I joined Army in 93, issued a few. When I was a reservist line medic, we had em. When I went active duty in 95, got to Bragg, was issued the gortex but as a line doc, we barely wore em.
My GI issued m65 lasted over 20 years. Never lost a button and the zipper worked fine. The actual material it was made of wore out and it started looking like a ghillie suit. Lol.
Can this jacket & liner still be found? The surplus stores in my area, Cleveland Ohio, shut down 20 years ago. I just got into camping and found out about info like this. I refuse to pay hundreds of dollars for a equipment just because it is 5 oz lighter. I want good equipment that will last, and of course at a reasonable price. Please help.
Absolutely! The price goes up every year but you can find them. If you're an odd size like Sm Reg or Lrg Tall you will find it easier. Do a quick ebay search after you fo some research on what you need.

Probably some elvish fabric at play here.
