TACVASENMen's Special Ops Military Tactical Rain Jackets Winter Warm Fleece Softshell Hooded Raincoat Snowboard

My son-in-law loved this coat! He needed something waterproof, warm, but not bulky. It was a Christmas gift and he tried it on just as soon as he opened it. I ordered a large and it fit perfectly. Very well made, flat seams, flat zipper, cuffs fit snug to keep out rain and wind. When he put up the hood and realized it has a bill on it to keep sleet out of the eyes, and then zipped the coat up all the way to cover neck and chin ... well, it was obvious this coat would protect him from any wet windy weather. (also ordered were waterproof gloves) Very nice looking jacket. One of the best purchases I've made for him. He'll get lots of wear out of it. Highly recommend.

Update 4 - Yeah, my reorder came today; with tags, looking great! This zipper even seamed to be working normal out of the gate! Awesome..Update 3 - Fingers Crossed, I've re-ordered again. Its a great looking jacket, and the material is better than most. I've had similar, that were a little warmer. But I've definitely had several similar. And am still leaving this as a 5 star item. If all goes well it'll be nice to keep wearing, and I do think its especially stylish..Update 2 - I ordered myself another of these jackets, but what I received was greasy, stained, dirty, piling, hairy, opened, and tagless. See images. This was in the Return Pile at the UPS store within an hour of my receiving it!Update 1 - Its been a couple years I've been wearing this jacket now. When I first got it I noticed the zipper was hard to pull, almost like it was cross threaded somehow; that never went away. I figured after 2 years that was the way it was. I'm surprised it lasted a couple years, almost exactly.I love this material, I live in New England; our weather changes to the extreme day to day. This is the jacket Material I wear most often(Fall Spring and half of the Winter.) This is my 5th jacket like this, but my first with an extra warm hood. The size is pretty accurate. I actually bought an XL and an XXL. I like my coats large for style and I like to have room to layering underneath, so I kept the XXL; though the XL looked pretty sharp too(just without any layers,) I was stuck between the sizes. I'm not sure my real Winter Coat would be much warmer with enough layers. I may purchase a second, in another color; to be seen at night, and because it was a good enough deal I'd get mad if I ever ripped or lost one..

I’ll start by saying I like the comfort, features, appearance and price of this jacket. Convenient pockets, strap to retain the hood when not in use, soft lining. Nice weight and ventilation features.Side pockets are 12” deep and have 8” openings. Pocket across lower back is 16” wide and 10” high with 6” zips on both sides. Each sleeve has a 6x9” pocket with a 4-1/2” zip - big enough for a phone, small radio, or sunglasses. The left sleeve has a 4x5” pocket near the wrist, just right for a remote-read ski pass.The hood is large enough to cover a snow-sport helmet.The seams do not appear to be taped, but resisted immersion in water for at least 30 seconds. Good enough.However…Zippers are very stiff and hard to move. Example: you have to wiggle and force the lower front zip to open (important for ventilation), and the pit zips bind at the mid-zip seam. I’m worried they won’t last. We’ll see. The front zipper also freely admits water to the inside of the jacket; an exterior or interior flap would help.I am 5’10”, 185 lbs, 36” waist, size 42 jacket. The large jacket was too small in the chest and shoulders (returned). The extra large fit well and allowed room for an extra layer, but had zipper problems; zippers on the third attempt were worse, so I kept the original extra large.

I would just like to start off by saying that this jacket fits well and there are some reviews that I have read giving it a low amount of stars and saying that the pockets aren't real.Perhaps they got a defective jacket but all of the pockets on mine are functional and real.It is pretty durable and water seems to bead off of it although I imagine like anything water will get through eventually especially if you're swimming with it.The fleece interior is very warm and comfortable.I see in other reviews as well that they mentioned the zipper is on the "wrong" side. The zipper mechanism is on the left hand side instead of the right hand side which really doesn't matter to me it functions I am not concerned with zipper etiquette.Some people are led to believe that this is a woman's jacket because the zipper is on the left, well I've seen soft shell jackets for women as I bought some for my partner and they are usually pleated around the upper chest and armpit area to allow room for breasts. This jacket is not pleated in such a way so I would say that's wrong.Although women can wear the jacket I'm just saying it does not possess that pleat that allows extra room for lady partsI would love if this had an attachable Hood as it does not the hood is permanently attached but can be rolled away although I'm not sure why you would want to anyway but you can you have options.That does not detract from the quality of the jacket in any way as it is not stated as having a removable Hood so there's no reason to deduct a star for that.This jacket will keep you warm it will keep you protected and it looks good. It's true to size as far as I can say and the material is satisfactory.It does have pull cords within to adjust the fit of the jacket as well as the hood and in other reviews I have taken note that they report their jacket not having retention clasps for the chords but mine does.Again I don't know if they got it defective jacket or if this jacket has changed and the company has fixed the issues. But that being said my jacket is complete and it has everything the bad reviews say it does not so quite happy with it.
