BLACKHAWK Men's Tactical Soft Shell Jacket

I don't write many reviews, but I have to say that if you have an opportunity to buy the Blackhawk! Tactical Soft Shell Jacket at the excellent price offered by this seller, you should definitely buy it! This jacket is of the highest quality and was very thoughtfully designed.The multi-layer fabric of this jacket provides waterproof and windproof protection, yet is very light-weight. The jacket has pockets on each side of the lower body, one chest pocket on the left side, one upper arm pocket, and one lower arm pocket on the same side as the upper arm pocket. The other arm has an area of Velcro on which you can place patches. All outside pockets have waterproof zippers except for the lower arm pocket - although the lower arm pocket zipper is hidden by a protective flap of fabric running the length of the zipper. On the inside, there are two zippered pockets on one side and one zippered pocket on the other side. There is also a large pocket on the back of the jacket, with a zippered opening on both sides of the pocket.The hood is roomy, yet cinches around the face of desired. The sleeve cuffs have Velcro adjustment tabs.I am 5'9" in height and weigh about 180 lbs. I like to have plenty of room in my outerwear to move around and wear a sweater. I ordered a Large in this jacket, which fits perfectly - it is neat in appearance, but there is still plenty of room from the waist to the shoulders, and in the arms, to allow freedom of movement and layering with a sweater or sweatshirt underneath the jacket. Many soft shell jackets are too tight to be really comfortable - this one is not.This will be the most valuable jacket in my closet - I'll wear it whenever the weather is bad but it is not cold enough for a heavy winter parka. I feel that I can absolutely depend on this jacket - and you will, too. Look for the best price to appear from this vendor and buy one.

I live in the wet great northwest and this is perfect. I am also into tactical, practical and stylish outerwear. It's perfect for making a statement of your interests with the perfect sized velcro patches for Star Wars or other patches you can put on the arms. Pockets galore in all the right spots. Two-way side-zips for armpit venting or sidearm applications. Seems to be waterproof in light rain, as that's as far as I've tested it. Thinking of using a waterproof spray just in case I stay outside for any extended period of time. I would love a black version of it, or a navy color option and especially a krypton typhon black pattern would be filthy! Anyway, I'm not a spokesman for the company, just buy it!

This jacket really is the best jacket I have ever worn during my travels. The quality is second to none, and the fit is perfect. I am 6 foot and weigh 210lbs. and the XL fit is perfect. The functionality of the waterproof zipper construction is great and it is worth the price. It keep out the water and also keeps you warm when it snows.

Was given this jacket for work. Constructed really nice and fits great. Have used it in the rain and cold. It is a shell so a fleece underneath is needed and does the trick. I have worn it without a layer and it protects nicely in not so cold weather. You will feel the chill without a layer underneath. It is a heavy shell and it will get warm (for me in 40-50 degree weather) even without a layer underneath. I keep it handy as it is now my go to jacket. Only issue I had was the chest pocket zipper. If zipped up under the rain protector, it will get stuck. I think the zipper teeth don't extend far enough on mine and it gets off track. So I have to zip it up only to the edge of that protector. Not a big deal for me as I don't use it much and I'm cognoscente of it. Other coworkers who have the jacket have had no issues with the zipper.

While not the cheapest this is a high quality and we'll thought out jacket. I have the blue one in xxl..love the pocket lay out and construction. Wore it in pretty steady downpour this past weekend and stayed warm and dry. My only suggested improvement would be that it should have ch3ct pockets on both sides but despite that personal preference the coat is fantastic. the zipper sides for venting or rapid access if you are carrying on the hip are great. excellant design and well executed..

Coat seems decent quality at first. However, main zipper failed within a year I do not recommend.

wear only with a warm sweater

Bought this to wear overseas in an austere environment. The waterproof zippers combined with the vented under-arms make this jacket good at everything and comfortable in all environments. The location and number of pockets make the jacket very versatile and concealed carry friendly, yet their design doesn’t scream “Tactical,” making it appropriate for wear anywhere (church, dining out). The only suggestion I have would be to make the hood roll into the collar for the times when a hood is not necessary.
