I tried on the jacket after collecting it and returned it, immediately ordering a smaller size. I have the impression that the sizes are a bit larger than standard. The jacket itself feels solid, and the fleece lining also looks good. The weight is similar to the ECWSC USA gen.I (without lining), but this jacket is slightly longer. I liked it enough that I ordered a smaller size right away. I will keep trying until I find the right size ;-)

Second generation ECWCS waterproof jacket in woodland camouflage sewn from a three-layer laminate that provides effective protection against wind and water. At the same time, the fabric is vapor-permeable, which reduces the risk of overheating the body during activities requiring increased effort.
The outer layer of the jacket is made of 96% polyester with 3% elastane. A breathable polyurethane membrane is placed inside. Under the jacket there is a detachable, warm fleece lining. Thanks to the bolster, the jacket can be worn not only in autumn and spring, but also in winter. The winter character of the Wet Weather Jacket model is confirmed by a snow apron that prevents snow from getting under the jacket.
The model is equipped with seven pockets:
- two large hip pockets with waterproof zipper,
- two Velcro pockets on the sleeve with waterproof zipper,
- a large pocket with Velcro closure in the back lining,
- two side zippered pockets in the lining.
The jacket is fastened with a two-way YKK® zipper, which has been further secured with a double slat. Breathability and air exchange with the environment are supported by underarm vents, closed with zippers.
The high collar and hood effectively protect the head and neck from the cold and wind. The cuffs are fastened with velcro (Velcro), which allows you to adjust their size and fit the thickness of the user's wrist.All seams in the outer jacket are glued.

Camouflage Woodland
Woodland, also known as U.S. Woodland or M81, is a classic camouflage pattern introduced to the US Armed Forces in the early 1980s, based on the earlier ERDL camouflage. For over two decades, it remained the standard pattern used by the US military until the end of the first decade of the 21st century. It is characterized by large, irregular patches in shades of green, brown, beige, and black, which provide good camouflage and deformation properties, especially in wooded areas. Thanks to its effectiveness and global recognition, it has spawned numerous variations that have found their way into over 60 uniform formations around the world. The pattern has also had a huge impact on popular culture, shifting from military applications to everyday fashion.

The jacket has been sewn solidly and has no faults or imperfections. Even after removing the insulation, it remains warm. The camouflage works excellently. The jacket is practical, has many spacious pockets, a high collar and a hood with a peak. A nice feature is the option to unzip the sides under the arms for ventilation. I recommend measuring yourself carefully before buying and checking the jacket sizes.

The jacket is great, very comfortable and of solid quality. I ordered a set in size XL (jacket and trousers). It has a warm lining, a practical hood and a high stand-up collar that protects your neck well from the wind. My measurements are 190 cm tall, 120 cm chest, 113 kg in weight and 101 cm waist.

The jacket is very nice, keeps you warm and has a high collar and hood. You can see it is well made and doesn't resemble cheap products from China. I recommend paying attention to the sizing – the sizes are not precise, the clothes are larger than the description suggests. I assumed they would be smaller and ordered 3XL (I am 113 kg, 190 cm tall, waist 102 cm, chest 120 cm), but the jacket turned out to be much too loose, as if I had put on a sheet or a bag like the Groke from the Moomins. Now I have chosen XL. I had the same problem with the trousers from this series – for 3XL the waist was actually too big, and even after tightening the strings, there was still a lot of slack, so I also ordered XL. The clothes are well made and will be great for photographing animals.

Good morning, I have this jacket, it looks great, I recommend it. However, I think the sleeves and zip fastening could be designed differently, as the current version is not very comfortable for me, although some people might like it. Personally, I'm not a fan of this solution and I have my own idea for improving the fastening. Despite this, I recommend it.

The jacket disappointed me a bit – for this price, the quality of workmanship leaves much to be desired. Nevertheless, it looks nice and is practical (the detachable fleece liner gives different options, so theoretically you can wear it all year round).

It looks good, the cut provides some comfort, it's effective in the rain and warm, but it's more of an imitation than a real jacket – suitable only for careful city use. The quality is very poor. I wouldn't decide to take it outdoors. Breathability is unfortunately just in theory. I give two stars for quality and durability, and one additional star for versatility during business trips – when an outfit matching a blazer is needed, as well as after work.

Great jacket, I decided to buy it at full price as a birthday present. The person who received it says it's very comfortable, and the included fleece is a big plus as you don't need to look for a separate liner. After a trip outdoors, I also heard a funny comment: "...I didn't feel at all under the jacket that I was sweating...", which shows the material is very breathable. In summary, the jacket is still being tested, but everything indicates that it's really worth considering.

It looks very good. Unfortunately, according to the size chart, S should be suitable for a person with a height of 174 cm and a chest circumference of 102 cm, but it is too small. I am currently waiting for size M.
