Is that fleece or pile lined Burt? That label looks much nicer than the one on my fleece ATF tanker. My spec label is printed on the same cheap material as tear away t-shirt tags are made from.

This thread made me pull mine out and upgrade the zipper with a M-42 Talon pull and c shaped stops. I hadn't worn it much before due to the cheap knock-off Talon pull that always ended up getting stuck in a wonky position.

It’s one of the fleece lined tankers. For the price it’s a good deal. I have the same problem with the zip puller .

Here's the spec label on mine. It may be an older version.

New pull and stops...

Dug up a few comparison photos I took over a year ago when I briefly owned the earlier and more current versions of the fleece model. The color difference is pretty striking. Newer one on the left.

My newest one was purchased in late 2019 and was made in China. Just wonder how often ATF alternates factories.

The tag on my older one is long faded out (maybe washed out), so I can't compare.

FWIW -- 2019 on left, 2016 on the right. 2016 gets the wear, 2019 is waiting on the bench.

No sir it's not that pink. Poor indoor lighting. I've got an outdoor photo of it, I'll see if I can get it here

Hi all! I've had two fleece ATF tankers in the last eight years, so I have some thoughts.
The first fleece ATF tanker jacket I bought was back in 2017, and that was a Medium. They cut the pockets higher to match so-called third-pattern tankers, and it was just on the edge of uncomfortable to get hands into the pockets, regardless of whether the jacket was zipped or not. After wearing holes in the sleeves of (and outgrowing) my 2017 Medium, I bought one of their 2023 production jackets in Large. The pockets are cut lower and easier to access, and the fabric seems to have been treated with some water repellant like their M43 Field Jackets. Both jackets were made in Vietnam, and the fit remains boxy and comfortable. The bi-swing gussets on the backs are noticeable on both jackets. If seven years is the average shelf life for a jacket worn every day of the fall and winter, I'd call it a good jacket!
