Review for model:

Size: M

I’ve been using this jacket for almost 3 years, including 2.5 years in Ireland, where it often rains heavily, and it has performed excellently. It has a very good cut — it’s shorter than SMOCK-type models, which makes it look good and allows you to slip your hands comfortably into your trouser pockets as well. The sleeves are a bit longer, which is a big advantage because with the stiffer material they don’t expose your wrists when you bend your arms. The breathability is comparable to original Gore-Tex. In terms of breathability and waterproofness, it performs decidedly better than issue jackets from the Ministry of National Defence and the Border Guard, and I’ve had the chance to test them all. The pockets are laid out very practically, and the zips are solidly made. However, I see two downsides: first, the version matching Multicam camouflage is clearly too light, which can be seen in the attached photo; second, with such a refined cut and an excellent membrane, it lacks the option to stow the hood in the collar. Fortunately, a seamstress fixed that issue for me. At 78 kg and 180 cm tall, I wear size M and it fits perfectly — a T-shirt, sweatshirt and thick fleece all fit underneath without any problem. If you find it on sale for less than 500 PLN, it’ll be hard to find anything better, and the most important thing is that it doesn’t soak through even during several hours of heavy rain.

Size: L

I ordered the jacket in L with a chest measurement of 105cm. It fits perfectly, the arm length is also great. I also had the fleece in XL, one size larger than the jacket. A review for that will follow as well. Although the fleece is one size bigger than the jacket, it fits in very well. Both together felt very warm, although it's currently 27 degrees room temperature.

Nothing to say, this jacket is perfect. I love the colour, size M fits me perfectly, it protects well from the rain, and the option to remove the hood if you wish is brilliant. I recommend it.

A few days ago I bought this jacket together with a fleece. Today we went to the seaside, it was -10 degrees and the wind was about 5 km/h. I had another fleece and a T-shirt underneath, and yet I still felt cold. I wanted to get back to the car as quickly as possible. I relied on the product description when buying, but I felt great discomfort. I've had better experiences with cheaper jackets. At -20 degrees, I'd be afraid to wear it.

I'm not sure whether the waterproof rating is really 5000, but the quick drying deserves praise. Nevertheless, for this price I would rather not recommend it. The jacket protects well against the wind, but it rather resembles a "life vest" and unfortunately feels cold.

Very technical jacket, waterproof, effectively protects against the wind, very well made. It is worth wearing a fleece or base layer underneath. The sizing is accurate. I recommend!

A very good quality jacket, it protects perfectly from water and wind. Excellent when paired with the Texar Aventor fleece. It rustles a little. Definitely worth it. I recommend!

I recommend it to everyone – the jacket matches the description, is light, practical, and very comfortable to wear. The waterproofing and breathable membrane work flawlessly, and the camouflage is great. I recommend it to everyone.

Great jacket, looks similar to resort models made from ceratex. Much better materials were used than in classic resort cerstex. Mind the size – I had to swap L for XL myself.

I bought this jacket on sale and I am satisfied with it so far. It's comfortable and has a lot of pockets. I haven't tested it in the rain yet, only in the wind, and it protected well. The camouflage pattern is very nice. I recommend it.

Good evening! I bought this model of jacket twice – first I chose the wrong size, despite checking opinions and measurement recommendations. I am 190 cm tall, have a chest of 116 cm and weigh 101 kg – 3XL was too small, especially with an extra layer underneath. Only 4XL turned out to be right – then the jacket is comfortable and doesn't restrict movement. I chose the Camo PL version, although I usually prefer olive; however, the camouflage works great in the woods. If you want a quick size exchange, it’s better to return the product and order a new one – an exchange can take up to two weeks. The jacket doesn't resemble a typical raincoat made from cellophane; the material is pleasant and durable. I made a good choice! I recommend both the shop and the Texar Conger jacket! Kind regards!

This is my second opinion, I hope this one will be accepted. The jacket is solid and has good ventilation – important for such strong clothing. The colour could be a bit darker, but that's a matter of taste. You can go through bushes without worry, because the jacket won’t get damaged. The sizing on the shop says 140 cm chest, but the label says 130 cm – that's a discrepancy. If you don't have problems with the size, I definitely recommend it.

Combined with a Husky fleece, the jacket is good even on cold days. The sizing is unusual – you need to order a size up. At first, it's a bit stiff, but with time it becomes more comfortable.

Well-sewn jacket, fully resistant to water and wind. The hood is actually quite roomy, but thanks to the drawstrings you can adjust it perfectly and appreciate it during a downpour. The jacket is a bit stiff, reminiscent of a tarpaulin or oilcloth – a compromise for waterproofing. The material is pleasant, similar to cotton. Minimal rustling, doesn’t attract attention. Perfect for rain and wind, regardless of the weather. However, not suitable for winter as it doesn’t have insulation. I bought the dedicated fleece, but it was too tight in the chest so I returned it. I recommend it for all seasons except winter.

Great jacket, this is the third time I am buying the same one. It protects perfectly from the rain, is durable and warm thanks to the fleece. The previous jackets are still in excellent condition – a really sturdy product! Highly recommended.
