1. Design and Features: The M43 Parka was designed as an improved version of the M41 Field Jacket, specifically to address the needs of soldiers operating in colder weather conditions. It was made from a heavy-duty cotton fabric and featured a longer length, reaching below the waist. The parka had a button-up front closure with a storm flap to provide better wind resistance.

2. Hood and Collar: One notable feature of the M43 Parka was the integrated hood, which offered additional protection from the elements. The hood could be adjusted using drawstrings to provide a snug fit. The parka also had a fold-down collar that could be turned up for added warmth and protection.

3. Pockets: The M43 Parka had several pockets for storage. It featured two large patch pockets on the front, similar to those found on the M41, as well as two smaller pockets on the upper chest. These pockets provided ample space for carrying essential items and gear.

4. Usage and Legacy: The M43 Parka was primarily issued to U.S. Army Mountain Troops soldiers operating in colder regions during World War II, such as in Europe during the winter months. It offered improved protection against cold weather conditions and became a preferred outerwear option for soldiers in such environments.

5. Influence and Continued Use: The M43 Parka had a significant influence on subsequent military and civilian designs. Its functional design, with the integrated hood and longer length, set the precedent for later parka designs used by various military forces and eventually became a popular civilian fashion item.
