1000D CORDURA US Army Tactical Jacket Military Waterproof Windproof Hard Shell Jackets

Product is stiff. Good, thick, high quality material, but you need to wear it in. I washed it and wore it to dry a couple times to get it shoulder shaped right if you’re not super broad shouldered(would fit a grunt no problem (I’m a civilian female)It’s like wearing-in a leather jacket. Takes time to break in but good for light airsoft protection and daily wear(for tacticool folks) Would buy again, but such good quality probably won’t have to for a very long time.

It took me a long time to pull the trigger on this because I was worried the quality would be poor compared to the Kitanica MK I. I did not care that it was half price, I would have shelled out the money for the Kitanica if I liked it more. I think this one is considerably better, and yes it's half the price, no brainer!• No branding; Kitanica branding is pretty ugly• This grey version has grey matching buckles; the Kitanica Grey has black buckles which does not look good• Extra Molle loops and a pocket on the left arm• Half the price, there is no noticeable quality difference, it's 1000D versus 1000D, stitching looks fantastic on this.I am really tough to fit clothes (5'6" 175, 43 shoulders, 32 waist). I was hoping the small would fit so the arms wouldn't be long and ordered that but no way, the small would not fit (nylon does not stretch over time, how it fits is how it fits). Had to return the small and got the medium. It fits fantastic, the arms are a little long for me but that's normal for my height/size. That's the only con as well as cordura being a bit noisy when you're moving, but all cordura shells are noisy.

5’8” 215 lbs and the medium fits like a glove. The jacket is amazing and feels great. The only thing I am disappointed by is there is a zipper for a zip in liner but apparently no liner is available.

When I bought this coat, there weren't any reviews yet so I took a chance on it. I never write reviews but felt I had to for my fellow tact gear lovers. I've spent 14 collective years in the military and wish they issued bad ass jackets like this. It's clearly going to last a long time. Very durable. Pockets in all the right places, and stays a bit stiff and that's a plus for me. Couple this with some tactical pants and no nonsense boots and you'll look like you are in a call of duty photo shoot. Problem is I get stopped all the time to get asked where I got it. I bought the black in large which gives me plenty of room to wear a fleece and or sweater for colder days and just bought the medium desert color for t shirt and jacket days. I'm 6' 205 so I'm hoping I didn't make a mistake with the medium but I'll see soon. I carefully removed the shoulder flap where pen holders are in order to where an American flag patch which fits perfect and I wear my 2nd armored division unit patch on my right arm. My only complaint is there seems to be a zipper for a fleece jacket liner but it does not come with one but who cares?, I've got plenty of those and this is one bad ass jacket.

Very cool. Extremely durable and well made for a Chinese knock off. I bought a medium, I’m 6’0, 165 lbs, athletically built and it fits nicely. I even had room to wear a thick fleece under it.Works well in the wind but not quite “windPROOF” and the waterPROOFing is not quite correct because it still absorbs water after a while. That said, it is very wind and water RESISTANT. Important distinction to be made there. The resistance to wind and water is great but it is not quite wind and water proof. The 1000D cordura is awesome material but not the same as what a true wind/water proof jacket is made of. MUCH more durable though than what those jacket’s shells are made of (typically).Quality control gripe: mine came with one side of the waist adjustment strap torn off but not a deal breaker, I just looped it into the plastic piece and zip tied it. This where that whole Chinese knock off part shows.Personal taste related gripe: the buckles that go all the way up the front are kinda weird and unnecessary. Still not sure why those are there or what intended function they are supposed to have.Price gripe: I wish I took a picture of this but I didn’t and it’s too late due to trash pickup, but I paid $270 USD for multicam. The receipt/customs form from China had it listed as valued at $80 USD.... c’mon now. At least try to hide that. The fact that Zapt hiked the price by over 300% is dirty but expected, they are a business afterall. BUT, don’t rub it in. Insult to injury man.All things considered, I’m satisfied enough to give it 4 stars, would have been 5 if not for that torn strap and blatant price gouging. Plus a little product exaggeration.

I had no doubt the jacket would be awesome, but based on the other reviews, I was concerned about what size to order. A lot of reviews say the jacket runs large. I like extra room, but didn't want it to feel like I was swimming in it. Large or medium? I contacted the seller, and was refreshingly surprised to receive my first response back (of several) within the hour! She went above and beyond in making sure the jacket was going to be the right size, leaving room for layers (including a tactical service vest and shoulder holster) and a bottom hem that would go at least 3 inches down below my waist belt line. I'm only 5'9", and 175 lbs, Chest 44.5", Waist 38", Sleeve 21.5", and Back 24" from collar to belt. Despite what other reviews kind of indicated for someone of my dimensions, The large actually fits perfect! Hope this helps for other folks trying to determine what size to get. Also...the shipping was fast! Ordered on Oct 31, and received it on Nov 4.

runs small ordered 2x fits like 1x expensive should be proper size for cost

You will never see many jackets that look like this. I got a large and it’s well made and fit good. You can personalize the jacket even more by adding patches and extra Molly pouches making it a 1 of 1. Good inside pockets for traveling. Keeps your passport wallet and phone safe from wandering hands.
