Military Waterproof Men's Softshell Jacket Fleece Lining Camouflage Outdoor Coat

***EDIT***Used for 4 hours recently in constant light to medium downpour and kept me dry and warm, I was careful not to disturb the rain on the garment as it was forming droplets and didnt want to try bridging the surface, but it did occassionally and there was no noticeable ingress.Impressed....yet to see what a torrential downpour will result in.Bought an XXL but received an XL so was worried it might be too tight, as I am 48inch chest but quite broad shoulders and sleeve lengths are always shortish, but worries are over, its a good fit everywhere.Its very warm inside and thinly lined which should keep the moisture down some but its the build quality which I am happy with, seams and hems are all securely stitched and all pockets are zipped. Their lining is thin so dont be putting heavy objects in them, and the arm pockets are a little small for general use but I'm using it for orienteering so wont want extra weight anyway and the jacket is light which helps too.The hood design is clever, all round ability to adjust a tighter fit against the elements but haven't had a chance to test for weatherproofing yet, its quite spacious and allows me to wear a quite large woolly balaclava inside as well which is a plus.The length is good, it reaches well down past the small of the back and has a cord to tighten it up.Overall, I'm pleased, but would have preferred a couple of arm pockets less and a large, decent inside pocket instead, somewhere to keep my mobile phone and glasses away from the elements. The hand pockets are prone to bumping against things in normal movement, esp outside in a forest, but there is enough room to wear a bumbag underneath so its no prob, just a slight nuisance.

So the jacket is great .It's a light weight design and is modern and stylish weather it's the streets or fell walking it will definitely turn heads as a pro price of kit .Therse plenty of pockets with sturdy zips so rest Asher your belongings are safe .there 8s zips under the armpits for extra air circulation. It's warm material is also breathable .With the hood torso and cuffs all have elastic toggle to pull it in in all the rite places .so as for water proofing it's a good product in light rain for several hours youle be warm and dry .really heavy down poors youle notice dampness after a while but that is prolong in really heavy rain all round cracking bit of kit

This is a jacket which is full of surprises.Every time I put this on I seem to find a new pocket. There are:- Two big pockets on the main body on the front- A large pocket on the back which has two zips, one on each side. (It's kind of like the big pocket you get on some hoodies that goes all the way through, except with zips on each side and it's on the back).- One small pocket on EACH bicep which also have loop velcro (the soft bit) for attaching patches.- One small pocket on the left forearm (nothing on the right)- The bicep pockets and two main body pockets have a little rubber section with a small hole leading to the inside of the jacket, presumably to run headphones or a radio cable through.The pockets on the arms are a little bit on the small side. I have reasonably big hands and I can't actually get my hands inside them which isn't super. I'm not 100% sure why they are so small as it's certainly not a space issue as there is plenty of room on the pocket for the zip to have been bigger, more of a weird design choice I think.The cuffs both have a velcro adjustment so you can tighten them down.One little feature that isn't listed in the item description is that there is a zipper under each armpit which I'm assuming is designed to work as ventilation if it gets too hot.There are two elastic adjustments to tighten it around you waist which are quite nice if a little awkward to use because of the way they've been implemented. The one negative is that the elastic does seem to want to drop down and hang out of the bottom. You can just about tuck it away if you're bothered.The hood has an option to roll it up and velcro it in place so that it basically becomes a big thick collar. (That's what the weird square by the label at the back of the neck is for that you can see in the pictures).The hood itself is very nice. It has a little 'peak' which looks nice and stylish. The size is adjustable by elastic. It's a bit of a weird system to be honest and I'm not sure why it's been done this way. The elastic runs all the way around the hood, down the jacket and down into the two main pockets on the front. If you put your hand in, you can feel there's a little plastic stop attached to the end of the elastic cord ending in the pocket. The actual adjustment for the hood is up around the collar area on the outside of the jacket (visible in the pictures). It's a bit tricky to adjust to be honest, especially as you have to do it on both sides. Just a bit strange. I might be missing something but it doesn't seem particularly intuitive to use and is just unnecessarily fiddly. Also, (and the main reason that I've taken off a star) the elastic on one side of my hood has a knot tied in it which makes it even harder to adjust. I contemplated removing the elastic and undoing it, but I think because of the way it has been attached with the plastic stops etc, I would never be able to put it back together, so now I have to live with a weird knot. Probably a manufacturing error I'm guessing as it's just on one side.The jacket is very warm and has a fleecy material inside and seems very waterproof on the outside.Overall, I'm actually very happy with this. You can tell it's a high quality product and I think it will be long lasting. Weird knots and illogical hood adjustments aside, I'd happily buy this again. Perfect for what I wanted.

---Pros---Well made materialFleeced everywhere insideLots of zipsFit is good (went.XL)---Cons---Weatherproof/Showerproof, not waterproof (to be expected as it’s not sealed goretex)Front pockets aren’t very deep so not the best place to put your hands if it’s windy, I’d take gloves with you.There are some zips under the arms that don’t have pockets (just open to breath a bit) and that could cause some water leakage but they are under the arms so probably won’t be a problem. If you are just wearing a t-shirt, you can feel the metal of the zip line which feels a bit strange so wear a jumper or something underneath the jacket.----------------Definitely good to have a base layer or two underneath, there is room. I'm a 40" chest and the XL fits me perfectly, with room for whatever else I wear underneath. Worth the money, feels swag, feels sturdy like it would stand up to a good bit of bad weather, easy to wear over stuff, lots of pockets for your things... I'm keeping mine so yes I like it. If you're sizing is like me (6'1" @ 80kg, 40" chest) Go XL so that when you (eventually) get bigger it will still fit you. It fits like an L and you can make up any room with your baselayers.
