wantdoMen's Mountain Waterproof Ski Jacket Windproof Rain Jacket Winter Warm Hooded Coat

So i am an Avid Fisherman and i've always just layered clothing in the winter months. I'm in South Carolina so this review is based on my climate with isn't nearly as cold/snowy as other areas. Anyway, when I do fish in the winter months it is typically around 35 degrees or so when i go in the mornings. I would always just layer clothing but i have always bought top brand clothing (North Face, Patagonia, Mtn Hardwear, etc) so enough layers of those and you can stay warm and dry. So i am at the point where i can afford a NICE fishing coat and i was looking at the AFTCO Hydronaut. I read review after review and just before pulling the trigger on that $250 jacket i decided to read reviews on some of the other jackets out there. I actually found an article that listed the top 10 fishing jackets and this jacket was on the list ahead of the AFTCO. So i went on Amazon and checked it out. For the price difference and Amazons incredibly easy return system i decided what the heck, if it's a cheap jacket i'll return it easily and all is well and good. So this jacket arrives and i'm eager to check it out. Right out of the box i am skeptical but excited because this appears to be very nice. So i get it out and slap that bad boy on..... WhooooooooWeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!! Lemme tell ya, i've spent $300 on nice jackets and this bad boy felt like i just slipped into a Lamborghini (sp). I am not joking!! As you can see, it was slightly big on me but the adjustable draw strings helped with that. Plus, even though it looks a bit bulky on the outside it doesn't feel bulky on you. One of the biggest complaints i saw on here were the zippers and stitching. The zippers look to be of equal or better quality than i have on any other jacket. The stitching all looked fine. Most of all this thing just felt great!! I have worn it out skeet shooting in 40 degree weather and it was warm on me. I will say that i wouldn't trust it to stand in a downright downpour for hours on end but i do feel like it will keep you dry for a while. For this cost point, this jacket is WELL WORTH EVERY PENNY. Those negative reviewers either expect a $800 arctic coat or had a defect (that does happen). I am 5'11 and weigh 170 lbs. This is a large. Buy it, you'll be glad you did!!!

Fit size Large excellent, keeps you very warm And comfortable. Water proof like it says, like the thumb holes for hands. Price is very much worth.

Super warm! I got one for myself and then bought one for my husband. The red looks so good. It is exactly like the picture. He was perfectly fine outside in -15 degrees. He had to take it off in the car because he got too warm. Excellent coat.

Overall, this jacket did pretty well today on the ski slopes of Colorado. When we arrived, the temp was 5 degrees and when we left it was 13F and around mid day it was up to mid 20s with mixed clouds and occasional snow. We had wind gusting up to 20+ MPH so that really made it cold.GoodIt kept me warm most of the day without issue. I only had on a long sleeve shirt with a T shirt over it (no thermals or anything) and I was comfortable all day. It blocked the wind without any problem. The pockets and zippers all function well. It would be nice to have another chest pocket on the left breast but they are roomy enough to carry some snacks on the slopes for when you get hungry. The jacket also repelled water well. I really appreciated the hood as it helped block wind from the ears and trap heat in.The fit was good and comfortable and did not really restrict movement (I'm 5.8 and 170lbs for reference and I had a Medium size jacket).Needs improvementI woudl like to see a better way to make the hood stay up. The wind caught it several times and blew it off my head. The velcro that suppose to hold it in place would easily become unattached so the hood would fall back on my sholders. Now, I was wearing a head/face mask that covered my neck so this extra layer made it hard to keep the velcro fastener in place. The drawstrings on the hood was a little hard to operate to close the hood tighter.By the late afternooon, I did notice my core getting a little chilly, it wasn't too bad and not enough to keep me from hitting the lifts over and over but I did notice it. By this time, it was in the mid to low teens.Overall, the jacket did pretty well and I am pleased with the purchase. some minor improvements to the hood would make this a pretty nice jacket for the price.

A amazing find. Best 60$ I ever spent on a jacket. I was sweating in 20 degree weather and I was truly impressed at the quality for the low price. I stayed warm riding my ebike at 28mph during the winter.

Awesome! Size was perfect. Extremely warm and comfortable. Love it.

Fabulous jacket warm totally waterproof zips snaps and Velcro closes … great pockets … bought it for walking dog but wore it all winter as my best cold weather coat !

Nice. Giod quality. It really serves the purpose in keeping you warm.
