CondorMen's Pocket

First I like to say this is a review based on the 45 bucks I paid for a very well made jacket not for some competing overpriced 250 dollar fleece jacket. I can not begin to say enough about how nice of a tailored and thought out jacket this is for a mere 45 dollars and free shipping to boot! The jacket arrived from the shipper on the east coast all the way to me in 3 days! it actually arrived 1 day early than it was supposed to arrive. The color of the OD green jacket appears a bit darker in green or tone that the one pictured here which is fine with me. They do run a bit larger for their size than most jackets say 10% or 15% larger. I usually would wear say a large jacket and I am 5'8" 185lbs with broad shoulders and the medium fit me perfect. Not to big not to snug just absolutely perfect. Upon my initial look at the jacket it appears to be very well tailored and stitched. All the zippers work great and the cut and fit is very good. I really like the extra forearm and elbows nylon shell protection. The same protection runs along the shoulders to help shed rain. The rest of the fleece on the outside is a very very fine soft fleece yet stretchy and tough. Zippers are sturdy and smooth no hanging up. The inside of the jacket has a very fine black stretchy mesh fabric throughout. The jacket is very comfortable with no noticeable burs or rough spots of seams or lumpy seams. Very smooth and comfortable jacket. Honestly I can not see spending 250 or 200 dollars for a fleece jacket like Triple &$(*+_ and then crawl around on it in the field or out in a prone position outdoors. At 45 bucks if I am rough on this jacket and tear it or abuse it I dont feel bad. If your wondering if this is a cheap knock off of the more outrageous fleece jackets dont worry its a winner and a great value for the price or even twice the price. If you go to the shippers website you can actually see a chart of the measuring points on the jackets in inches so there is no question on the size you need to order and how it will fit. They were even nice enough to send me a nice window decal sticker "Dont Tread on me" which was rather nice. I hope this review helps those hanging on the fence if this is a good jacket or not. At this price I am ordering a Tan one too. I will try to post some photos as well so others can get a better look at the color of it.

Excellent to outstanding outer fleece. I’m 5’10” (used to be 5’11.5” thank you Marine Corps) and about 180 lbs. I’ve worn a lot of kit in 30 yrs with USMC in almost every conflict we have been privileged to be a part of since 1990. This is an outstanding piece of equipment especially if paired with Condor’s grid fleece. This is not a FROG garment, be advised. Price point, quality, functionality, and features are best in class. I wear a large T-shirt but have a larger chest than normal so have trouble finding things I can wear especially with under layers. This jacket fits fine as a large with room for layers underneath. If you are new to tactical clothing, don’t size yourself on the new “skinny fit scale” that seems to be the norm today for folks who don’t darken the gym door. Think: “what fit do I need to move, shoot (yes, get into some dynamic poses), and layer”. This jacket fits the mission profile. Good features. Extendable sleeves handy when you pile on layers. One drawback: made in China. Love Condor. Love their guys (talked at length at the 2020 SHOT Show.). Must figure out how to make your superior designs in, at least, Vietnam (used to do negotiations with the Vietnamese Joint Staff 2010 to 2011...good folks). I will seek out other Condor products in the future as they are combat oriented whereas 5.11 (love them) tend to be my go to for concealed carry...they are somewhat “contractor” and law enforcement oriented in my assessment but make good products. Condor is not Crye Precision (clothing) class but make a good, sturdy product you can train in with confidence, at least in this great jacket.

I was looking to replace my old ECWCS fleece that was beginning to show signs of age (holes in pockets, pilling on the exterior, etc) so I started looking for a suitable replacement. My research kept coming up with great reviews for the Condor Alpha fleece. The price was VERY reasonable so I ordered.My package arrived 2 business days after I ordered it - on Christmas eve. I am a bigger guy - 6ft and 240 lbs - but I didn't like the loose and bulky fit of my old fleece so I ordered an XL in black. The Condor is a very good fit for me, even with all the crap I have stuffed into the pockets - just snug enough to wear as a layer under a water/wind proof shell or heavier coat if needed. I like that the back side of the jacket is a little longer than the front so that it doesn't ride up and expose your back to the cold when you bend over. That being said, I would like it a bit longer all around so if you're tall, you might want to order one size larger. The sleeves are the perfect length for me and don't limit the ability to bend my arms when I use the thumb holes.Pros:- Warm. I wore this out of the box, for an hour long walk at dusk on Christmas eve with just a long sleeve t-shirt underneath. It kept me warm the whole time. The wind block on the zipper was very effective.The extended sleeves with thumb holes are a nice feature.- Seems well constructed. The fleece is very tight. Zippers don't seem to be super heavy duty but I haven't had any issues so far.- Pockets! There are 4 exterior pockets and two interior. I love the sleeve and chest pockets - perfect for a cell phone. Both of these have headphone passthroughs so you can carry your cell phone or radio in an interior pocket and route the wire(s) without getting tangled in them. The interior pockets are well designed so that stuff won't be falling out if you're moving around a lot. For daily use I carry my wallet, a bluetooth earpiece, a fleece watch cap and a glasses case with some micro "survival" gear and it all fits with no problems.Cons:- A little on the short side. As I said, if you're tall, you may want to order a size up for the lower torso and sleeve length.- No arm pit zippers. I loved the pit zippers on my old fleece but they did let the wind in on really cold days so this could be a positive feature as well. It would be nice to cool things down a bit when things start to heat up.I wear this every day and so far, I'm very happy with this fleece.

Super Fleecejacke. Hält warm und ist auch recht robust.Leider sind die Ärmel ein bisschen zu kurz so das man nicht ins Daumenloch kommt

It's a great jacket! Feels amazing to the skin, provides perfect amount of heat, does not block your movements. First ordered XL - was just a bit too big for me. Contacted the seller - they exchanged for size L and in Tan color without any problems! Great customer service! Really great! Gonna order much more stuff from them - I'm super happy with the store and all their products! Thanks guys!

September 2013 gekauft. Die Reisverschlüsse haben an manchen Stellen ihre Lackierung mittlerweile verloren. Bei der Brusttasche ging mir vor einem dreiviertel Jahr das Schiffche kaputt und die Bündchen der Ärmel haben auch Abnutzung Erscheinungen. 6 Jahre im fast ganz jährigen gebrauch und Sie taugt immer noch! Die Zip-Jacke ist einfach mega! Ich hab lange Arme und dennoch gehn die Ärmel bis zu dem Anfanh der mittleren Daumengelenke. Es weht kein Wind hindurch. Ich kauf mir diese Jacke wieder wenn die Zeit gekommen ist.

Great choice, great jacket. This is autumn jaccket not a winter jacket. The waist should be a bit looser (if you CCW, you will know what I mean), but even though it's great jacket. The OD green colour rocks. Plan to have the Black and Coyote Byas well. True to size. I'm 175cm, 83kg, chest 111cm and it fits perfect. Reliable seller. A+PS. The marksmanship is beautiful instead of the Helikon-Tex Patriot Heavyweight Fleece Jacket.

Exactly what I was looking for. Good fit and warm, even when windy.
