Still prefer my M-65's to the Goretex unless it's raining hard. All three of mine(green,woodland,desert) still fit.
I never wore the M65, when I arrived at my first unit, we were issued GTX and frankly it performed a lot better in the environment I was in, and by the time I made my first PCS...the war was on and no one wore the 65s anymore. I still have the original jacket I was issued in basic, somewhere.
+1 on the 3-button wool sweater, too bad the Army wore it out with the end of the BDU.
