I have enjoyed my couple of weeks with the jacket. It has yet to be cold enough to layer so I can't speak to that. The buttons and hand warmer pockets work great. I have had other jackets with the vertical zip so I like that feature. The high collar is nice and keeps your neck warm. The rear pockets have come in handy a couple of times but not comfortable to sit on with stuff in them. I don't know what I would "store" in them if I was going to be sitting to much. I will have to work through that. Works well with day pack but haven't used with gun belt or pack waist belt yet. Haven't used the hood but it is plenty big. A minor problem with my jacket is that the bottom of the "male" side of the zipper wasn't sewn down so it is hard to zip. Will get that fixed and should end that problem. The pit zips open very easily and vent well. They do take two hands to close but not a huge deal since you can do it with the jacket on w/o issue.

The smock I received had a slight manufacturing problem. One of the pockets was not stitched properly and I had to get into it with a needle and thread. Apart from that I have used it on operations over the last 3 weeks. I use it under my gear when doing security and when im on patrol it folds up to nothing and fits into one of my pouches. Its a great smock and keeps out the water, although some layering is required for cold weather.
