I got this Jacket in the beginning of January hoping for some bad weather (as said in the past, be careful what you wish for). The jacket is just OUTSTANDING!!! Works well alone but great with a thermal or 5.11 covert hoodie. The weather here has been below zero with the windchill a few times and I've found myself sweating. I've had to open the vents to allow air flow through. I've read some reviews were people wanted better lining but must say that would make it only a cold weather jacket. On the warmer day (not many so far) just with a long sleeve t-shirt has been fine. I stood out in the snow for almost two hours not a problem, as well as in the rain for over an hour and a half and nothing came through.The easy ability (with practice to get to your weapon is great. The size options also were just perfect for me. I can't say enough good thing about the jacket. I purchased two similar ones from two different companies and the sizes were not true and the difference in the quality of the breathability and warmth with the t-shirt alone was a big difference, while the price was almost the same. Thanks OpticsPlanet for selling it and 5.11 for making it.
Pros: Great outer shell, Great protection from the elements,
Cons: NONE!!!!
