The Rothco M-51 Fishtail Parka's polyester liner buttons in and out, so the parka can be worn as a shell layer in milder cold or with the liner attached for additional insulation in colder conditions. This makes it adaptable across a range of temperatures without needing a separate jacket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eWhat does the snap-up back flap do?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThe snap-up back flap is the defining feature of the M-51 fishtail design. When fastened, it extends coverage around the lower back and legs. When unsnapped, it opens to allow airflow through the back of the jacket. The wearer can adjust it on the go without removing the parka.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eIs this parka waterproof?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThe Rothco M-51 Fishtail Parka is not described as waterproof. The shell is 100% cotton, and the brass zipper is backed by a snap-up storm flap for wind and light-moisture resistance. For sustained rain or wet conditions, a dedicated waterproof outer layer would be more appropriate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eWhich sizes are available, and does the weight change by size?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eOlive Drab runs XXS through 3XL; Black runs XS through 3XL (no XXS or L in Black per current variants). Garment weight is 2.9 lb for sizes XS through XL, 3.25 lb at 2XL, and 3.6 lb at 3XL, reflecting the additional material in larger cuts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eWhat pockets does the M-51 Fishtail Parka include?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThe Rothco M-51 Fishtail Parka includes two front flap pockets sized for small essential gear.
