ANTARCTICAMen's Outdoor Waterproof Soft Shell Hooded Military Tactical Jacket

I got this jacket in a 2XL as I was hoping it would be roomy enough to layer under if needed. The fit was spot on! Looks great, plenty of pockets too. I can’t speak to the durability of the jacket yet but it seems well made. Nothing coming apart yet. Plenty warm for those spring and fall days.

I gave 5 stars for water resistance and weatherproofness as I feel it will likely do well enough. I don't expect water proof, just to keep it at bay for a while. Have yet to actually put it through its paces.I gave my only waterproof jacket to my mom as she needed it when we were out once. She loved wearing it, so I said she could keep it. Thus, I now need a replacement as I have nothing else water resistant and will be going on a 2 wk trip to Norway in mid June. It is still cool above the arctic circle in June. I needed one garmet that could cover a decent range of weather. This was cheap, water resistant and had a good hood. I took a chance (having time to return and get something else if I didn't like it). Got it yesterday and gave it a good exam and wear around the house. It is exactly as advertised. I ordered a 2XL as I am in between XL and 2XL in most things and just erred on the side of safety. The 2XL fits PERFECTLY. It has enough room still for a fleece or hoodie underneath. For reference, I am 5'8" and 240lbs (stocky not round). The jacket's shell is very comfortable fabric that has some stretch, so it moves very nicely with you and seems reasonably durable. The thin fleece liner is nice and makes it much more comfortable to wear. The pockets and stitching all look well done and pass my initial exam. The dual zipper works very well. I have an ICON motorcycle jacket with a dual zipper that sucks. Was worried this would too, nope. The rest of the zippers all work very well. I kept saying to myself, this was only $32. I should buy more. The hood, when rolled up, isn't ideal, but fine. Just leaving it down is likely how I will roll. Also, the velcro on the hood is a bit misaligned. Not bad and still works fine, but I notice it. This jacket appears to be identical to the Free Soldier jacket (like many things on Amazon - same thing, different brand names and prices), just in this case, much cheaper. For the money, this is AMAZING.Note on the sizing chart: It appears that the Chest size is the actual circumference of the fabric, not your suit coat size. Thus, if I wanted it to wear it bare chested like skin, a small would be perfect (49 chest) You have to account for how many extra inches you want inside to account for shirts and potentially layers, for reference, the 2XL was ideal for me.

I would give this a 3.75 rating if partial star was available. I would still recommend.This weekend I took this to the Rocky Mountains for some testing. Two 3 to 4 mile hikes where the daily temp did not get above 30 degrees. The sun was out, but it was very windy. I was not able to test waterproofness as no snow or rain.I am athletic build, 6' 3" about 190. The XL fit very well. The first day I wore a full size hoodie sweatshirt underneath and I was too warm hiking and had to take the coat off. The wind was whipping and the temp was high twenties. I tried the pit zips and still was very warm on a very strenuous hike. So it holds heat well and is an absolute wind stopper.The second day I wore a light weight long john long sleeve shirt and wore the jacket the entire day. The hood was used a lot as well as the wind was worse and the temps were a little cooler. The coat worked perfectly for these conditions. I will update this review after I experience snow or rain.Now a couple of nits. The front pocket zippers are the exact size as the pocket, they need to be a little shorter so things do not immediately fall out if the zippers are open. There needs to be an inch or two below the zipper. The zippers must be closed while moving. The stitches all had the extra hanging thread which needed to be cleaned up. The zippers and pull strings are very light duty and I question their durability.That being said, for the price I would say this stacks up with some of my name brand ski gear. This will be used as my "I don't care if it gets dirty / trashed jacket" as the pice point makes this a real winner. Hope this helps.

I got my husband a camo color, n its beautiful, grrreat quality, very good looking, super nice fit, well insulated n still kinda light n comfortable, he loves that he can tighten or losen it at the wrists, its not long but not short at all at the bottom just right, great for wet AND cold weather, does it's job n then some. Very worth the price.

I'm 6ft 3" 2 80 lbs...VERY tight in underarms even with zipper undone...NO extra room to move. Especially in a shooting positions. With jacket on, zippers(in armpit) closed, felt like someone was jamming their fists in armpit...TIGHT!Liked product, material, style, options, but not for me

This item was to be 3XL. I wear 2XL, but item states to order one size bigger. This jacket feels like a XL, so tight everywhere.Based on what this seller considers a 3XL, I think I would need a 5XL to fit comfortably as desired. On the jacket is a tag that asks if not satisfied, contact them to try to make it right. What is missing is a way to contact them. When I click on the link to review the seller directly, it directs to a different product (who got their product correct). Maybe they will see this and reach out to me, I can't seem to find how to let them know they messed up this order.UPDATE: Nothing from the seller regarding this issue. Item is from China, they must view sizes drastically different over there. Oh well, I sent it back and will look elsewhere. Suggest you think strongly before ordering this item.

I just got my item and feel like I'm gonna like this jacket. It feels like quality material and looks like good wind and water resistance. The hood is a little firm so it doesn't sit down readily, but I can live with that. I bought the dark camo and it looks as was advertised. I bought and normally wear extra large and it gives me enough room to wear a sweatshirt or fleece underneath should I need it. I'm going to buy another one in black.
