacket's 100% nylon outer shell has a water-repellent finish rated for light rain and snow. It is described as water-repellent, not waterproof. It is not suited for heavy or sustained rain, and no waterproof membrane or seam-sealing is stated.
What pockets does the jacket include?
The Rothco CWU-45P Flight Jacket includes three pockets: two fully lined hand pockets with hook-and-loop closure flaps, and one zippered utility sleeve pocket on the left arm. The sleeve pocket includes exterior pen holders. No internal pockets are stated.
Does the jacket fit true to size, and is it cut for layering?
The Rothco CWU-45P Flight Jacket uses a comfort-fit, extra-full cut designed to accommodate layering underneath. The bi-swing back allows arm movement without the jacket pulling tight across the shoulders. Buyers who prefer a slim or fitted silhouette may find the extra-full cut runs large for their preference.
Can the hook-and-loop chest field be used for patches?
The Rothco CWU-45P Flight Jacket includes a hook-and-loop field on the left chest with a color-matched badge. The field is compatible with standard hook-backed patches, though patch dimensions and field size are not specified.

The Bulletproof Zone Promise
When you buy body armor, you're buying your safety. We don't take that lightly. Here's what every order from Bulletproof Zone includes.
1. Authorized dealer of every brand we carry
Every plate, vest, and carrier we ship comes from the manufacturer directly to our warehouse. We don't sell gray-market product, surplus, or returns. That means factory-fresh stock, the full manufacturer warranty, and real after-sale support — the kind only an authorized dealer can offer.
We maintain authorized-dealer relationships with America's leading body armor brands, including Spartan Armor Systems, AR500 Armor, RMA Defense, Shellback Tactical, Caliber Armor, DFNDR Armor, Protection Group Denmark, BulletSafe, BulletBlocker, and over 40 more.
2. Best price, guaranteed
If you find a lower price at another authorized dealer of the same product within six months of your purchase, we'll refund the difference.
Why the "authorized dealer" requirement? Because gray-market and surplus armor may not be genuine, may have a compromised supply chain, and almost never comes with a manufacturer warranty. We won't price-match against products that may not actually protect you.
3. Free fitment consultation
Body armor only protects you if it fits. Email us a photo and your measurements before you order, and one of our specialists will help you size your carrier and plates correctly — at no charge, no obligation.
4. Trusted by thousands of customers
Bulletproof Zone has been a trusted authorized dealer of America's leading body armor manufacturers for over five years. We have over 4,000 verified Trustpilot reviews from real customers across all 50 states.
