Size: S

I am very satisfied with this jacket. It is solidly made, has many pockets, and fits very well. Another advantage is its slightly looser cut, which makes it comfortable to dress in layers. The outer material has water-repellent properties, so it provides some protection against rain. An additional benefit is the fleece lining. I definitely recommend it!

The jacket's finishing is perfect, it's high quality, looks great, and the camouflage is incredible. The fabric is a bit noisy, even more so if worn loose. The size chart is accurate: I took size M, the chest width is 114 cm, sleeve length 63 cm, collar to bottom height is 72 cm, bottom width (hips) is 112 cm, and waist size is 106 cm. This isn't mentioned, which is a shame. The photos are misleading—the jacket looks shorter and straighter, while the waist is actually slightly accentuated. I chose M even though I always take S, because a review said the sizes were overestimated, so I went too big. S would have been perfect. Consider how you want to wear the jacket: fitted with just a t-shirt, or like me, with a size S BDU jacket underneath (see photo). In that case, go up a size compared to your BDU because the BDU's armholes are low. If you want to wear a sweater, take a bigger size; you can always tighten the waist. It also depends on your body shape—X, T, with a belly or very slim. I'm 1.75 m tall and weigh 58 kg, and S would have fit perfectly.

The jacket is exactly as described, next time I would choose a size smaller, but if you wear a sweatshirt underneath, it fits fine. The cut is a bit unusual, but again, for summer camouflage it's ok. The material is high quality and there are enough pockets. If you further waterproof it as I did, you definitely won't regret it during a heavier rain while fishing.

Great quality and value for money. The zippers and seams are well made and the jacket features many details like pockets and Velcro fasteners. Only the hood is a bit bothersome—even when it is carefully rolled up and stowed in the collar, it still presses a bit on the neck. Also to consider: The fabric is rather "noisy" when moving. I want to use the jacket for hunting, so I'll probably have to move more carefully. For reference, I'm 190cm/92kg and athletic. I ordered size L because I like a slimmer fit—it fits quite well, but might be a little short at the front, which doesn't bother me (for beer drinkers: a small belly would still fit).

Solid entry-level jacket in the softshell segment. Keeps you warm, is pleasantly flexible, and can easily be worn under a hardshell. The cut is a bit straighter than in more expensive models, which affects wearing comfort, but it's not a dealbreaker. Very suitable for occasional use and as a backup jacket.

Very good quality jacket with plenty of pockets, a hood that can be folded and stored, the camouflage is excellent, and it's a very good value for the price. I am 1.72 m tall and weigh 72 kg and size M fits me perfectly.

Yesterday I received a package containing pants and a softshell jacket in the same camouflage pattern. I have the same issue as with the pants – the unusual cut looks very unflattering on slim people. The jacket isn't as well-fitted, for example, as the Highlander Outdoor Odin Softshell that I have. The sleeves are too wide and the whole thing sticks out at the shoulder blades. Maybe it would work better if I wore a thick fleece sweatshirt underneath...

Excellent jacket, the Phantomleaf WASP I Z1B camouflage pattern looks really impressive. The jacket is perfect for autumn. It protects well against rain, although you can additionally waterproof it for even better protection.

The XL size jacket fits well for a height of 178 cm, leaving a bit of room, which was my intention so that it wouldn’t be too tight. When trying it on, I noticed the Velcro on the sleeves is placed too close together, making it impossible to tighten them more, so the sleeves are a bit loose, but my hands still fit in the pockets :) The only downside I noticed is the lack of a loop for hanging the jacket, so you have to place it on a hanger.

For a Mil Tec brand product, the jacket is quite good. For me, it's very warm – I wear it all winter over just a t-shirt, without a sweatshirt. Its water resistance is average – it tends to repel water, but gets soaked in heavy rain. The zippers work fine, though they sometimes get stuck. The biggest downside is the Velcro on the sleeves – they wore out quickly and after just a week they didn't hold well, so you can't fasten the sleeves tightly. It doesn't bother me, but it might for some. The jacket isn't very breathable, but it has zippers under the armpits for ventilation.

I have been using it for two days and I wear it almost everywhere. I wear it under a tactical sweatshirt with a stand-up collar, and even with temperatures close to zero, I feel comfortable – especially during movement. The cut, numerous pockets, and very good material make me feel great in it. The soft fleece lining inside makes the jacket pleasant to the touch. I recommend it.

The jacket is excellent: + very lightweight, provides a lot of warmth, the color is even better than in the photos, so far it protects well against rain - tested in light rain, the hood can be hidden - no loop to hang it on a hook - velcro straps - if you don't plan to attach a name tag or flag, it would be nice to have patches in the jacket's color to cover the panels, unfortunately, there are none.

I chose a larger size and now it's perfect – XXL is quite slim at the waist, but fits very well. I wore it on a camping trip; it may not be very warm, but it's solid. The camouflage is lighter than on the pants. When you get the right size, the jacket fits like a fleece and gives a very masculine look.

The bottom of the jacket has a somewhat strange fit, so you might consider buying a larger size. Other than that, it's really a great jacket – waterproof, warm, and with a cool feature for hiding the hood. It also has large pockets and underarm vents.

The jacket is great for autumn days. The fleece lining provides very good insulation. When it's 5 degrees outside, just wearing a T-shirt under the jacket is enough to feel warm. The stand-up collar might seem a bit stiff because of the hidden hood, but you can get used to it. The pockets are easily accessible. I recommend it.
