Pine Survey does a review of the M1 Jacket made by the Slovenia-based gear maker, UF PRO... "With the M1 Field Jacket, Uf Pro introduced a product which is different from its usual line-up. Following a more casual look and going into the EDC world, this jacket leaves the military world behind, although it has direct roots in it. Let me explain:
Both the heritage of the M1 Field Jacket and the used material – EtaProof – have a distinct military history. The design took its inspiration of the American M41 jacket, which is a well known piece of WWII apparel. At the same time EtaProof is a highgrade 100% cotton fabric, which saw wide use in the British military under the name Ventile. I have already written about the excellent properties of this fabric in the Tilak Loke review. This is also the main reason why I was so excited to see Uf Pro adopt this fabric as well! With that being said, let us take a closer look at the basic specs before we go into more detail of the jacket."
