1000D CORDURA US Army Tactical Jacket Military Waterproof Windproof Hard Shell Jackets

It took me a long time to pull the trigger on this because I was worried the quality would be poor compared to the Kitanica MK I. I did not care that it was half price, I would have shelled out the money for the Kitanica if I liked it more. I think this one is considerably better, and yes it's half the price, no brainer!• No branding; Kitanica branding is pretty ugly• This grey version has grey matching buckles; the Kitanica Grey has black buckles which does not look good• Extra Molle loops and a pocket on the left arm• Half the price, there is no noticeable quality difference, it's 1000D versus 1000D, stitching looks fantastic on this.I am really tough to fit clothes (5'6" 175, 43 shoulders, 32 waist). I was hoping the small would fit so the arms wouldn't be long and ordered that but no way, the small would not fit (nylon does not stretch over time, how it fits is how it fits). Had to return the small and got the medium. It fits fantastic, the arms are a little long for me but that's normal for my height/size. That's the only con as well as cordura being a bit noisy when you're moving, but all cordura shells are noisy.

Product is stiff. Good, thick, high quality material, but you need to wear it in. I washed it and wore it to dry a couple times to get it shoulder shaped right if you’re not super broad shouldered(would fit a grunt no problem (I’m a civilian female)It’s like wearing-in a leather jacket. Takes time to break in but good for light airsoft protection and daily wear(for tacticool folks) Would buy again, but such good quality probably won’t have to for a very long time.

5’8” 215 lbs and the medium fits like a glove. The jacket is amazing and feels great. The only thing I am disappointed by is there is a zipper for a zip in liner but apparently no liner is available.

Very cool. Extremely durable and well made for a Chinese knock off. I bought a medium, I’m 6’0, 165 lbs, athletically built and it fits nicely. I even had room to wear a thick fleece under it.Works well in the wind but not quite “windPROOF” and the waterPROOFing is not quite correct because it still absorbs water after a while. That said, it is very wind and water RESISTANT. Important distinction to be made there. The resistance to wind and water is great but it is not quite wind and water proof. The 1000D cordura is awesome material but not the same as what a true wind/water proof jacket is made of. MUCH more durable though than what those jacket’s shells are made of (typically).Quality control gripe: mine came with one side of the waist adjustment strap torn off but not a deal breaker, I just looped it into the plastic piece and zip tied it. This where that whole Chinese knock off part shows.Personal taste related gripe: the buckles that go all the way up the front are kinda weird and unnecessary. Still not sure why those are there or what intended function they are supposed to have.Price gripe: I wish I took a picture of this but I didn’t and it’s too late due to trash pickup, but I paid $270 USD for multicam. The receipt/customs form from China had it listed as valued at $80 USD.... c’mon now. At least try to hide that. The fact that Zapt hiked the price by over 300% is dirty but expected, they are a business afterall. BUT, don’t rub it in. Insult to injury man.All things considered, I’m satisfied enough to give it 4 stars, would have been 5 if not for that torn strap and blatant price gouging. Plus a little product exaggeration.

You will never see many jackets that look like this. I got a large and it’s well made and fit good. You can personalize the jacket even more by adding patches and extra Molly pouches making it a 1 of 1. Good inside pockets for traveling. Keeps your passport wallet and phone safe from wandering hands.

I highly recommend it. It’s perfect for what I do. I’m a security professional and it fits perfectly under my plate carrier but doesn’t cover my duty belt, viz., my gun and mags. It doesn’t affect my draw whatsoever, and is durable enough to protect me from the elements. It comes slightly larger than sized (large) so be aware. I washed and dried it to get a better fit myself, which fixed the problem for me. I’m trying to find a warm liner for it for the colder days, but its size allows to wear layers underneath. I only wished the soft velcros on the arms were standard sizes to fit flag patches. It’s otherwise awesome overall. Highly recommend!!!!

So I have the original USA made jacket after witch this one is made and I have to say holy damn this is 1 great replica , great fit , awesome build quality , the material is hardcore wear resistant, the only difference I see is that this one Is a bit more stiff then the original and it has 1 extra mole and a pocket on the left arm . I am impressed

I had no doubt the jacket would be awesome, but based on the other reviews, I was concerned about what size to order. A lot of reviews say the jacket runs large. I like extra room, but didn't want it to feel like I was swimming in it. Large or medium? I contacted the seller, and was refreshingly surprised to receive my first response back (of several) within the hour! She went above and beyond in making sure the jacket was going to be the right size, leaving room for layers (including a tactical service vest and shoulder holster) and a bottom hem that would go at least 3 inches down below my waist belt line. I'm only 5'9", and 175 lbs, Chest 44.5", Waist 38", Sleeve 21.5", and Back 24" from collar to belt. Despite what other reviews kind of indicated for someone of my dimensions, The large actually fits perfect! Hope this helps for other folks trying to determine what size to get. Also...the shipping was fast! Ordered on Oct 31, and received it on Nov 4.
