Because of you I bought one from LAPG. Let me say I am EXTREMELY happy with the purchase. This jacket is great. It came with a FREE 5.11 hat, mug and free shipping. I also used a 5% off coupon code: LAPG so I saved a lot of money. The Fleece is great and I am actually wearing it right now. Very warm. Thanks for the helpful review!!!!! The only thing is I did not get a reflective vest with it which I didn't care about anyway.
Its a great jacket. I wear the inner fleece this time of year and then put it all together when it gets colder. I'm 5'7" 160lbs and wear a medium in all of their stuff. Not sure if you'd need a small or not.
@TheStig000 The versatility of the jacket is great. I've been wearing the fleece for several weeks since I got it and now that its snowing here I'm wearing the whole thing and love it.
@Smokin07ram Not a bad idea. Maybe I can try and make a supplement video in the next few days. I figured people would want to see it on to see how the pockets and such work and thought I'd try a little different direction.
Thanks for the comment. Its a great versatile jacket. Just took the inner fleece out of mine yesterday to start wearing as its warming up a bit now. Sounds like a great deal with LAPG.
Great piece of gear, it's worth its weight on gold, I've been in cold weather for an extended of time as well as the cold rain in Jan-March. I am always warm, the jacket is totally waterproof, windproof. No complaints what so ever,
I live in indiana. This would be a very helpful jacket. Because between the months of September up until about mid April, we could experience all four seasons in a single week.
Good review, but my preference is your well lit 1080 detailed table top views...You just don't get the same detail without your great closeups. I do like seeing the clothing on so you can see what the fit and cut is like. Perhaps a combination of both? Great work and thanks!
Looks good. I had a 5.11 4 in 1 Patrol jacket. It has a more traditional look but not nearly as comfortable or practical as a more moden design like this one for duty wear. For milder but still cool climates like mine(Vancouver) the Sabre jacket is very good too. Lots of features.
Awesome review. I picked up the 5.11 duty jacket on lapolicegear closeouts. This one is great because you get the removable fleece which I wish mine had.
Well im considering L since i think im slightly bigger than you hehe. I tried on one nice one from Canada Goose and L size was perfect. Could you also tell me how it fits on body? Is there place to wear other clothes under it(hoodie,etc.) or its suppose to be tight on body?
Hello there! I'm considering to buy one of these for quite some time now but I'm very much concerned about sizes.. I prefer to try jacket on before i buy one but since i don't trust size charts so much. I also think that american sizes are slightly different from european ones. Is the size chart for 5.11 trustworthy? Regards
@ALAPINO You should move to Modesto, CA and then you can stop by the 5.11 HQ and pick one up. Of course you likely won't need one in warm and sunny California.
well done snareman. i asked you the other day about the flextac pants. I'm trying to decide on the 4 in 1 patrol jacket and the 3 in 1. It can cold here low 20s to mid10's in the dead of winter I wanted a lean looking jacket but still warm. I wear 2-3 layers under the jacket in extremes. Also my waist is 38 but i'm tall 6,4 ( 210 ) so i was thinking xl in "tall" for size. What do you think? I have to place a full order to 5.11 in a week. Thanks.
Guten tag! Germany is my second favorite country after Italy (well, and I suppose the US). I suppose you could take the inner jacket out and use the shell as a lightweight jacket. It is waterproof.
Great review! Just what I was looking for prior to deciding whether buy it or not. Now it's definitely a "yes, I need this jacket!" You said you're 5.7 and it seems it fits like a glove on your person, what size is that? Since I'm 5.4 tall (or I should say "short" ;) ) I'm unsure if a medium size would be just right or too large... Thanks in advance
ty, i want to buy jacket but i am in europe and cant confugure what size is for me because is in inches on site.. i turned on cm but something is wrong :D but we are similar almost :) ty once again
@snareman95 Don't get me wrong I still liked the review and the presentation really adds to a lot...I like where you are going with it. In previous reviews I had to look at the close ups then check out the fit videos later (5.11 pants for instance). The detail your well lit closeups give a real sense of the item quality, detailing, utility, and overall function. Happy New year btw
@WatchTalkForums tactical flip flops for the ultimate in covert wear. When was the last time you suspected a guy in flip flops of being an air marshall????
I just got this jackets it's pretty awsome,the only problem I have with this jacket is that I can't wear my watch with it,because inner fleece wrists are tight!
SnareMan ya I wear garmin fenix 3 and the watch is already bulky as it is and the jackets inner fleece wrist just gets in the way but the jacket is as you described,it's awsome! thanks for the review man!
Hi I have a question.I'm from Germany and I'm really interested in this Jacket.But i don't know which size I need!i'm about 165cm tall.Which size would you recommend for me? Would be glad about an answer Greetings
I'm six foot and a hundred and sixty pounds, would you recommend the large or medium? I don't want it to be a tight uncomfortable fit with the sleeves being too short.
they have "tall" sizes which add 2 inches to the length of the sleeves and body, but not the chest width of course. You probably should get the large tall. medium tall might still be to short for you
@@jhuggz193 hey im actually 5.11 in height. Lol. And about 220 lbs. The reg large I think will be perfect right? Not to sure. If they come large like everything else large should be spot on. I ordered the XL long sleeve shirt and I was swimming in it. Lol
Thank you for taking the time to make a review video. Found it to be very informative.
Glad you liked it! :-)
great performance - I orderd this jacket and I its perfect.
Thanks alot, helps me very well,
greetings from Germany

This was a great video and well done. Very functional and well demonstrated. Always enjoy watching your vids.

This was a solid review in a practical environment that answered many of my questions. Thank you very much!

I wonder how many pockets the tactical flip-flops would have...
Oh, you should see them. its a staggering amount.
LMAO!
Great piece of gear, it's worth its weight on gold, I've been in cold weather for an extended of time as well as the cold rain in Jan-March. I am always warm, the jacket is totally waterproof, windproof. No complaints what so ever,
I don't know how the US vs Euro sizes work, but my sizes (medium) with them have been pretty accurate with all of their stuff.
Sorry for the delay in answering. The outside seems quite rugged. The hood is not insulated though.
I live in indiana. This would be a very helpful jacket. Because between the months of September up until about mid April, we could experience all four seasons in a single week.
Yup. Perfect for midwest winters

Thanks! Its probably hard to see in the vid. Its the dark navy. Sorry if I didn't mention it.
Another great review. I have to walk the dog in 10-20 degrees F. Will this jacket keep me warm for 45 minutes at these temperatures?
You're right. I knew I'd miss something! :-) Glad you like the jacket
Also, there should be a Pocket that runs the length of the back of the jacket. You can fit a whole duck in it
Awesome review. I picked up the 5.11 duty jacket on lapolicegear closeouts. This one is great because you get the removable fleece which I wish mine had.
Cheers! Figured as much, but wasn't too sure because the images on their website seem brighter than the jacket in the clip (tho I like it that way!).
It was made by Dick Wheeler, one of the instructors at Tactical Defense Institute where I've taken a bunch of classes.
@saltwaterking79 It was made by one of the instructors (Dick Wheeler) at TDI (Tactical Defense Institute.
Pregunto ...todavía existe este producto?...en 2024?
No sé.
I bet it would. Its pretty warm.
Great review. You said you are 5'7" in the video. Could you tell me what size your got? I am about 6'1" and not sure if I should get L or XL. Thanks!
Thanks! Glad you found it useful. Its a great jacket!
Well im considering L since i think im slightly bigger than you hehe. I tried on one nice one from Canada Goose and L size was perfect. Could you also tell me how it fits on body? Is there place to wear other clothes under it(hoodie,etc.) or its suppose to be tight on body?
awesome review man, can't wait for their tactical flip flops and tactical swim shorts for the summer LOL

Wow really good Review, thanks

Where can I get one , what web site
Here you go: amzn.to/3AkuTo3
What size did you buy??? I'm about 5'9 and I have no idea what size to buy.
Can I use the jacket for winter only? Is it water-resistant?
Thanks from GER/DEU
Great review! Just what I was looking for prior to deciding whether buy it or not.
Now it's definitely a "yes, I need this jacket!"

I bought a medium and it fits well. I'm 5'7" 160lbs
@ALAPINO You certainly have me beat temp wise. Where are you?
felicitaciones, amigo! una gran prenda ...de una gran marca...muy bien presentada! ...respeto y felicitaciones!
You're welcome. It is indeed a great jacket. Very versatile!
I just ordered the 5 in 1 2.0 L black. I assume this is the first gen?
Yup.
very cool jacket and very good....😃👍🧥
Thanks!
Very nice review of a well made jacket. Thanks for sharing. Thumbs up.
Thanks man. You made me buy it now. Next time can you zoom in to see the material of the jacket.
You're welcome! Sure, I will.
@@SnareMan thanks man for responding back, you made me subscribe to see more from you 👍😁
@@jenovaizquierdo Thanks! I try and provide "good customer service" on my vids.
@@SnareMan is a pleasure, thanks for responding back that is awesome man. 🤩🤤🤤🤤 I order my jacket and is coming Monday.
@@jenovaizquierdo Let me know how you like it!
@wolfarmy2525 Thanks! List price is $259.99.
Good review!! One question... Would you say that the size you ordered is the same size that you usually are wearing or was smaller or bigger?.
Thanks! yes, I always get a medium, which was the same I got in this.
Ah, danke! I guess I'll have to learn a little more before I head back to München. :-)
It's also a good looking jacket. I like it.
what kind of holster is that and where did you get it?
if the fleece is in vest mode you can put the sleeves on your legs, like leg warmers. :)
Great idea! :-)
Looks like a real good Jacket snareman...I'll check one out...thanks for the info...
Excellent review! Ill be picking this one up very soon!
Are you still wearing this jacket these days?
Not as much as I once was
@EnduringEagle Thanks! Glad you're enjoying them. :-)
Its not too tight. I'd say you could fit a sweatshirt under it. And, if you take the inner jacket out and just use the shell its quite roomy. :-)
this video helped me out,thanks man good review,btw nice piece!
Thanks!

What holster is that
Hi
I have a question.I'm from Germany and I'm really interested in this Jacket.But i don't know which size I need!i'm about 165cm tall.Which size would you recommend for me?
Would be glad about an answer
Greetings
Guten tag! I'm 172cm and wear a medium if that helps.
I'm six foot and a hundred and sixty pounds, would you recommend the large or medium? I don't want it to be a tight uncomfortable fit with the sleeves being too short.
Sorry for the delay . The only thing I'd wonder about is if it would be long enough. This jacket has a shorter cut compared to parkas.
they have "tall" sizes which add 2 inches to the length of the sleeves and body, but not the chest width of course.
You probably should get the large tall. medium tall might still be to short for you
@@jhuggz193 hey im actually 5.11 in height. Lol. And about 220 lbs. The reg large I think will be perfect right? Not to sure. If they come large like everything else large should be spot on. I ordered the XL long sleeve shirt and I was swimming in it. Lol
@@emtpete010 yeah I would think so. The medium tall I have is plenty big and maybe even to long. Being 220 a large regular should be good
@MrSkater243 Well, it is kind of a warmish coat. ;-)
What size is the jacket you’re wearing?
It's a Medium
Great review of a wonderful coat. 👍
and you wearing which size ?
great review.
01REDEYEDDEVIL thanks!
Would the shell be suitable in summer/spring times? Or would it be too hot?
Beta Concept Sorry for the long delay. I think it might be a bit heavy.
Its heavy. When you put on the coat, its thick like turnouts
i'm korean. what's the size??
I have no idea. I don't know how big you are
How Much ?
One for kids?
Great video
Thanks!
I'm 5-10 tall 165 lbs will a large be a good size? I heard it runs short and creeps up on the waist?
It sounds reasonable, but I can't say for sure. You might also check with 5.11.
Def get an xl
Thanks. I agree! Its a great jacket!
Thanks!!!!
Greetz from Italy
Good review
Thanks!
Thanks! Its a great jacket!
Great review!
@IsMe2012 I got a medium.

Did you check directly with 5.11?

covert flip flops are the best. You can wear them on the beach and no one will know you are carrying.
I picked one of these up at a thrift store for $10.
Great find!

Its dark navy.
