Design
The MA-2 has several design changes compared to an MA-1;
- Large cargo pockets sewn onto the front of the jacket rather than the small slash pockets on the MA-1
- A fold-down collar rather than the elasticated collar of the MA-1
- Usually not orange lining, usually the same colour as the outer nylon
- A different design where the sleeves join the back to allow easier movement
- The cut is somewhat shorter - the jacket sits high on the waist compared to the MA-1.
- Genuine, military-issue CWU-45 and CWU-36 jackets (not the commercially available copies) are mostly made from the flame-resistant fabric Nomex, rather than the flammable fabrics used in earlier jackets.
