Men's N-2B Short Waist Parka (XL, Black)

This is the 3rd coat from this company. The family loves them. It will keep you warm in almost any weather. Very well made with great materials

This jacket is well made and looks great! The N-2B jacket is a serious cold weather jacket and is more heavily insulated than my MA-1 jacket. Alpha Industries is the way to go and also makes the official U.S. military issue jackets not like the cheap copy cat wannabe's. If you shop around like I did you can get one at a pretty decent price too. Trust me the quality you're paying for with Alpha Industries will far out way the money savings with the cheaper wannabe jackets. I also found the 1 up sizing advise to be accurate as I normally take a 2XL. I ordered this in 3XL and it fits perfectly.

A real winter coat for extreme cold weather especially in the Midwest of Ohio. I own few of these coats. But this waist size coat is more modern and hip and will before around and have been here for generations.

I'm 6'0" 175 lbs with a 44 chest and 34 waist. About 31-32" arm length. I ordered an X-large because concern that the waist and sleeves would be a bit short. As it is the waist is slightly loose. The sleeves are perfect length. The waist seems a tad short compared to most of what I wear, but this is the man's equivalent of a cropped jacket. It goes to the belt.Other reviewers have misunderstood the pockets. I have no problem with where they sit height wise. These pockets are between the insulated layer and the outer shell. You can pass your hands under the pocket through the external opening to put your hands inside the insulated layer. Apparently this was designed so Air-Force pilots could get at their pants pockets through the coat. For actually warming hands this is nice because your belly makes more heat than the pocket. Down side of this design is that strong winds might blow past pocket into coat. So far I have not had a chance to use it in sub freezing temps. but have found it warm and wind resistant. I got this one because I thought the N-3B might be overkill for PA. Not oppressively hot indoors in cool rooms for short duration. Quite light weight for its volume.The hood. Very deep compared to most coats. The fake fur is not all that soft but is warm. With the hood unzipped it is like a cape and adds warmth to the body. In windy conditions it is worth snapping the hood ends to the back underside of the collar so the hood flaps don't reach over your head. If you zip up a couple of extra inches the cape/unzipped hood functions like a scarf. If the hood is zipped into hood mode it is cumbersome in a car. I guess that's why it can unzip.Overall: Very pleased!

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.

I have owned Alpha Industry jackets at many times in my 50+ years. When I took delivery of my new jacket last year, I was surprised to hear our teen wanted one just like it. Well as it started to get cold this season, we gambled that an XS would fit her small frame, and it did. She loves it, the morning after it arrived it was 35 degrees and for the first time in recent memory she actually walked out the door to school with a jacket on. This morning it was 55 degrees and she still has the jacket on!

This jacket has it all. However, I'm 6'1" (not too tall) got a 3X and the length was too short. It rode above my belt and that wouldn't work for me as it would have been too drafty. As I looked at the other sizes I noticed the length didn't change between 2X, 3X, 4X, etc., only the chest and waist measurements. If it were 2-3 inches longer it would be the perfect and probably last jacket I ever bought.

I bought a medium which is way too small and makes me feel like a dainty Siberian woman or something (and I'm a man). So I'm sending it back for a refund. I ended up buying a "Company of Adventurers" bomber jacket with real coyote fur instead which fits brilliantly and looks great.

Un producto de buena calidad, me quedo como yo esperaba y estoy más que satisfecho, lo recomiendo mucho, espero comprar otro próximamente

This is the second jacket from Alpha Industries I've bought. The fit and feel is excellent on this one and does a good job keeping you warm. Looks very cool and stylish but is not over the top like many other name brand designer jackets can get with accessories and random designer bling dangling everywhere. Not sure how well it will perform during Canadian winter but overall I am very happy with it. Would definitely buy another jacket from Alpha Industries.

When I first saw this item I was skeptical as the price for a sage green XL N2b was listed brand new for £96 + pp. I checked and other sizes where listed for £130+ so I saw it as a deal. I then checked by Comparing to alpha industries website and was very similar but the only downside is there are not enough pictures of the coat and it's functions.However I ordered it and due to me living in the UK it had to be shipped all the way from california so the shipping days was 17 days. It arrived within 10 days which was amazing as way faster then expected.Now what really impressed me was when I open and tried the coat on it fit perfectly for a male of my size 6'3 190lbs/86kg and it has plenty of room as I was worried it might be too small due to other reviews saying not to upside but I would definitely recommend to upsize. The coat came with everything an alpha industries jacket has the red flight tag, metal zippers, zip down hood etc. All the works. This N2b is amazing and will be looking to get another in the future!

My second Alpha jacket and as expected the quality is superb. I would not call it a parka, just a warm bomber jacket with hood. So far I've been outside at -20C with only a shirt underneath and feels warm. The hood is big and cozy. Not sure about usefulness of those "pass through' front pockets" but that's a minor detail.I definitely recommend this jacket.

Excellent quick service . Good quality product
