The classic M-51 design hasn't changed because it works - oversized hood, storm flap, and that distinctive fishtail back that blocks wind while giving you room to move. Two Jackets in One The quilted liner can be removed and worn as a separate jacket in milder weather. With the liner installed, this parka handles serious cold. The History Based on the M-51 field jacket issued during the Korean War when troops needed something warmer than the standard M-43. The fishtail design was created to wrap around the legs for added protection in harsh conditions.
