I haen't seen such an indepth , straight forward and honest review of this product anywhere on the internet. Thanks Mark, you're the definite "go to" for gear reviews!
Thank you for your kind words
I’m 5’10 and about 180-190 and can confirm medium will fit and not look tight, M and L will both be fine. It’s a great hoodie, pretty wind proof too.
Honestly thank you for this review because some ads (and their marketing) make it look like a scam when it’s actually a great product. You knocked it out the park with this overview and seem to have changed tons of peoples minds lol. 10/10
Glad you liked the video. It remains my favourite fleece. Thanks for commenting
glad you did this one, those ads always made it look like a scam, marketing fail lol its actually a nice hoodie!
It really is. Thanks for commenting
Sounds like it’s worth keeping my eye out for a good sale! I totally agree with you on the marketing hype: it screams “cheap” or “scam” to me, but glad to hear it’s actually pretty good. 👌
I really like it and use it most of the time. Thanks for commenting
Very good review on this jacket, Thank you Mark, as always a job well done!
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for commenting
It looks like a nice jacket. I noticed it on your last video and was curious. I love the fact that it has so many pockets.
I really like it but only use the more common pockets most of the time. Thanks for commenting
Finally an honest review, not a fake ad. Thanks Mark now I truly will consider purchasing one. Cheers my friend.
Glad you found it helpful. Thanks for commenting
Thanks for the review.
I bought a Baerskin hoodie and I really like it, it's a solid piece of clothing.
Glad you like it! Thanks for commenting
Thanks Mark! I trust the honest and informed opinions on various outdoors equipment that you share with us.
I have thought about this item as a "mid layer" as you described, but the "cheesy" ads put me off.
I really like mine. Thanks for commenting
Now, THAT was a really good review. Thanks!
Glad you liked it! Thanks for commenting
great review Mark. I have not paid attention to this item because of the huckster like ads. Nice to have your seal of approval
I really like mine. Thanks for commenting
Thanks for such a concise review. Like you I found Baerskin ads to be too much. Your review has changed my opinion. I am now reconsidering my opinion. Thanks again for a great review.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for commenting
I've been on the fence with this product for some time. Your review thorough and I trust your judgement. Thank you for the review.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for commenting
Great Presentation & Thoughts On This Mark ! Much Enjoyed ! ATB T God Bless
Thanks for commenting Terry
OMG so true about their stupid commercials. They do more to turn me away from their product. Great review.
Glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for commenting
Been thinking about getting one of these and this has been the best review I've watched, by far. Thanks Mark.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for commenting
The hood is large enough for a climbing helmet. which is a good feature for travelling in rocky or difficult terrain where falls can easily occur.
Right on. Love the large hood on this. Thanks for commenting
Thank you for cutting through the hype and intense advertising surrounding this product Mark. I have a friend that bought in to the hype and purchased this jacket and was sorely disappointed. You have brought this back down to a reasonable assessment of what this jacket is which makes it far easier to assess whether or not this is a product someone would be interested in buying. Great review Mark. Thank you for sharing!
Hey Steve. That is unfortunate. There is so much hype around this garment. A lot of it perpetuated by reviewers. I love mine but it is not worth the full price being asked for it. Thanks for commenting
I'm 5'10, 190. Thanks for the fit comparison at the start 👍
Glad it was helpful. Thanks for commenting
I think it looks like a great hoodie and glad to see it's available in women's sizes. The density of the fleece, the doubling up of fabric in key areas, and the ability to cinch in the cuffs, waist, and hood are all features that cut out the effects of wind and cold even if it is not 'windproof.' An outer shell can be added if needed. Great review, Mark.
Glad you found it helpful. Thanks for commenting
G'day Mark, great to see a "proper" fleece. I'm always disappointed with the "regular" stuff. i.e. if its cold enough to wear one, make it a good one.
More pockets than a pool table, ...... or two, ....... though better too many than too few IMO and since they're there, I really like the way each and every one is designed.
Yes I know its called a "hoodie", but I'd really like the same thing without the hood, because; I hate anything interrupting my peripheral vision + they get in the way of pack yolks/straps. Just gimme a "ball cap", woolly beanie or even a balaclava if its that cold. Only time I ever use one is in the rain, and then that job falls to my "plastic chicken" or "duck" i.e. ................. WP layer ; )
Anyway, very well reviewed mate !!! Cheers Duke.
I will check to see what else they have. Thanks for commenting Duke
I've always wondered if these live up to the hype. Solid review as always, thank you!
Most welcome. Thanks for commenting
Excellent review. I’ve been wearing mine for about 5 months now and will give my thoughts soon. Well done Mark👍
Thanks Wade. I am looking forward to watching your review
Good review Mark! ❤
Glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for commenting
Appreciate the honest review, Mark!
Yes, I've seen several of their advertisements on the web (who hasn't that's spent any time on the internet?), and like you, most of them just made me not want to watch. But as you said in your closing, getting honest reviews from people who are known for their outdoor knowledge and experience really makes a difference! Glad you also mentioned getting it on sale, too - I took a quick look at their website when the commercials first started, saw the price, and said, "No, thanks!". But I'll keep an eye out for them on sale now - my climate (mid US) is not as harsh in the winter as yours, so it would probably work for me for fall through to early spring, even if a cold snap hits and I had to layer it.
Thanks again!
Glad you found it helpful. Thanks for commenting
Great review Mark!!!
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for commenting
Hi Mark excellent review. You’ve gained yourself a new sub here. I would have loved if they added some polyester reinforcement to the chest and shoulder area (similar to the north face Denali). They would have given it some abrasion resistance when wearing a backpack.
Thanks for the sub. I agree, some shoulder and maybe elbow patches would add to durability to the garment. Thanks for commenting
Had my doubts about this jacket but after seeing another review, I ordered one. I like my jackets somewhat loose. I'm a little over 5'11"" and weigh 210. I ordered the x large. The fit for me is perfect. I have a couple ventile parkas and heavy cotton parkas and this fits perfect with them. Same for my rain jacket. Also very pleased (and somewhat relieved) with the quality.
Right on. They have a few other items that look pretty good as well. Thanks for commenting
Thank you, like you say when you are bombarded with hyped up adverts for something it turns you off, and you tend to distrust anything said in the adverts,
So this is exactly when you need a genuine review.
I so agree. Thanks for commenting
Great review. I bit the bullet 3mos ago and dropped $99US for one. No regrets. I love the inside zip pockets for my wallet & cell when traveling. Warm when biking in the NE when there's no snow on the road.
Right on. I really like mine as well. Thanks for commenting
Looks like a well designed piece of kit
It is very nice to wear. Thanks for commenting Alex
Another rigorous gear evaluation from a trusted source. My idea of a good time. V3.0 looks to be a great design of an important layer. The hood? It would be interesting to hear the designer's explanation.
Glad you liked the video. Thanks for commenting
Great job Mark!
Thanks for commenting
Just another great video! I liked your commentary about the adds on RUclips at the beginning and end of your review. Made me laugh!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for commenting
Mark, I own the BAERSkin Tactical Hoodie 2.0 version and I love it. Your review of this product is honest and accurate. I never expected my BAERSkin hoodie to be waterproof, so I have a waterproof shell that I carry in the rear "kangaroo" pockets for when it rains. Great review as always!
Glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for commenting
Needs to be a deeper forest green color..Looks like good quality though!!!
That would be a nice option. Thanks for commenting
Good review Mark , thanks for sharing YAH bless !
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for commenting
Fantastic Review! Thanks Brother . I Wil Definitely Purchase One. I didn't Know about all the extra pockets. Awesome jacket. Have a Great week 24 hours of rain in South Carolina . Hope it goes out to the Atlantic Ocean before reaching NS.
Look s like your rain will be a big nor'easter snow storm to hit us tomorrow afternoon. Thanks for commenting
Great review.
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for commenting
Good review
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for commenting
I do like the way it looks. I think for the most part, it would be great for where I live in California. We don’t have super cold weather. Great review, Mark. 👏👏👏✌️🇺🇸🇨🇦✌️
Yes, should be a good for your climate. Thanks for commenting
Thank you Mark.
That Jacket sounds like a Great winter coat for here in Kentucky 😂
Yes, should work well for you. Thanks for commenting
@@MarkYoungBushcraft
I make it a habit to purchase winter gear if needed in northern climates, rather than here in the Southern States, simply BECAUSE the further North you go the colder it gets, and with that the items are better equipped to handle the colder temperatures.
And also the latitude of Germany is about the same latitude as Montreal...so growing up in Germany I am used to cold climates and I can see and feel the difference in quality, between here in Kentucky compared to Iowa or Minnesota quality...👍🏼
I order the Baerskin the day of the review, after 5 days no word on shipping, contact support and said it takes up to 2 weeks to ship. After the contact, the Baerskin ship, from where! It shipped from CHINA. So, if you order it, you will wait a while to receive the jacket. Mark great review, and your trusted reviews. I would like to see some reviews on items for car camping, as we are getting older.
The delay is unfortunate. I hope the hoodie makes up for the wait. Thanks for commenting
Always wounder about this howdy, I still get advertising for it. Thanks for the review
I really like the hoody but not the adds. Thanks for commenting
Yes i and my family do not have one of these simply because of the advertising method. Thank you for your review. That may change quickly now . 1 at a time so to speak
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for commenting
💯👍🏻 great review!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for commenting
Mark, first of all THANK YOU for an excellent review. Second.... I just got mine to check out. So far, so good! And lastly, 4.0 could also use a way to roll down the hood and keep it rolled-up/down (Velcro strap???). Again, THANK YOU!!!
I like that idea. Thanks for commenting
Thanks for your accurate review. I bought one and wore it outdoors for a month this winter. I live on a hill and we get a lot of wind and I found the wind resistance fairly poor and doesn`t match up to their claims. As a mid level layer it`s good but that negates a lot of the pockets. Gave it away. For what it is, I find it overpriced by comparison with other products out there.
I agree there are options. Still, the build and material quality is very good on this jacket. Thanks for commenting
Yeah, I fell to their marketing and bought one (on sale) which I was a bit embarrassed about. But I'm pretty happy with my XL version in dark blue. I have long arms so I was happy that they're long enough. Some of the advertised features aren't important to me (too many pockets) or not really new (draw strings in the bottom etc). I like that the pockets are huge. I can easily wear it around town down to about -5c, but haven't tried it out in very nasty weather yet. (We've barely had a winter here in southern Ontario this year). The brief drizzles I've been out there in haven't come through at all.
Things I would change: the main zipper doesn't feel as sturdy as I would like. I wish the liner in the sleeves was slicker like nylon so I could put it on without having to struggle with my shirt sleeves and wouldn't feel so binding when I'm moving around. They could do the whole inside in nylon as far as I'm concerned.
Those are good points. Things to improve on the 4.0 version. Thanks for commenting
We live in Nova Scotia, nothing is Wind proof...LOL
LOL...so true. Stay safe in the storm tomorrow. Thanks for commenting
I value your reviews. I just order one for my life style
Let me know what you think. Thanks for commenting
One thing I wish pull-over hoodies, with the "kangaroo" tunnel pocket in the front would do, is mount zippers on both sides...make them more secure for cell phones and such...I call the flap behind the zipper a "storm flap", helps cut wind penetration...
Zippers on kangeroo pockets make a lot of sense. Thanks for commenting
My wallet slipped out of my kangaroo pocket, slipped between the front seat and the tunnel...my kid left the window down 3 inches..wallet gone🎉
Mark I always enjoy your reviews, but with that opening rant on hype being such a turn off you dont even care to look at them to find out... I felt that in my soul. lol
But now I know you're 100% honest and unbiased as well as thorough.
When Forest Gump came out good grief! If I had been paid $20 for everytime I had to listen to someone rave about it and insist I had to watch it.
Have To.
You Haaaaave! to watch it.
"Life changing, **Must watch!!"
Eventually everytime added a year that I didn't. Haha
About 12 years later I watched it
It was a good movie.
....still waiting on that life changing magic to happen...
Just sayin'
Anyway good review, looks good & I like the extra thick fuzz. May look into this one. Thanks
The magic is out there😃 I find it in the woods. Thanks for commenting
Better than felted wool/homespun? (Not sure if that last word is correct, but that's what G👀gle Translate suggested for the swedish word 'vadmal') Felted wool is, to my knowledge, water & wind resistant.
A good wool garment is always better but usually heavier and more expensive. Thanks for commenting
I love my wool Hoodie from Lester River Bushcraft. It's a pullover, so getting it on and off is a little more difficult. I still prefer the pullover, because zippers usually fail before the rest of the the jacket.
Gosh, Mark. I always have thought that you'd be 6'5" tall and weigh 250lb with XXL hands and being half Bunyan.(your skills with axe, I mentioned before) Next thing I find out later might be you are only 47? Nice jacket, Mark.
LOL... would you believe 74?...just 66 years young. Thanks for commenting
Hyped up? I've never heard about it. LOL 😂
You didn't miss anything😅. Thanks for commenting
i like it
So do I. Thanks for commenting
Nothing turns me off more than bad advertising. If not for your stirling review, I would never consider owning the baerskin hoodie. I am about your size. (5'-10 1/2", and 185#) But with the shoulders and arms of a 6'-2" person, I need X-L, or L-T. Is there a place where a person can try them on? I hate to have to pay to ship a product back that doesn't fit.
I am not aware of any place to try them on. Maybe someone will comment on their return experience. Thanks for commenting
What's the price run on those, in Yankee dollars?
You will need to check out their website for a current price. Thanks for commenting
looks completely identical to the helikon patriot
I can see the similarities. I have a Helikon anorak review coming. Thanks for commenting
Hello from Beautiful British Columbia Canada 🇨🇦
Definitely horrible advertising 🙄
Never would have considered purchasing one without your review
It is a nice hoodie, just over hyped and over priced at retail. Thanks for commenting
Looks like a solid piece of gear but I have to agree with you that the advertising put me off this product completely. I got several ads in a row advertising a 67% off sale which made me curious enough to click on to their site. The info says I could buy this jacket for 67% off of its $429 CAD reg price. So I could get this hoodie for $140 CAD. This "Out of your Friggin Mind" pricing made me wary of any other claims they made and just labelled it as a scam. It looks like a good hoodie from your review but I don't trust this type of marketing at all. This company is their own worst enemy. These people strike me as former or future politicians. Caution on your next vote is advised.
I so agree. They would be much better off with legit adds. Thanks for commenting
Unfortunately the bearskin jacket that I purchased the zipper came on the left side
Thanks for commenting
This is near-as-dammit exactly the same as the Helikon Tex fleece jacket I have…. Except nearly twice the price…. Unjustifiably so.
Line the sleeves with something slippery for ease of putting on
Very similar to the HK Patriot. Thanks for commenting
Bought it on sale for 140$
Good price. Thanks for commenting
Good Video, but my experience was not at all like yours! WORST GARMENT PURCHASE I'VE EVER MADE. I bought the hoodie in 3X and the body fits fine. But the arms on mine are made for some pencil man, they are stretched tight from my wrists to my shoulders so I can't wear it over a long sleeve shirt. And the hood is apparently made for a 50X hoodie as it hangs all the way over my head down to my chin. No adjustment on the back of the hoodie to adjust how far over your head it goes and mine seriously completely comes down to the bottom of my chin, rendering the hoodie unwearable for me.
I get NO RESPONSE from their customer service. And from what I've heard from others, returning it is impossible as you will pay more to ship it back to China than you paid for the hoodie and then they still might not refund your money.
Wow. definitely not my experience at all. Having said that, I have heard about the issues regarding poor communications. Thanks for commenting
Who makes the zippers? Cheap zippers ruin even the finest outerwear.
I so agree. The brand name is "Tab" Thanks for commenting
@@MarkYoungBushcraft I had to get rid of two Woolrich Winter coats due to bad zippers. Tailors want a small fortune to replace them due to the amount of work involved.
