Condor mens Tactical

To anyone skeptical about purchasing this jacket: Don't be. It's amazing. I was a little worried after reading some of the negative reviews about incorrect sizing, and to that effect I say: Use the manufacturer's size chart as seen in the pictures for this product. It's very accurate, and true to form. I measured all the pertinent information on myself with a tape measure- Note that when the diagram shows the B, C, and F for measurements, it's referring only to distance across- not circumference. Because I'm 5' 9" and 116lbs, medium jackets are always a bit big for me, whereas smalls are always a bit small for me. Like the Goldilocks' porridge of jackets, this small is *just right*. The small measures somewhere between a small and a medium, leaving enough room for a nice thick sweater underneath, but won't be lacking anything or baggy without one as far as conforming to a "dorito" shaped chest or athletic build. The only issue I have, and this is shared by many people, is the zipper. I understand what Condor was attempting to do with the dual zipper feature, I guess allowing for you to zip from the bottom up if you're bending over a lot (like for hunting animals or hunting mushrooms)- but it becomes a bit of a hassle to zip up the jacket. Don't let this dissuade you though. After wearing it in and a little practice you'll realize the bottom zipper sort of "clicks" or locks into place at the bottom on the right side, needing no additional struggling when zipping or unzipping. Just don't try to zip it without using both. Once the main zipper is connected, slide the bottom zipper to the bottom to lock it in and away you go! Last; the quality. I promise I'm not being paid to say this. The quality is excellent for what you're paying. Like one reviewer said, this quality is pretty close to one of arc'teryx' extremely overpriced $400-$500 jackets. Before this, my every day jacket was an Eddie Bauer softshell jacket that MSRPs around $85 (see here: https://www.amazon.com/Eddie-Bauer-Shaded-Crosshatch-Jacket/dp/B013XOO0UU?th=1&psc=1 ) Anyway this jacket seems much more water resistant, thick, durable, and cozy than it ever was. Don't be fooled into buying a brand! I chose this jacket for maneuverability around a small cockpit and no branding on the front. Let me tell you, it delivers. With more pockets than you'll know what do to with and with warmth and durability, you'll be very happy with this jacket as for a softshell, it's very well-made. Also fine to wear with dress shirts as it's classy!

I purchased the OD Green and it is very nice and the quality so far seems to be well thought out. Fit: The fit is a typical "I'm in shape and am active cut". Its meant to be used while doing things. I am 5' 8" and 210lbs with a stalky build and when I buy a suit I need to get a "sport cut" and or have them tailor the chest, back, and shoulders to make them wider to fit right. I wear 34x30 pants (if that helps at all) so I bought the XL and it fits me very well Comfort: This is a colder weather jacket. I had trouble not sweating my butt off in less then 50 degrees, but I am a bit more used to cold weather. One thing I noticed from my prior jackets similar to this, is the arms. They are made probably twice as thick as others which is great if you are not moving too much, this jacket will defiantly keep you warm and comfy, but once you are on the move I heat up fast. I wouldn't say its a "con", just be aware if its fair weather you will get warm. The water repellency is on target with two hours or med/light rain before you get wet. Heavier, then expect less. Pockets: There is a pocket for the pockets. So yes, there are many and they are very usable The coat has Draw Strings at the waist so if you carry a weapon they can be adjusted to make getting to it fast, plus the front zipper is double ended so you can zip the bottom one up for more access to items on your belt. Zippers: The front main zipper can be a pain in the butt. They are YKK and well made, but getting them past the initial "zip up" has always been an issue. But I can live with it Velcro for patches is nice and everything else about the jacket is very nice. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a duty jacket or for cold weather sporting A review mentioned the "pit zips" were an issue, but all I have noticed is they can get cold when you first go out (and you are wearing a short sleeve shirt) but no rubbing, scratching, or discomfort so far.

Es increíble como protege del frío y clima adverso, definitivamente la recomiendo.

Awesome jacket!

Love this jacket, I live in Canada and as you know it gets quiet cold here, totally a great buy.

After searching through Amazon for the ideal jacket I stumbled across the Condor. I was searching for a specific type with two inside pockets. My initial order had a minor zipper problem, which I ended up returning after a couple few weeks but I loved the jacket. I went with ordering my usual size but it ended up being a snug fit, comfy but snug. So upon returning it due to the zipper problem I did reorder another one but one size larger, XL, so at just under 6ft, a bit over 200lb, about a 42” chest it fits wonderful. Not restrictive in any way and lots of pockets. Highly recommend. Thank you Amazon or the 3rd party for shipping so quickly.

Good quality, warm and great price!
