Quote History Quoted:
I like the un-insulated myself. Easier to regulate, add a fleece or whatever.
Did you buy a size up for layering or is already factored into the sizing already ?
I didn't know they made jacket like this.
I almost bought a Condor style jacket, glad I waited.
Thanks for the help

I didn't buy it, it was a gift from a buddy, it's a company logo'd jacket he got and it was way to big for him, as such it fits me perfectly
Just pulled the thing out of the car, I forgot the level of detail built into it... Big chunky zipper, the front flap is two part to block wind, and the underside is folded back over and bartacked to make a lip to keep wind and rain from coming under the flap in side winds. the chest zipper pocket is a gasket type to keep water from coming through. Main zipper has a guard inside to keep the zipper off your skin when up all the way/ keep it from eating beard hair.
As far as fit it's definitely IMHO cut for layering already. I have a large/ Regular and it fits well at 6'2 230. I can EASILY fit a fleece and softshell under it. Both the body and sleeves are cut for it.
It fits pretty much like a military ECWS Goretex but the material *feels* tougher.
Only dig on it is it doesn't have armpit zippers.
It's not a bad jacket at all, it's definitely geared toward working in moderately shitty weather. It's also machine washable with no special needs, so that is nice. Goretex is great and I've been REALLY lucky with mine, but I know a lot of people who've had theirs shit the bed when it got worn and dirty.
