I got this in this morning. The Condor micro fleece. OD Green of course;):D

Back a few months ago I took notice of these from a friend. I liked it but didn't bother to get one. Then I seen that nutnfancy had done a long over winded review of it this week:yawn:, which I appreciated because I got to see the jacket in detail. I then had to have it. I went through a buddy to get a hold of one. They were cheap to begin with.

Treat this as a show and tell, a review it isnt as I have not put it through any abuse yet;)


I wore it around this morning and the fit and feel is great, very breathable. Seems perfect for cool mornings and evenings. Time will tell how she holds up to my abuse of course.

As with everything that has stitching I peered through every seem to see the QC, and it seems on par. Note this is a CHINESE made product.

The sizes do run small. Normally I like a fitting jacket, not bulky so I usually end up with size L, however in this I needed an XL. Good thing I was warned before I got it.

Notice the reinforced panels at the shoulders, perfect for pack abuse.

The elbows and forearms are reinforced which is always good.

Both sleeves had velcro panels for your patches, here is a BCUSA patch I mounted with industrial velcro;)

The sleeve offers three options, out, out with thumb slot, and tucked in.

Good...show and tell. A very functional looking design; is the inside lined with a mesh? I’m a big proponent of the thumb slots…several cold flights, rides and walks in a cold and windy Afghanistan and you build a healthy respect for that design feature. Thanks for sharing!

you said you got it cheap... cheaper than what's posted? or the jacket itself is cheap to you???
 
oohh.. very nice.. i like that al ot...:thumbup: i'm a sucker for O.D. green gear..:D
 
I like the idea of thumb-slot cuffs, too, unfortunately I'm 6'4" and have arms like an orangutang... dang sleeves seldom seem quite long enough for me :(

Your not much taller than I am. an xl or xxl will fit you just fine I'm sure, unless your 300lbs or something then I would say your out of luck.
