Woodland Coveralls. Sizes Available are Medium and XL. $50 a pop.
I’m a big fan of the onesie because of bugs, twigs, and other junk.
It also insulates you better in my opinion, and weighs less because there isn’t a redundancy of cloth.
I still like M81, it was the pattern we wore for most of my military service, it works well and is plentiful.
In the Northeast there is no other camo to wear.
Sure, you could use Mossy Oak. Nothing wrong with it.
But for the price, you can purchase an entire set of TA-50 in M81.
And it has basically everything you need. Especially those deep inside pockets for keeping your water filter and canteens from freezing. Or drying out your socks/gloves/hat.
JP, coveralls are great if you can wear them. I can’t, something about my torso length or whatever but when I raise my arms above my head the coveralls mash my berries.
Order one size large.
It will break up your outline more efficiently as well.
Hawkeye, I sub to your YouTube channel because of your knowledge of camo patterns and material.
I used to wear a Woodland M-65 field jacket all winter, in fact I have worn out 2 of them.
I would like to get another but they are no longer available in XL on the surplus market.
Who makes a good M-65 in Woodland now? Any help is appreciated.

Should be the right size. Claims to come with a liner as well.
Propper is making them. I love my Tru-Spec one but they have been discontinued.
Thanks for the reply. Are they the same material as the old school M-65’s ?
