"Great jacket. The first one I got (hard scrabble slate grey)was a Large (I'm 6' 175lbs) found it was to tight when I wore a hoodie under it. So I emailed swapped it out for a X Large and the jacket fits great. Great customer service. Great jacket for wearing at the Ri k while watching the kid play hockey and of course great for outdoors in the bush! Highly recommended."
"Love the fit of this jacket. Wish the arm pocket was a bit bigger to accommodate a phone or gps. Even an elasticize opening pocket so there isn’t as much noise retrieving those devices. The chest pockets are roomy as are the lower side pockets. It’s slim enough to move well through thick bush yet accommodates layers underneath nice it gets cooler out. The solace pattern blends in well with poplar and birch but is pretty viable in the more woodland areas. Would definitely buy again."
"It took me weeks of researching, talking to other hunters and what they use to finally decide what I was buying. As you know, this type of gear isn’t cheap and I wanted something that would last but didn’t break the bank. Well, this gear was great. Not only did it keep me dry but it was much warmer than I expected. It was quiet, warm, repelled water and as far as I’m concerned in the budget. I ordered extra large and I’m 6’ 215 pounds. It fit perfectly over my clothes, which was merino wool and hunting pants."
"Sizing is a bit hard if your an thinner athletic build. I'm 5'11 160 lbs and the medium fits perfect with just a very light mid layer. But the large is too big unless I'm wearing a thick puffy. But overall a great layer to add to the rotation! Excited to get out and use it!"
"Great customer service. The size I initially ordered wasn't quite right. The team at Skre had the proper size shipped quickly and I was able to enjoy a great hunt with silent gear that resulted in closing on a mountain Mule deer. (6'1 and 210lb) XL fits just right to allow under layers if necessary."
"I bought this last season and I wore it into late season and it was great, added in some other skre layers and I was good until the end of November, this year on opening day I was able to walk up on to this bull elk to 20 yards and he didn’t hear me coming"
"Went grouse hunting with this jacket the other day. It was warm enought for the cold morning and I unzipped the underarms zippers to get some fresh air in when it was getting warmer later in the day."
"I really like the camo it fits and feels and looks amazing. But with opening day of rifle starting today and not having my complete set it was very disappointing. When I had placed the order it never showed the pants as being out of stock so I assumed I would have gotten everything at the same time and would have been all ready for opening day. 5 stars for look and feel but 2 stars for incomplete order."
"Jacket fits very well. Especially love the length of the arms and thumb holes that I can actually use. Found it to be very quiet but used some wax on the zippers to dampen the sound a bit. Also purchased pants and lightweight hoodie happy with them however went with a 34” thinking Iid need room for some long underwear should’ve went 32”. Thanks for the gear"
"Order everything one size up, pants included. Had to exchange the jacket for a 3xl. I usually wear 2xl. Lucky I can fit into the 40 waist, that actually fits more like a tight 38 waist. They over sold the pants, so I had to wait for over a month to get them. Really warm gear and squat proof pants."
