I have been waiting for nearly a month after ordering this product and it has not arrived. When looking into shipping data, I find that the origin is in China. On the website, they allude to our veterans as a selling point, but they do not even make the product in the US.
The big warning that this company is dishonest is that they do not have customer service. They only respond through email and they refuse to respond in a timely manner. I never received my product or a refund.
They want me to believe this Hoodie, which was made in a Chinese sweat shop, is worth $300? Is it lined with gold? If not, I suspect good old fashioned American price gouging.
@@BeastMadeReviews : I saw on their website that they are claiming the regular price is $299.95, but if you order now, you'll only have to pay $129.99 or something like that. I think their promo was 67% off.
@@BeastMadeReviews I have one and like it a lot, but I think this "discount" really had me fooled. I thought I was wearing something super luxurious for an incredible deal, but the -60% price is suspiciously similar to the non-discounted price of other "tactical" jackets of equal quality out there.
Got mine this week. Wear a large no problem. It's cold here in Toronto and it keeps me warm. When it gets a bit colder a sweater underneath will do the job. Just bought one for my wife. I find it too warm to wear indoors, but great for everyday outdoor useage.
Dude. You are not truthful. Contact me and we'll work it out maybe there is another company intercepting web traffic, that is the ONLY thing I can think of, unless your a paid actor. 😊
The tactical thing is a little much, but this is not a $25 hoodie. It is made really well and is 100% polyester. Most fleece is a cotton poly blend and cotton is not what you want to be wearing if it gets wet. Polyester still insulates wet and dries faster. This would make a nice jacket for shoulder season or as a mid layer underneath a shell.
I purchased a Bearskin hoodie 3.0 after seeing several reviews on the product some were positive others not so much for various reasons. However, as a Bow Hunter I was looking for an easy to pack mid layering hoodie for when the temperature drops below a comfortable level. I think this item will serve its purpose well.
When was the last time an article of clothing caused such a stir? That says it all. I purchased one and just really like the fit, warmth and oh yes the style.
Honest reviews are objective. Reviews that don't have rules and ethics or minimum criteria around consistency in metrics are just so much bullshit. There are objective reviews. You just don't do them. Great dodge.
I've ordered the 3.0 in the women's. I wasn't impressed. Other than some extra pockets, it's no better than any other fleece jacket. My toggels do not work and I'm constantly having to re tighten them. The hard tag on the wrist is uncomfortable. I don't understand why the wrist opening has to be so wide and bulky. It is not any wind or water resistant than any other product on the market. The hood is too large and it keeps blocking my view. It's not something i wouod recommend.
@@Timesucker941a toggle is the push button that holds the elastic at the waist that plastic thing on both sides. Holds in the Heat by snugging that plastic toggle on the thin elastic in them hem of bottom of fleece. That is the toggle.😊
I feel ripped-off by my new 3.0. It’s a lot less wind-resistant and a WHOLE LOT LESS WATERPROOF than my faithful old North Face & Berghaus fleeces. This means that (in Europe) I almost always need an outer layer by which time the whole thing gets ludicrously and IMPRACTICALLY bulky. And it’s so bulky anyway that my excellent old North Face outer-layer won’t fit on top: so what am I supposed to do, buy a new one?! F-off Baerskin! All-in-all I increasingly feel not just like a twat but like a total twat for having fallen for the Baerskin hype, 60%, or-do-I-mean-67%?, off … and all else. Yes, a TOTAL & ABSOLUTE TWAT.
i have 3 of them and love them. two 2.0 and one 3.0. had the 2.0's for over a year got the 3.o last Christmas. use one for every day, work and special occasions. i live in Colorado. and have no problem going out in just the hoodie and a light weight shirt.
The advertising screams garbage as does perpetually discounted pricing.its a Walmart grade fleece.. nothing special about the design and pockets are only good if useful..most of these are not
"When it gets cold." From someone who has lived in ND, SD, WI and PA (and did BT in SC during winter), I'd say it's the people who are cold = not the weather. 😊 Take care.
I bought the baerskin version 1.0 it was good. They started marketing the version 2.0 and I bought that for my 2 sons and 1 for myself. The only time I don't like wearing it is when it is 60 degrees Fahrenheit or hotter, i just end up sweating my ass off. It's a great hoodie, I'd even wear it if I shit myself. 😂
what im worried about is static i have a major problem when wearing some material. im not worried about being objective as i just wanted to see more of the hoodie thanks.
Lets see an activity / performance comparison against the competitors in its supposed non discounted price range ie ArcTyrex , Sitka, Solomon, Helly Hanson, Canada Goose etc.
@@BeastMadeReviews They ARE, but in most ads I see, the indication is that you're a dummy if you layer, since there's this hoodie you could wear instead. And I think, "Yeah. We've had that sort of thing before. They're called 'warm jackets'." There is a purpose behind layering. There's a reason they have to poo-poo it in the ads.
it's just marketing mumbo jumbo. I usually never listen to that. I didn't realize that they said that in their ads, since I've never heard it. Butit is silly for them to say that. But it's still a really good, warm jacket.
@@BeastMadeReviews I'm aware. I've been in communications for decades. It's just generally not a good idea to marginalize one niche while you're targeting another. Kind of like the saying, "Cutting down someone else doesn't make you taller." They've decided to market against me, so I won't be buying their hoodies. Bud Light and Target learned the same lesson a bit over the past year. Take care.
These look EXACTLY like the cheap, but nice, Chinese made tactical hoodies that were available at the (redacted)-shop in Afghanistan. They did fall apart pretty quick, though... But, bruh, at $99, that's a 500% markup! (Which, from a business viewpoint, is pretty epic.)
I ordered 2XL they sent me a man's 2XL I ordered a woman's 2XL not much difference. I need a large. I find the under arm area way too big too much material. Disappointed on it really being 100 % polyester. Should be a blend. I want to send them back but where??
You just had me scrambling to take off to check the tags on my hoodie a friend gave me. It's currently -40 outside. Nope... lil one says 100% polyester. For what it does for whats happening outside I love mine; so as a non-owner of this hoodie, let my comment speak volumes.... because I put my jacket on instead xD
The Carhart is a great hoodie, but it's very different and isn't a great comparison. I can't vouch for someone else's experience, but these hoodies were VERY warm on me. I hear you on the zippers though--I wish they were metal YKK any day.
It'd be nice to see a REAL review. By someone who isn't getting free gear and/or financial kickbacks. Also someone from the north. I'm not sure how I feel about this review. Also not saying it's bs.
I wasn’t paid anything for this review. If you are new to my channel, go watch some of my other videos to get a better feel for my review style before giving criticisms. I review a ton of stuff and it would be a financial ruin to buy everything. I have to depend on companies sending products out, and I tell them I will give my honest thoughts and feedback. If I WAS sponsored, I would disclose it, since I am legally supposed to. As for my thoughts, I think they’re fair. I don’t think this is the best hoodie out there, but it is a a very good one for what it is.
@@bastiat6865 I wouldn't buy anything from any of these ads. I saw an ad for etsy that had a hammered Damascus chef knife that looked nice. It's not a terrible knife but the Damascus is "Damascus". Hammered blades are supposed be non stick but EVERYTHING sticks to it. It's also heavy. A few months later I saw a temu ad with the identical knife. I bought it so I can say for fact. It was like $17 on temu and $100-120 on etsy. Etsy is supposed to be crafters selling wares. Not rebranding items bought for almost nothing. I don't even click on any ad that comes my way online. Never again. So disappointing
I generally loathe "The Hoodie" but I must say I like the looks of this one. I'm originally from Michigan, and have spent the majority of my Winters back on the east coast, but I find that I rarely wear a Winter attire here in North Central Texas so something lightweight, yet warm & resistant to these always-on Texas winds, would be greatly appreciated while outdoors from November to mid-March. The problem I'm having is, "What the heck is a tactical hoodie? Seriously, when I think "tactical" I'm carrying my IWI Carmel, IWI X95, Zastava ZPAP M70, Benelli M4, Beretta 1301, or one of my tactical handguns. Not exactly how "tactical" these are, but it looks like practical attired for when me and the misses are hiking or working outdoors. I'll give this one some more thought... Back to boots...love the Helm and Nisola. They're excellent office/casual boots, but there's not outdoor/work boots. I picked-up a couple pairs of Thursday Boots, which are more of a casual/light work boot(excellent value for $200 boots) and I'm waiting on my first pair of Grant Stone Field Boots to arrive. Yeah, I didn't want to spend this kind of $$$ on boots, but you gotta spent if you want BeastMade quality. Enjoyed.
thank you, Jim! Yeah the term "tactical" is a strange term with products sometimes. It seems to have a somewhat military look, but I doubt any military would actually use this. But it is a great hoodie, all things considered!
Don’t fall for all that Baerskin hype Jimr - like I did! My 3.0 is not wind-resistant enough for Scotland, certainly less so than my old North Face & Berghaus fleeces. And that whole mass of thick, fluffy, ‘sticky’ fleece just isn’t remotely practical for working outdoors. It’s useless for chainsawing/firewood or for anything dusty and/or dirty - and so it’s useless in the workshop or garage … or even in the kitchen! The only thing good about it is that, yes, it’s comfy if you can cope with its ludicrous bulk - but I sure can’t! The reviewer who got the Baerskin right was the guy who said he’d bought two, one to wear around the house by day in winter and a second to wear in his bed at night! For me, my 3.0 has turned out one of life’s little ‘disasters’. It’s made me feel like a TOTAL TWAT for falling for the TSUNAMI of phoney Baerskin advertising-hype: grrrrrrr …
Saw the youtube ad and it took me to a sale site. Paid I think 70 bucs for it. Really took a long time to arrive. It came in a bag that said Bearskin. I will have my son bring it for Christmas and take a few pictures of it. Very thin and the opposite side zipper. No back side pockets. Not at all what the video showed. I must have been sent to a knock off site maybe. Still really irritating. I wanted to replace my 25 year old fleece.
Nice review. At the 3:21 point, the back zippers look uneven. The one on the right looks lower at the top. That's concerning, considering this is supposed to be such a high quality item. This is not the case with the medium, gray one. I was thinking of ordering one in green, but I can see that the green is not a dark green, therefore I won't be ordering it. The pockets aren't something I need. I've loved my Champion fleece hoodie for years. I'd understood this one was warmer, which would be good in the cold snap we're having. One thing I do like is the design of the hood & neck portion -- that might sway my decision to order one of these.
My Experience is that this company fails to uphold the quality of their product. The zipper is utterly subpar! Issues arose within the first month of use, and in hindsight, I should have taken advantage of their six-month warranty at that time. My wife bought it just two months before Christmas, So it wasn't used for two months and by the third month of use, the zipper became completely unusable! I strongly advise against purchasing anything from this company because their lack of accountability means they won't rectify any issues. A zipper should definitely last longer than three months, and a reputable company with a customer-centric approach would swiftly replace it as a gesture of goodwill. It's disappointing that such a seemingly simple item, made of cloth and employing old technology, can't be crafted to last. I have hoodies that cost a fraction of the price and have lasted over five years without a hitch.
I've heard this comment before, and I've looked at the TAD Ranger hoodie. It looks like an excellent hoodie, but it does not look the same. Definitely not a copy. Maybe "inspired by" is better, but that happens all the time.
WORST GARMENT PURCHASE I'VE EVER MADE. I bought the hoodie in 3X and the body fits fine. But the arms 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.
... awesome? Not so Mgoblue. It's an impractical pain-in-the-arse. I was TWATTY enough to be duped by the corny advertising and have lived (uncomfortably) to VERY MUCH regret being such a TWAT!
hoped for better. The fleece is NOT warm at all...Not worth $99. If there is wind and under 60 degrees....it's totally useless except for indoor use. Maybe I can keep all my crayons in those pockets LoL Its a scam people - save your money and buy a proper brand --> this isn't worth more that $25-30, let alone $299 or $99. 80% of the profits goes to google search ads and junk reviews like this or click farms
C’mon give me a break…. The fleece is so thin, and it’s not high tech like other brands that have tech fleece. It’s like a decade ago fleece. I usually don’t bother with reviews but this one is so bogus and I feel like so cheated (own fault for falling for scam ads) select worst reviews….those are the true ones - all others are from a click farm or bot or paid like this one
I wouldnt buy this crap just because they try n make ya believe the retail on it is a rediculous $300 but is infinitely on sale for like $99 bucks.. thats shady ... next
These good reviews have to be fake. This is naybe a 35 dollar hacket and mibe didnt gave all the pockets it seemed cheaply made and notcworth the ridiculous price
I honestly don’t understand some of the criticism. I have had a few comments that talk about poor quality, but I haven’t seen it. And I have seen a few from different people.
Not at all... the stitching is absolutely terrible and falling apart after 2 washes and 5 months of use... waste of money Edit: yes the design is great but the build quality has much to be worked on... not sure why the stitching is so bad... maybe they aren't to worried about it coming apart before a year's worth of use is up... it was awesome brand new but after some use its just crap...also the velcro for the wrist adjustments stops working when the velcro securing patches fall off
This video is basically a paid advertisement. Not real testing. Everything that was paid for was amazing and GREAT. Lame lame lame “review” that sucks up to the vendor.
Not a paid advertisement at all. If it was, I would say that in the video. You realize, that people have opinions, right? And that those opinions are positive sometimes? And that people express those positive opinions? If it was paid, they really got shafted on a video a year late.

I will have my son bring it for Christmas and take a few pictures of it. Very thin and the opposite side zipper. No back side pockets. Not at all what the video showed. I must have been sent to a knock off site maybe. Still really irritating. I wanted to replace my 25 year old fleece.
Nice review. At the 3:21 point, the back zippers look uneven. The one on the right looks lower at the top. That's concerning, considering this is supposed to be such a high quality item. This is not the case with the medium, gray one. I was thinking of ordering one in green, but I can see that the green is not a dark green, therefore I won't be ordering it. The pockets aren't something I need. I've loved my Champion fleece hoodie for years. I'd understood this one was warmer, which would be good in the cold snap we're having. One thing I do like is the design of the hood & neck portion -- that might sway my decision to order one of these.
... just don't!
I am shocked that people pay $100 for these hoodies. Looks great but I think they should be $50-$60.
I actually think the price is fair at $100
My Experience is that this company fails to uphold the quality of their product. The zipper is utterly subpar! Issues arose within the first month of use, and in hindsight, I should have taken advantage of their six-month warranty at that time. My wife bought it just two months before Christmas, So it wasn't used for two months and by the third month of use, the zipper became completely unusable! I strongly advise against purchasing anything from this company because their lack of accountability means they won't rectify any issues. A zipper should definitely last longer than three months, and a reputable company with a customer-centric approach would swiftly replace it as a gesture of goodwill. It's disappointing that such a seemingly simple item, made of cloth and employing old technology, can't be crafted to last. I have hoodies that cost a fraction of the price and have lasted over five years without a hitch.
They copied these directly from the Tad Gear Ranger hoodie. Which is made in America, more expensive and a little harder to get.
I've heard this comment before, and I've looked at the TAD Ranger hoodie. It looks like an excellent hoodie, but it does not look the same. Definitely not a copy. Maybe "inspired by" is better, but that happens all the time.
They have copycat versions on amazon very similar
WORST GARMENT PURCHASE I'VE EVER MADE. I bought the hoodie in 3X and the body fits fine. But the arms 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.
It looks good, but I dont really like the beak on the hoodie, that's what is keeping me away from buying one .. other than that they look nice ...
Fair enough! The hoodie has a very specific look that’s not for everyone
Yes it a waste of money you can get a better one cheaper
Despite all of the corny advertising...this thing is awesome .
absolutely
... awesome? Not so Mgoblue. It's an impractical pain-in-the-arse. I was TWATTY enough to be duped by the corny advertising and have lived (uncomfortably) to VERY MUCH regret being such a TWAT!
This hoodie is a knock off of Triple Aught Design's ranger hoodie. I've had my hoodie for 5+ years
If you like triple aught design, aka TAD gear, i recommend checking out prometheus design werx
I definitely need to check out those brands. They have been on my radar for a while!
I’ve only used Tad Gear Ranger hoodies for 15+ years. Use to live in sf.
hoped for better. The fleece is NOT warm at all...Not worth $99. If there is wind and under 60 degrees....it's totally useless except for indoor use. Maybe I can keep all my crayons in those pockets LoL Its a scam people - save your money and buy a proper brand --> this isn't worth more that $25-30, let alone $299 or $99. 80% of the profits goes to google search ads and junk reviews like this or click farms
In my experience, the fleece is very warm. My friend bought one and had the same experience, so I don't know where that criticism comes from.
C’mon give me a break…. The fleece is so thin, and it’s not high tech like other brands that have tech fleece. It’s like a decade ago fleece. I usually don’t bother with reviews but this one is so bogus and I feel like so cheated (own fault for falling for scam ads) select worst reviews….those are the true ones - all others are from a click farm or bot or paid like this one
@@Biketech4us I don't know what you got, but all the ones I've seen have had great fleece, and not thin.
@@Biketech4us I'm definitely not paid for this review. Did you see a paid ad disclaimer? No, you didn't. Because they didn't pay me.
I wouldnt buy this crap just because they try n make ya believe the retail on it is a rediculous $300 but is infinitely on sale for like $99 bucks.. thats shady ... next
Paid $120 for the Hoodie and received by mail in 2 weeks. Not impressed with quality.
Dang. Sorry to hear that. That wasn’t my experience.
Comon Man, $100 for a hoodie, Nah...
You get what you pay for.
These good reviews have to be fake. This is naybe a 35 dollar hacket and mibe didnt gave all the pockets it seemed cheaply made and notcworth the ridiculous price
I honestly don’t understand some of the criticism. I have had a few comments that talk about poor quality, but I haven’t seen it. And I have seen a few from different people.
Not at all... the stitching is absolutely terrible and falling apart after 2 washes and 5 months of use... waste of money
Edit: yes the design is great but the build quality has much to be worked on... not sure why the stitching is so bad... maybe they aren't to worried about it coming apart before a year's worth of use is up... it was awesome brand new but after some use its just crap...also the velcro for the wrist adjustments stops working when the velcro securing patches fall off
Sorry to hear that
Great commercial
Do you think pointing out pros and cons and giving an opinion is a commercial?
@@BeastMadeReviews when it's scripted, yes
@@1776orbust LOL you think all my reviews are scripted?
Thanks for the review been looking at this for a while might pull the trigger and purchase one
Don't send them your money.
I bought one. Worst garment I had ever seen/worn. Gave it away. Piece of crap.
interesting. My experience was very different.
My experience is IDENTICAL!
Looks to be too short in the body.
no definitely not. I find it to be the perfect length
This video is basically a paid advertisement. Not real testing. Everything that was paid for was amazing and GREAT.
Lame lame lame “review” that sucks up to the vendor.
Not a paid advertisement at all. If it was, I would say that in the video. You realize, that people have opinions, right? And that those opinions are positive sometimes? And that people express those positive opinions? If it was paid, they really got shafted on a video a year late.
nothing special, but way to long vlog about nothing special😢
I disagree. Thanks for watching
