ATP Flight School Men's Quilted Pilot Jacket: Weather-Resistant, Navy

Is the ATP quilted pilot jacket waterproof or just water-resistant?

This jacket is wind and water-resistant, not fully waterproof. The Softex polyester shell repels light rain, drizzle, and damp wind during pre-flight checks and ramp operations, but it is not built for heavy or prolonged downpours. For brief outdoor inspections and changing conditions on the flight line, the weather-resistant fabric gives reliable everyday protection.

What is the jacket made of and is it warm enough for cold mornings?

It is built from lightweight 100 percent Softex polyester in a quilted design that adds insulation while staying easy to wear. The quilting traps warmth without heavy bulk, which buyers describe as good for chilly, early-morning flights and cool ramp work. Treat it as a three-season layer rather than a heavy winter parka, and it layers easily over a polo or shirt.

Is this jacket warm enough for real winter compared to a heavy military flight jacket like a CWU-45P?

This is a lightweight three-season layer, not a heavy military parka. It is built to take the chill off cold mornings and cool ramp work, not to match the deep-winter insulation of a CWU-45P flight jacket. For hard winter conditions, add base and mid layers underneath, or choose a dedicated heavy winter coat for sustained cold-weather exposure.

Does this men's quilted flight jacket run true to size?

It comes in sizes Small through 2XL in navy, cut to layer comfortably over a uniform polo or shirt. Some buyers note the body length runs slightly long while the sleeves fit well, so if you prefer a trimmer look, allow room for a mid layer and size carefully. Check the size chart on the product page before ordering.

What can I do if this jacket arrives in the wrong size?

Because sizing runs from Small through 2XL and some buyers find the body slightly long, review the size chart on this page before ordering. If the fit is not right, contact our team about PilotMall return and exchange options so we can help you swap for another size. Keep the jacket unworn with tags attached to make any exchange smoother.

Is this an official ATP Flight School jacket?

Yes. It is official ATP Flight School apparel featuring an embroidered ATP Flight School logo, so it carries authentic branding rather than a generic patch. The navy color and professional rib-knit collar, cuffs, and bottom band give it a polished look that transitions from the flight line to the classroom, helping students and pilots present a consistent, professional identity.

What pockets and storage does the jacket have?

The jacket includes strategically placed side flap pockets with secure button closures plus a zippered sleeve pocket. These give you quick, secure access to flight essentials such as pens, a small flashlight, or navigation tools while keeping valuables from falling out. The smooth sleeves allow unrestricted reach across instrument panels during flight operations.

Is this a leather bomber jacket or a lightweight shell?

This is a lightweight quilted shell, not a leather bomber. It uses 100 percent Softex polyester rather than leather, so it is far lighter and easier to pack, with wind and water-resistant performance for ramp work and pre-flight checks. If you specifically want a heavyweight leather A-2 or bomber, this navy quilted jacket is a different, more casual flight-line layer.

How do I care for and wash this quilted polyester jacket?

Specific manufacturer care instructions are on the garment sewn-in label, so always follow those first. As a general rule for water-resistant quilted polyester, use a gentle cold wash, avoid bleach and harsh detergents, and skip high heat or hot ironing, since heat and chemicals can degrade the water-resistant finish. When unsure, contact our team before laundering.
