ReFire Gear Men's Soft Shell Military Tactical Jacket Outdoor Camouflage Hunting Fleece Hooded Coat

Great jacket with lots of pockets very comfortable and I get alot of compliments on it.This is a copy of the real version, the real version is alot nicer but is also 150- 175 instead on 50 like this one. This brand also comes with a few colors that are cooler that the real version.In short its a great jacket and I'm going get another, its a steel at this price

Love this jacket I get alot of compliments and it’s very warm for the winter.

Size? I normally wear a Large, ordered an XL which is their XXXL, as tagged. Compared it to a Woolrich Mountain Parka in L, and an Austrian issue Mountain Jacket (metric) sold as a Large. The Refire was slightly longer in the sleeve length, the drop tail on the Refire a bit longer by an inch. All three have raglan sweatshirt sleeve construction which eliminates a leak point at the shoulder. Overall the fit is close enough for the industry given their suggestions on interpreting sizing, and in an active field garment you do not want tight - you need to layer and have freedom of movement. It's acceptable, given my experience with other military issue garmets, their cost and typically short field life.Camo pattern: This is meant to resemble Multicam without tripping legal sanctions. One, the search terms might call it up, but the description etc avoids the term. I leave it to others to parse the nuances of Intellectual Property law, I can state it is NOT an exact copy when compared to a labeled Multicam M65 I purchased from the Cav Store before the pattern was even issued stateside, and also compared it to an issued surplus combat shirt and pants I bought surplus - for ten cents on the dollar of Clothing Sales. US DOD issue "multicam" isn't - it's the submitted pattern Crye offered long ago without an black in it. Licensed Multicam has some black elements, and overall in my experience either MC or GI, known as Scorpion or OCP- has a pale green tone to the background colors. The fabric printed and used by Refire is closer to Coyote - tans - and as noted by some could even appear slightly rosy. The black elements are much darker, too, and side by side the contrast is much higher with Refire. On the other hand, worn, older MC fades considerably. Mine are no longer new, the black is fading and contrast is much lower. Laundering clothing and wearing it in the abrasive outdoors tends to fuzz up short white cotton fibers which is why all recommend turning the garment inside out to launder, something I wish I had done to the older all cotton BDU's - after a few seasons they would turn grey green, and UCP went horribly blue very quickly. Refires high contrast may well last longer and resist degradation better - a soft shell isn't worn year round, either.Fabric noise - there is some in all fabrics. For hunting you should check garments before purchase, I remember the vinyl Blaze Vests were real zippy with their psuedo molded canvas texture. Most of the original hunting camo clothes were in fleece for that reason, but performance and being able to shed burrs had their issues.Water repellancy? I have NEVER found a guaranteed "waterproof" garment. Ever. Goretex fails, I have had other softshell garments which finally transmitted water inside, and the construction of the material with membrane also keeps perspiration inside which can and will build up to the point of exceeding the exterior. Soft shells are not rated for extreme use, "HARD" shells do that job. And even GI gear eventually fails due to wear and tear. That doesn't mean I won't wear it in wet weather, but if it's pouring down, a rain garment should go over it. Then you adjust for ventilating the perspiration out of it or - you get wet anyway. There are times when it's just not worth the bother of adding a wet weather shell over 65F if hypothermia isn't a risk.PS there are spray silicones, seam sealers, and other treatments to potentially improve performance,

Recomendada muy buena para repeler el agua

The description is very accurate. The jacket feels great on. Heavy enough to keep me warm and light enough to not be bulky. Zippers work well on all the pockets. Black camo pattern is perfect. As others have said, I was also concerned about how high the front pockets are and that they would feel awkward. They actually feel very comfortable. Was originally looking to get the well advertised Bearskin fleece lined rain jacket for $180, but tried this instead for $45. Incredible deal and I will be using it a lot here in the PNW.

Fairly good camping jacket and at an amazing price. The pockets are kinda funny and this is WAY TOO LOUD to hunt any animals with ears, I could her the fabric when I when I wore it to an outdoor concert

Kept my son warm and dry on our 12 day moose hunt trip. He is a large 10yo about 5 ft tall and it was a little big, which is perfect so he can get another season. I was honestly jealous since his jacket was much nicer in the cold rain than my shell. The inside felt was always warm and soft to the touch and was like his armor out there. I’m going to get a large version for my myself. If you’re going out for a fall elk hunt and need a new jacket, get this one. I did treat it twice with scotchgard before going out and it beaded water like a tarp. Could have been that way to begin with, but I never tested right away.

Very comfortable and very warm. Wore it on a 3 day hunting trip. Went through heavy brush and was unscathed. Also wore it through some light rain(drizzle) kept me warm and dry.
