It's been very cold of late so I've had a chance to wear this coat and really put it through its paces.Pros:This coat/jacket just smacks of quality once you start to really examine it. You can see where the money went.1. Although it doesn't look it, this coat is heavier in weight than any other bulkier winter jacket I own. It's remarkably warm. Not sure I'd wear this in a full blizzard or rain storm as the jacket is not body length, but on dry icy days/nights, I'd wear this coat even if I wasn't conceal carrying.2. Nice functional styling that looks good without attracting too much attention. Completely blends in with other seasonal clothing. Leaves no impression that this is anything other than just another nice coat.3. Lots of handy pockets in various areas for utility knives, flash lights, extra mags, cell phones, etc.. Some of these pockets also come with internal loops for added retention capabilities. What's really good about it is that the material used in the interior of the pockets are not flimsy linen like other jackets, but very tough denim. I would expect these pockets to last much longer if you use them for storage of hard or sharp items.3. The side/rear skirt of the jacket has a small slit with a button down. I thought this was a very nice touch. Didn't even notice it until I had to reach around to grab my wallet. Instead of having to lift the coat skirt over my back pocket like I normally have to do, I just pop open the button and I can pull my wallet out without having to lift the skirt (and potentially exposing a holster).4. The hood is also just as heavy as the rest of the coat and doesn't easily blow off your head under mild wind. Very warm as well. It would have been nice if the hood was detachable, but it's not a big deal for me.5. Front pockets do what they are advertised to do. Easy and quick access to my firearm. I normally right-hand, appendix carry anyway so this is perfect for me. Side pockets are roomy enough for storage of keys and gloves if desired.Negatives:There are very few negatives, but I as much as I love this coat, I just can't give it a full 5 stars as there are some things I wish could have been better.1. The buttons used in the front flaps for securing the corners and also the back skirts are small. It doesn't take a lot of force or effort to detach them. I understand it's a balance you have to make, especially for the front flaps where you need to quickly flip open, but it would have been nice if these buttons were a little bit more secure. The flaps are held in place primarily with velcro, which is necessary I suppose, but I've found that velcro doesn't last as long under heavy, repeated use. I can see the velcro wearing out if you practice weapons draw often (which you should if you conceal carry). A more secure button system to "back up" the velcro would have been nice. I guess time will tell on this one.2. The cuffs are adjustable with velcro as well. I've never liked velcro cuffs and as I find I have to adjust them all the time. Might be a good idea to have the scrap sewn in place once you've made the adjustment for your particular wrists.3. Using the Adder system was a little confusing. I had difficulty finding a good retention system to keep the gun from jostling around in the pocket. Wasn't sure what I had to do to secure a weapon onto it. I see a lot of folks attach kydex holsters using velcro, but once again, I'm not a big fan of velcro. I finally settled on a cheap Blackhawk ARC for both my Ruger SR9c and M&P Shield. Normally, these are NOT my favorite IWB holsters, but they are very inexpensive, have cloth friendly surfaces, less bulky than some of the molle options, and are easy to modify. Basically, just what I was looking for and not a very big investment should I find a better method to secure the gun in the pocket. I simply reduced the width of the plastic belt clip using sand paper until it was narrow enough to insert into one of the pocket loops. Although I'll probably see if I can find a better clip at a later point, the holster is securely held in place now (see pic).Overall, I am very happy with this purchase and think it was well worth the money I spent, which is not often these days.I wanted a coat that would provide warmth, comfort, flex, and resist the bitter winds that blow down the eastern slopes of the Rockies. This is what I ended up getting. Duck coats are a great way to cut wind. This one fit my 6'3" frame length wise and is a little snug around my 38" waist. The hood fits my 7 ⅞ head comfortably. The worn brown color is a great choice for me as the standard tan or black duck coats are so common in my town that I would likely misplace it and it would be gone forever.Now to the moment you've been waiting for. The pocket system is brilliant. It has standard slit pockets to just slip my hands into when the Chinook winds are biting into my knuckles. The snap pocket in front is big enough to fit my Samsung Tab A tablet, and the snap is solid and sturdy. Haven't had any issues with it. The stash pocket that secures with velcro is awesome in size. My only issue with it is the molle system is elastic. That makes it strange to mount a holster to. It does work though and the little bit of stretch allows the firearm to shift a bit as you move. This makes it less obtrusive to your lifestyle. Quite genius. The likelihood that it will prevent someone else from noticing is markedly small, but putting a pair of gloves in the snap pocket combined with the little flex will likely ward off suspicion. At least, until they research Berne coats and know that this offering exists.This is quality at its best! Triple stitching and zippers lay flat. Metal zipper with pulls! This jacket is made for work, but clearly will work for all around wearing as well. This is a good looking jacket. The jacket is durable and versatile. The hood and flannel lining is so comfortable, not to mention WARM! This jacket is made for COLD weather. Not for mild conditions and or indoor use. Unless you work in a meat locker. SO many pockets for any thing imaginable. The concealed carry pockets are fully functional and will accommodate large frame pistols. Molle modular design makes for easy adaptation for many holsters that are readily available. I did purchase the One Tigris holster as recommended. Carries a .45 ACP very well. Not that I would carry that on a daily basis, but can if needed. The pockets have backup snaps along with velcro. The flap cannot be pulled down to where a weapon would come out. Numerous other pockets for cell phone, magazines, keys and wallet. The quick elastic draw in the hood is not my favorite. I would rather have a shoe string draw cord. Im sure it could be modified as well. Overall this jacket is a VERY good buy at this price. For fit, the shoulder gussets, expandable waist snaps and velcro straps on the wrists allow for extra comfort and fit. The canvas type material on the shell meets and exceeds my other "name brand" jackets. The jacket is machine washable, and will shrink some, but very little, as there is some cotton material.Es una chamarra batante pesada pero de un material de calidad, fue un regalo para mi papá, le agradó bastante, el color negro está bien, es tal y como se muestra en la imagen, para hombres de montaña jajaHigh quality materials.
