Stick to brand name, poor fit

All sizes are wrong. Shoulders too wide, arms and torso too short, cuffs too loose. Bought thinking it would be a cheaper alternative to the similar Columbia jacket but very disappointed.

Pros
  • Fits me great
Cons
  • Big and chunky

Great value jackets and coats

Excellent value for money. The only thing I would change would be to add a hood to this jacket. Just the right weight to keep you warm and dry. The coldest temperature I've worn this jacket in was around 35 degrees. stay nice and warm I wore the jacket in light rain and stayed dry. I will definitely buy another one if needed.

Pros
  • Absolute legend
Cons
  • Weight

Like Prime Wardrobe

I always got oversized jackets when I ordered the size I thought would fit (same as my shirt size). So this time I ordered two sizes smaller than usual and it fits perfectly. I appreciate being able to return an item with Prime Wardrobe. This gave me the confidence to try a different size and not have to worry about returning an item if it doesn't fit. Prime Wardrobe "fits me well".

Pros
  • Hands Free
Cons
  • So So

Permanent heavy bag.

How to carry a heavy sack filled with air. Do not drive or wear a seat belt while this jacket is zipped up. The design has no neck, just a hole for the head to protrude from. I constantly remake what should be on the neck, otherwise it would be unbearable to wear. I figured if I had enough time I might break it (like a glove). But no, a constant heavy bag. At least on a windy day the thing is warm. And 100% waterproof (when zipped).

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Quick Guide

these jackets do not fit size

these are really good jackets. The material is great and they keep you warm. The only problem is they don't fit. Even though I used the measuring guide, I had to take the jackets two sizes smaller than my usual size, but they were still too big for me. I'm already a tall guy, so it felt weird for me to wear a jacket smaller than my usual size and swim in it at the same time. The measuring instructions must be adapted for this article.

Pros
  • cool product

I like it. - For men

I'm always skeptical when I order something like this coat online. I'm glad I did. I've been wearing this jacket for about three weeks. This jacket fits me a little more, but not too bad. I'm 6'1" and 245 lbs. I ordered XXL Tall. It's REALLY long. I like it a little bigger than small. The weight of the jacket is just right. I wanted something to wear in spring and fall I live in Ohio so April temp starts in the 20's and warms up to the 50's and 60's during the day Not too heavy but not too…

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Miscellaneous Miscellaneous

You won't regret it big boys

What can I say about this jacket other than it's fantastic! This Montana resident jacket stands up to the cold very well. I wore it on days with temperatures below 20 degrees and felt hot and warm. It does a good job of not soaking up the rain as it rolls off. It's strong and very durable. I would definitely buy it again, but won't because this thing is built to last, I tell you. Now there is 1 small minus, but it's more of a personal preference, the collar sometimes goes quite high, most often

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • I won't say anything

Worst product I've bought from Revain

Possibly my worst purchase on Amazon. This is from the Revain base but based on DXL sizes. i'm a big guy 6 feet 5 inches and have 38 inch arms. I didn't order large ones because I buy DXL and their sleeves are usually quite long and I've never had a problem. This piece of junk is neither the right size nor the right connector. The body of the jacket reaches almost to the knees. The sleeves end just below the elbows. The jacket would suit a Tyrannosaurus Rex perfectly, but no one else. Not at…

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Speed

Nice and comfortable to wear

not too warm. coped well with the cool weather in New York in March. coped with the rain as expected. I really liked the zippered pockets, especially the ones on the left chest, great for my smartphone, and the side pockets are DEEP, like they would fit deep into my Contigo coffee mug. However, the docking stars. HOLY STATIC BATMAN. The amount of static electricity is literally painful. I recommend removing all electronics before removing your jacket. Every time I took off my jacket, I was…

Pros
  • Comfortable to wear
Cons
  • old
