TACVASENMilitary Waterproof Men's Softshell Jacket Fleece Lining Camouflage Outdoor Coat

***EDIT***Used for 4 hours recently in constant light to medium downpour and kept me dry and warm, I was careful not to disturb the rain on the garment as it was forming droplets and didnt want to try bridging the surface, but it did occassionally and there was no noticeable ingress.Impressed....yet to see what a torrential downpour will result in.Bought an XXL but received an XL so was worried it might be too tight, as I am 48inch chest but quite broad shoulders and sleeve lengths are always shortish, but worries are over, its a good fit everywhere.Its very warm inside and thinly lined which should keep the moisture down some but its the build quality which I am happy with, seams and hems are all securely stitched and all pockets are zipped. Their lining is thin so dont be putting heavy objects in them, and the arm pockets are a little small for general use but I'm using it for orienteering so wont want extra weight anyway and the jacket is light which helps too.The hood design is clever, all round ability to adjust a tighter fit against the elements but haven't had a chance to test for weatherproofing yet, its quite spacious and allows me to wear a quite large woolly balaclava inside as well which is a plus.The length is good, it reaches well down past the small of the back and has a cord to tighten it up.Overall, I'm pleased, but would have preferred a couple of arm pockets less and a large, decent inside pocket instead, somewhere to keep my mobile phone and glasses away from the elements. The hand pockets are prone to bumping against things in normal movement, esp outside in a forest, but there is enough room to wear a bumbag underneath so its no prob, just a slight nuisance.

I ordered this product as a result of losing my old softshell jacket made by a familiar name. Most reviews advised that this product was windproof, waterproof and generally warm to wear.I can clarify that the products windproof feature is absolutely amazing. It's as good as my Ski coat. It stops any breeze from getting past the outer shell.I have only been caught in showers and light downpours but it has kept me perfectly dry.The inside has a thin fleece material which keeps me surprisingly warm. I think this is a combination of the fact that no wind will ever get past the outer shell of the coat and so the fleece just keeps you warm.I think the garment looks smart, it's well made and the hood is peaked which makes it very useful.If there's one thing I don't like about the coat is the pocket situation. There are lots of pockets, which is great, but the main pockets ride up the front of the coat, not at the sides which means that I often go to put my hands in my pockets, only to realise that there aren't any pockets to put my hands. There's also a pocket on the back of the coat which seems incredibly pointless. I can't really think of any reason behind why this pocket exists, but it does.Other than that though it's a great product. It's light, the UK size is perfect, it's weatherproof, it looks good, it's easy to compact it to fit in to a rucksack. Perfect for walks, hikes and colder temperatures.

This is a jacket which is full of surprises.Every time I put this on I seem to find a new pocket. There are:- Two big pockets on the main body on the front- A large pocket on the back which has two zips, one on each side. (It's kind of like the big pocket you get on some hoodies that goes all the way through, except with zips on each side and it's on the back).- One small pocket on EACH bicep which also have loop velcro (the soft bit) for attaching patches.- One small pocket on the left forearm (nothing on the right)- The bicep pockets and two main body pockets have a little rubber section with a small hole leading to the inside of the jacket, presumably to run headphones or a radio cable through.The pockets on the arms are a little bit on the small side. I have reasonably big hands and I can't actually get my hands inside them which isn't super. I'm not 100% sure why they are so small as it's certainly not a space issue as there is plenty of room on the pocket for the zip to have been bigger, more of a weird design choice I think.The cuffs both have a velcro adjustment so you can tighten them down.One little feature that isn't listed in the item description is that there is a zipper under each armpit which I'm assuming is designed to work as ventilation if it gets too hot.There are two elastic adjustments to tighten it around you waist which are quite nice if a little awkward to use because of the way they've been implemented. The one negative is that the elastic does seem to want to drop down and hang out of the bottom. You can just about tuck it away if you're bothered.The hood has an option to roll it up and velcro it in place so that it basically becomes a big thick collar. (That's what the weird square by the label at the back of the neck is for that you can see in the pictures).The hood itself is very nice. It has a little 'peak' which looks nice and stylish. The size is adjustable by elastic. It's a bit of a weird system to be honest and I'm not sure why it's been done this way. The elastic runs all the way around the hood, down the jacket and down into the two main pockets on the front. If you put your hand in, you can feel there's a little plastic stop attached to the end of the elastic cord ending in the pocket. The actual adjustment for the hood is up around the collar area on the outside of the jacket (visible in the pictures). It's a bit tricky to adjust to be honest, especially as you have to do it on both sides. Just a bit strange. I might be missing something but it doesn't seem particularly intuitive to use and is just unnecessarily fiddly. Also, (and the main reason that I've taken off a star) the elastic on one side of my hood has a knot tied in it which makes it even harder to adjust. I contemplated removing the elastic and undoing it, but I think because of the way it has been attached with the plastic stops etc, I would never be able to put it back together, so now I have to live with a weird knot. Probably a manufacturing error I'm guessing as it's just on one side.The jacket is very warm and has a fleecy material inside and seems very waterproof on the outside.Overall, I'm actually very happy with this. You can tell it's a high quality product and I think it will be long lasting. Weird knots and illogical hood adjustments aside, I'd happily buy this again. Perfect for what I wanted.

I bought this for my top secret tactical operations & nipping out to the bakery down the road. it is quite a snug fit but just right for out-door "wet work". The jacket is quite smart too which makes me look like a fat sexy ninja.

Veste légère et pratique, pas mal de poches sur cette veste et en plus imperméable

Perfecta

Adaptée à tout type de temps. Chaude pour l’hiver. Les écussons sont à la bonne place. Je recommande

Je porte ce blouson la plupart du temps pour me dëplacer en scooter, il est ample, léger, pratique avec ses poches. J'apprécie son aspect neutre et le rendu du noir mat et le fait qu'il ne soit pas trop court, je vous recommande donc cet achat.

Je viens d'utiliser cette veste militaire pour mes vacances sous la pluie. Autant vous dire tout de suite c'est la 1ere fois que je met 1 étoile sur Amazon.Au bout de 2 minutes sous une pluie battante, la pluie c'est engouffré dans mon dos pour au bout de 10 minutes être complètement trempé.Je suis plutôt indulgent mais la non il faut dire les choses.
