The L-2B flight jacket was introduced in the early 1950s for use in light temperature zones (50 to 86 degrees F). Initially the bomber was only used by the U.S. Air Force which is why the USAF insignia was put on the sleeve. The flight jacket went through many specification updates including the removal of the oxygen tab, snap tabs and epaulets, along with the USAF logo as the jacket was eventually adopted by the Navy and other branches of the armed forces.
The L-2B Natus is an Alpha classic, with a lightweight nylon shell and removable hood for everyday weather conditions. A variation of the original MA-1 flight jacket, the L-2B was first introduced to the US Air Force in the early 1950s as a non-filled alternative for use in light temperature zones.
This Jacket is recommended for light weather and offers a standard fit that sits above the hip.
Shell: 100% flight nylon, Lining: 100% Nylon, Fill: None. Machine wash cold, gentle cycle with like colors. Non-chlorine bleach when needed. Tumble dry low. Do not iron or dry clean.
