Rothco M-65 Field Jacket

The Rothco M-65 Field Jacket is a heavyweight military-style field coat built to government specifications, designed for adult men who need reliable cold-weather and wet-weather protection across all four seasons. The outer shell is water-repellent and rated for wind, rain, snow, and sleet. Available in eleven colors and patterns (including Olive Drab, Woodland Camo, Black, Coyote Brown, ACU Digital Camo, and more) in standard sizes from XS through 8XL and long sizes from M-Long through 2XL-Long.

Built for Real Weather

The Rothco M-65 Field Jacket's outer shell is constructed from a 55% cotton / 45% polyester blend treated for water repellency, keeping wind and precipitation out during extended outdoor use. A concealed drawstring hood stores inside the collar and deploys quickly when conditions change, so there is no need to carry a separate hood or hat. The brass zipper closure is backed by a button-snap storm flap, adding a second barrier against wind and driven rain at the front opening.

Warmth You Can Adjust

A removable quilted button-in liner made from 100% polyester adds insulating warmth for cold conditions and detaches entirely when temperatures rise. The liner is designed to be worn independently as a standalone jacket, giving two usable outerwear pieces from one purchase. An interior waist drawcord and drawstring bottom hem let the wearer seal in heat without relying solely on the liner, making the shell useful across a wider temperature range on its own.

Freedom of Movement and Storage

The bi-swing back panel allows a full range of arm and shoulder movement, which matters during fieldwork, hiking, or any task requiring reach and rotation. Adjustable wrist cuffs let the wearer close off the sleeve opening to match activity level and temperature. Four large-capacity cargo pockets (two on the chest and two at the waist) provide organized storage for tools, documents, and everyday carry items without requiring a separate pack.

Who This Is For and Isn't

The Rothco M-65 Field Jacket suits adult men who need a durable, all-season outer layer for fieldwork, camping, hiking, travel, or daily cold-weather wear. The extended size range (XS through 8XL, plus long cuts) makes it accessible to a wide range of builds. Buyers who want a single jacket that works across multiple seasons, using the liner for winter and the shell alone in milder conditions, will find the layering system practical.

This jacket provides no ballistic, stab, or slash protection of any kind and is not a substitute for body armor. It is not designed for women's cuts or youth sizing. Long sizes are available only in Black and Olive Drab up to 2XL-Long; buyers needing long sizing in other colors or above 2XL-Long should verify availability before ordering. ACU Digital Camo is available only through 3XL in standard sizing with no long option.

Common Questions

What is the M-65 Field Jacket made from?

The Rothco M-65 Field Jacket's outer shell is made from a 55% cotton / 45% polyester blend with a water-repellent finish. The removable quilted liner is 100% polyester. The outer shell's cotton-polyester mix balances breathability with durability, while the polyester liner adds insulation without significant added weight.

Does the liner have to be worn with the jacket, or can it be used separately?

The quilted liner in the Rothco M-65 Field Jacket buttons in and out independently. It can be worn on its own as a standalone jacket when the outer shell is not needed, giving two separate wearable pieces from one purchase. This makes the liner useful as a light insulating layer under other outerwear as well.

How does the hood work on the M-65 Field Jacket?

The Rothco M-65 Field Jacket includes a drawstring hood that stores concealed inside the collar when not in use. It deploys without any tools or separate attachment steps. The drawstring allows the hood to be cinched for a closer fit in wind or rain.

What sizes does the Rothco M-65 Field Jacket come in?

The Rothco M-65 Field Jacket is available in standard sizes from XS through 8XL, depending on color. Long-cut sizes (M-Long, L-Long, XL-Long, and 2XL-Long) are available in Black and Olive Drab. Size and color availability varies by variant; confirm the specific combination needed before ordering. A size chart is available from Rothco for the M-65 jacket line.

Is the Rothco M-65 Field Jacket waterproof or water-resistant?

The Rothco M-65 Field Jacket has a water-repellent outer shell rated for wind, rain, snow, and sleet. It is not described as fully waterproof, so prolonged heavy rain exposure may eventually penetrate the shell material.

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.

Price Match Guarantee — Terms

  • You must have purchased the item from our website before requesting the price match.
  • Discounted items and "free with purchase" items are not eligible.
  • The item must be in stock on the competitor's website at the time of your request.
  • The price match is valid for six months from the date of your purchase.
  • The competitor must be an authorized dealer of the product. Auction sites (eBay, Overstock), discounters, and gray-market resellers do not qualify.
  • The competitor must operate an online store. Brick-and-mortar-only retailers do not qualify.
  • Price match applies to the item price plus shipping. Sales tax is excluded.

To request a price match, email us a link to the product on our site and the same product on the competitor's site within six months of purchase. We'll process the refund.
