I bought this jacket as a lighter-weight alternative to my other ops jacket also from BlackHawk. Overall it is very stylish and functional even though I wished there were some front hand pockets. I guess it is my habit; I would reach my hands to drop my keys into the pocket but finding no pockets there. I did not really care about the tuxedo tail since j so not wear a gear belt as I normally use this as a casul jacket. People who do not know about the use of the tuxedo tail would comment or ask about it. Maybe I will ask someone to sew strips of Velcro on the inside tail and on the inside jacket so I can fold it inside the jacket.
The jacket is very lightweight since it is one layer and has no linning. I guess it should be cheaper for the samll amount of material that it was made of. Overall I like it.
Pros: Lightweight, good looks
Cons: No front hand pockets, Velcro on collar sometimes stick tk the Velcro above the chest pockets.
