FREE SOLDIERMen's Outdoor Waterproof Soft Shell Hooded Military Tactical Jacket

I needed a water repellant jacket with multiple pockets for travel. I recently wore this jacket on a trip to Scotland. The weather was cool and damp most days, and the jacket kept me warm and comfortable with just a regular shirt underneath. A quick rain event caught me on the streets and I kept dry with the hood in action. I am very pleased with this jacket and the fact I had sleeve pockets to carry protein bars and other items easily for long walks in the Scottish towns and trails (climbing Arthur's Seat/Edinburgh). It easily packed into my carry-on bag for the flight home. I would recommend this jacket for its price point and usability.

So, proof to this review. I just bought it last week and put it to the test this past Saturday. My stepson had a TYFA championship playoff game this past Saturday here in Texas. It was 56° and a steady heavy drizzle or light rain. I was part of the chain gang holding the down marker so I could it use an umbrella. This jacket held up to its descriptions. It eventually got soaked, but I literally stayed dry and warm. I ordered a large. I am 5'7" and at about 198lbs. A bit over weight, and it's a but loose on me. But it's definitely comfortable. I love the pit zips because as I started to sweat, I was able to unzip my pits just a bit for better ventilation and no more sweating and I was still warm. The hood is great in both ways. I love the extended bill, it kept the rain off my face and glasses. And when thrown back, it sits flat, not all puffed out like most jackets. No, here are my downsides. It has plenty of pockets, I wish it had at least one internal pocket. But my phone and smokes stayed dry in the rib pockets 100%. Second downside. Since my jacket is a bit too big for me, the bicep pockets are a bit difficult to zip back up. I have to hold the cuff with my fingers to keep it tight and pull the zipper up. But that's not a defect in the product, just an issue with the size I ordered, so keep that on mind. 3rd issue, there were no instructions on how to roll the hood up and stow away. I had to watch the video for the product a view times to see how they are folding it. But once folded, it's a nice tick fleece lined collar. All in all great product, there is a video on YouTube where a guy has owned his for years and loves it. I definitely recommend. I'm going to order another one, but without the hook and loop patches for my wife. She loves mine as well.

Ordered a 3xl and it wouldn't fit. Returned it and ordered a 4xl. I have a 54" chest, and usually wear 2xl shirts and jackets. The 4xl fit, and that's when I realized the label said 3xl. So I think the first jacket I received was an xl or a 2xl, not the 3xl that I ordered. Anyway, putting that aside, it's a great jacket. I use it on my motorcycle. It's wind proof for sure. plenty warm down to 45F. Haven't tested it in the rain yet. I love that the cuffs can be tightened so they don't scoop wind. All the pockets are handy. If this jacket support CE type motorcycle impact armor it would be an awesome motorcycle jacket! Unfortunately it doesn't, and that's not how its marketed either, that's just how I'm using it. The underarm vents make it fine up to 70F. I bought it slightly loose so that I can put a vest and a liner underneath if I need to, but it doesn't flap around in the wind even though it's not tight. It feels quality and strong. The zippers work easily with my gloves on. When I'm not using it, it can be folded/squished pretty tight and doesn't take up as much room in my saddlebag as an armored motorcycle jacket would. So I guess the lack of armor is a pro and a con if you look at it that way. Anyway, I like it and i think it looks good. Love that the hood rolls up and velcros in place so it doesn't flap around in the wind. I wish they had the 3xl in the black and gray, but I had to settle for solid gray. Took off 1 star for the mis-sized orders, but if I ignore that it's a 5 star product for sure!

This was a gift to my husband for Christmas. It’s a nice jacket and works well as a uniform coat for those cold duty days and nights. It feels fairly light, but he says it keeps him very warm. True to size, and overall a really good coat.

This is a great jacket. It is perfect in all weather. It has a hood, it's is warm and waterproof. You will love it.

Great Jacket - we purchased these for an Alaska cruise and were not disappointed at all. They are really durable, warm and fit great. We love the shoulder patch areas and purchased patches just to wear on the cruise. That made these jackets fun to wear and we received great comments about the jackets while we were on the cruise. Highly recommend these jackets.

Awesome jacket at an unbelievable price.Great quality and very thought out for utility. Very comparable to $300 jackets.Just shows you the other manufacturers are ripping us all off.Buy it if you need a comfortable well made rain jacket.

I take this jacket with me anytime it rains and when its chilli out. I'm a big guy and it fits like it should with room in the right places. Zipper is easy to use and never sticks. I love this dark sand color. It has taken a beating and holds well. The pockets have more room than you would think even with my big hands.
