Customer Reviews Alpha Industries Alpha MA-1 Flight Jacket

This jacket was bought as a gift for my son. He was absolutely thrilled when he received it. The quality is top notch (as should be expected for the price). I love the look of the heavy gold zipper. The fabric is smooth and has a beautiful sheen. The fact that it is reversible is a plus. If in doubt of size, go up one size as this is a bomber jacket and fits tighter around the waist.

This jacket is tremendous. The material seems very well put together and not cheaply made. It’s very stylish and comfortable. I usually wear mediums in jackets and hoodies but had to go up a size. I am overall satisfied with this product.

I purchased this jacket at my flight school during my pilot training approximately 15 years ago. The current version is exactly the same and has been for generations. Although stylish this jacket is extremely practical since the fit and materials make it easy to move around being strapped into a seat and not having a lot of excess getting in the way. The ability to reverse the jacket to safety orange is useful during outside preflight and in situations where being highly visible is required. Owning this jacket and wearing it hundreds of times has shown little wear and it always comes out of the washer looking great. You really can't go wrong with this jacket.

Best deal on alphas you're going to find. No other flight jacket compares. if youre skinnier go with a slim fit, as the regular fit is on the puffy side.
