ReFire Gear Men's Army Special Ops Military Tactical Jacket Softshell Fleece Hooded Outdoor Coat

UPDATE: had the jacket for about 2 months. This is a good jacket. Roomy, warm and functional. The only adjustment I am considering: the chest pocket zippers when zipped open, the traveler bottoms out at the bottom of the pocket. I worry that something might easily slip out. I plan to put a stitch in the zipper track an inch above the fully open/down position to create a bit of depth to the pocket. Happy with my purchase. /// Just received it. Packaged well. Seams look solid. Shell and lining look solid. Construction seems solid. Fit is good. Zipper is secure. Pockets appear solid. Waist and hood draw strings are functional and cuff gathers work as they should. Got mine in olive drab. Went by the sizing guide and got an XL. Fits properly. I will use this at outdoor all-weather tactical shooting events where weather is random. I am in the American north east. Saw some questions about why the double zipper travelers, and why the front pockets are so high and in front, and why is the hood oversized. This jacket is meant to be tactical. If you are wearing anything around your waist - like an equipment duty belt - hand pockets at waist level will make the waist of the jacket - over the duty belt - be way oversized. Also, the double zipper travelers help with accessing your duty belt from the bottom of the zipper rather than unzipping from the top and letting the weather in. Also, the hood is oversized to fit headgear like ear protection and a hat, etc. This jacket seems to fit my needs. I will update this review after wearing it at an event. So far, I am happy with the fit, function and price. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a garment to meet similar needs.

Bought this as a gift and he loved it! He said it was warm and comfortable. The zippers were very smooth and the pockets were deep. This was a win.

This jacket is really growing on me. I initially ordered an XL and was swimming in it. It was much too big. Replaced with a Large and that was a little too tight. European/Asian sizing is different than USA sizing. But there was no in between with the XL and the Large; the XL was way too big and the Large is a little small. Since losing some weight it fits better-still a little tight, though. Will continue to loosen up as I continue to diet.At first I decided all the pockets and zippers (9 total) were silly and just added to make the jacket look cool. They're actually pretty useful. The arm pockets hold my iPhone 11 perfectly, and the wrist pocket on the left side is the perfect size for cards and cash. I don't carry a wallet and don't like heavy things in my pants pockets pulling them down. You can stuff your hands in the two stomach pockets when they're cold. The armpit zippers let hot air out and cool air in. Sweating in cold weather can be dangerous. There is a rather large two-zippered pocket in the back at the bottom of the jacket. What a useful place for a "storage" pocket. And its huge. You could easily put some survival gear in there, like a knife and lighter and emergency blanket, etc. This jacket could act as somewhat of a backpack itself with all the stuff you could cram into it. Or you could just carry oversized everyday items in it.The back of the jacket comes down a little farther than the front, providing extra coverage for bending over and sitting. The hood has a little bill on it for extra rain coverage. I wear a baseball hat to keep it out of my eyes. There are barrel tighteners on each side to tighten it to your head. The hood can be rolled up and secured with the wide built-in Velcro strap, then the hood becomes a collar when it's not raining or snowing.There are two more barrel tighteners along the waist if you want to keep your core from losing heat.With all the zippers this could conceivably be a three-season jacket. Will have to test it in the summer when raining.Have worn this is steady rain and snow and is absolutely waterproof.The only negative thing about this jacket is it's loud. It crinkles and snaps as you walk around.An excellent $50 jacket that took me a while to appreciate. But I'm loving it now.

•Warmth:This jacket is perfect for “layering”. Meaning, if you’re in snow or really cold temps and want to just wear “just” the jacket you will be cold. But I’ve worn it on a boat in the 40 degree cold going 65+ mph (felt like 2 degrees) and no wind or rain gets in it. I fish with a hoodie and this jacket over and I am incredibly warm.•Water proof/wind proof:Wind proof was one of the biggest reasons I needed this jacket and it’s 100% both water and wind proof. I’ve been in downpour with no cover and my body stayed dry. Winds on a boat did not get in at all.•Hood:The hood has GREAT draw strings around the face area as well as the standard draw string location. This is HUGE when your going 60mph on the water in the cold so it hugs the sides of your face. The jacket zipper goes high enough to give you a mouth covering which I love to keep that freezing wind off your mouth and neck in high winds.•Waist/ Wrist:The waist/wrist have a NICE draw string (waist) and Velcro system (wrists) so wind doesn’t go in the jacket and keeps the warm in.•Thickness:It’s plenty thick, I would say the equivalent to the thickness of jeans then you add the fleece layer and it’s definitely a good jacket. I think when you read the reviews saying it’s thin is because people are expecting a snow jacket. But if you wear a sweater or hoodie with this over it, you will be warm I’d say in temps of 35-40ish depending on if you tighten all the draw strings to insulate. Now if you want to go below the 35 range I’d either get a different jacket or wear thermal layer and a cold weather hoodie with this over it.•Size:I’m 5’10 245lbs chubby and a 2xl fits perfect “if” you are layering with a hoodie or sweater. If you want a sleek fit or if you wear thermals not a bulky sweater I’d go with an XL. This will make the sleeves and body fit tighter to the body.So far I’m happy with this jacket. I will update in a couple of months of fishing with it on to let you know how it holds up. If the 5 star is still up that means I still have no issues.

Great coat- have bought three at this point one for my husband and for both of my sons great quality coat would definitely purchase

My true rating is 3 1/2 stars. There are things that I like but more that I don’t like. Let’s start with the zipper, I’m not sure why but for some reason there are 2 zippers on this coat. Both have to be engaged for the zipper to work properly. Once it is zipped it does form a water tight seal though. The fit is good I am 6ft 270lbs and xxl fit perfectly.The material itself feels ok although it seems like it was just thrown together without much thought or care for quality. There are strands of string hanging from everywhere. I wore it out for a walk in windy 27* temps. It did block the wind pretty well it failed with the cold. The hood is just awkward, unless you have a very large and oddly shaped head the hood doesn’t fit if it’s just pulled on. The adjustment straps work very well and can get a snug fit. I also like the visor on the hood. The biggest fail in my opinion are the pockets. The main pockets are set way up on the rib cage which is just weird. They are also kind of small. I do like the stitched in key ring though. The arm pockets are big enough for the average cell phone or passport. That’s all there is for pockets. The 2 huge flaps inside the coat that look like pockets actually are not. I don’t know what the purpose of them are. I do like the large back pocket albeit a bit difficult to access. Overall I think for the price point there are better options than this coat.

Really love this coat. Seems well made. Zippers are solid and fit was perfect. Wind proof and warm. I think it is an amazing value for the money. I could not recommend more.

I love everything about this jacket except the fact that I believe it has cheap zippers. The fit is great, it's actually warmer than my other (previous) rain coat, and it's got loads of storage space. Plus, it looks great.I don't need the velcro patches on the arm... I've done my time in the service, and don't need to be a poser.This is a great foul weather jacket. The hood is particularly great, and this will certainly keep you dry.

Buena calidad en su material

Very nice jecket

This is the SECOND jacket I've received which DID NOT include the American flag patch, for the sleeve.Since the patch was a VERY important part of the purchase, the first jacket was returned for credit, in the HOPE that the second jacket would include the patch. It didn't. I'll keep the jacket but am very disappointed that the patch was missing - TWICE !!!!!So if receiving the patch, too, is important to you ? I don't recommend ordering this jacket for that reason !!

Return this product

Everything was perfect except zip.. item is well build with waterproof material, but water will enter through your front zipper & you will be wasted in rain.
