Viking Journeyman Waterproof Industrial Jacket

This coat is just what I was looking for. I have had the PVC coated raincoats and ponchos. They are just plain cheap and uncomfortable.I have had this for a month or so and have worn it three times. I will return to update this review after a few more outings.PROS:I like the denier fabric, it is comfortable and breathes very well.The pockets are roomy and close to keep rain out and your stuff in.There is a fleece pad on the inside of the collar so your chin does not get chaffed (a very nice touch).The zippers are large and easy to operate even with gloves.The Velcro closures on wrist close the sleeves very well and hold nicely.The hood is large enough to cover your head but not so big as to block your sight.The jacket looks good and fits well.CONS:The snaps that attache the hood to the collar are not very strong. I find that I must re-snap some if I hang the coat by the hood( like when you need to let it dry).The sleeve liners should be attached to the sleeve at the shoulder and/or armpit. Ever so often I find the liner hanging out of cuff when I put the coat on.Half -n-Half:***The outer fabric does get wet but the wetness does not come through and the coat does dry fast. ***Overall, the pros out weigh the cons by a wide margin. This seems to be a well made garment. It looks good and fits well. I expect this jacket to last for a very long time and I am seriously considering purchasing the bibs that go with these.UPDATE:!!!!!!!!!! NOT REALLY WATERPROOF JACKET !!!!!!!I finally got to use this jacket in the rain for real. I am rather disappointed, this coat is NOT WATERPROOF. Perhaps only the yellow one is waterproof. The green one is not. The rain soaks through the sleeves and back material within twenty minutes. So, needless to say, I will not be purchasing the bibs and will most likely begin looking for a truly waterproof rain coat.

Tough outer material. Good design for preventing water intrusion. Three stars because: 1) I've only worn it a dozen times and the liner is separating from the cuff in one of the sleeves. 2) Liners in sleeves are cut too long/generously and will extend past the cuff sometimes. 3) If the hood is stowed in the collar, the collar is too bulky to zip all the way up. Basically a really good coat except for some minor design flaws. I'm 5'8" 155 lbs, and ordered a medium. The medium leaves LOTS of room for movement and extra clothing. I've had a t-shirt and two fleece tops on under it with no restriction in movement. If the cuffs are not velcroed down the sleeves are large enough to put your hands through with gloves/mittens already on.

My wife always took mine and just rolled up the sleeves.Have had mine for at least 5 years used on a farm!Excellent quality.We have over 100" of rain a year here!

Fits big. I’m 5’10” with broad shoulders and I could have got the medium I think I used there measurements on there website to check the fit but still did not fit correct. Great quality jacket with a nice mesh mesh liner with backing can’t even tell it is mesh. I have told my friends if they need a jacket they are just as rough on there’s.

A little heavier than I thought. The velcro closures are a little annoying because they grab onto everything. The velcro snagged a shirt badly. It's best for work use. It is waterproofed well.

I got the large for my husband who usually is between a medium and large. This jacket is pretty huge. He says that he can't tell if it's waterproof because makes him sweat so much that he might as well just work in the rain.

I normally wear a XXL but this is XL was big enough to fit layers underneath comfortably. I wore it for a snow removal job and was soaked after a couple hours out in the snow. Snow melted and was absorbed into the fabric. Its a tough, well made product, the fabric is thick and should hold up well over time.

Great waterproof jacket! Got rained on for two days straight during a fishing trip. Inside was totally dry the whole time. Great interior linings, fits well, GREAT build quality. Definitely recommend.

Practical design with good water resistance andnice feeling heavy guage material.Some very minor stitching issues or loose threadsthat weren't trimmed when it was finished manufacture,especially around the hood, but that wasn't a big dealjust trimmed with small scissors.Its very roomy, you could probably go a sizedown what you expect for a regular jacket,I normally wear a large for spring/winter coatsbut this is quite roomy even at medium and hasenough space to easily wear a thick sweater underit without being constrained.

I am a building contractor in Vancouver, Canada......the rain capital of the world.We have been taught that only thick, heavy, hot, rubber gain gear is completely waterproof.Not any more.I was amazed that this rain gear (jacket and pants ) was totally water proof.And even better.... it breathes and is comfortable to work in.Best rain gear I have ever had.

Decent rain jacket for the price. In extreme weather the seams do leak a touch, but this is extreme weather. I plan on weather sealing the seams. Doesn't breathe well, but does keep some warmth in too. Overall a good jacket.

Fits nice lots of pockets that are covered so rain doesn't get into them.

struggled with what size to buy and settled on the Lg, fit perfectly ExLg would have been too big.very pleased so far.
