Reviews

Quiet and well made.

"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."

Great gear!!

"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"

Nicholas L. (5/5)

Jacket fits very well. Especially

"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"

Hunt review

"First hunt was great. Warm wind resistant and barb wire tough. Expected to poke a hole or two which I didn’t even after thinking I snagged them good. Vent sippers in the pants are the bees knees. Great gear"

Casey K. (5/5)

Quality and fit

"I now have the Hardscrabble pants, bibs and jacket. The quality is exceptional and they are very comfortable. I can wear a large or Xtra large jackets depending on the fit. I went with the XL for this jacket and it was the right choice, a large would have fit but it would have been snug. I'm 6'2" 215 Lbs."

Shaun (5/5)

Good quality product

"I usually wear an xl, but I purchased an xxl and it fits great with some room to layer underneth. The jacket seem to to be high quality, I haven't gotten a chance to use it in the field yet but I'm expecting to perform based on the quality."

Chris (5/5)

Very nice jacket

"Very nice jacket, paired it with the hardscrabble bibs and it makes an awesome layer. Sizing run small. Usually wears an XL in the other hunting brand but had to size up to 2XL for this to fit shoulders and arms. For reference 6'2 225lbs, size 36 pants."

Fred (4/5)

Hardscrabble Jacket

"Had to upsize from L to XL as I wanted to be able to layer the Sawtooth jacket underneath this jacket, but it was an easy process, and the larger size was perfect. I am 6’3” and 200lb, wear a large in the Sawtooth and an XL in the Hardscrabble"

Jarod O. (5/5)

Literal best cold weather jacket!

"I had gotten a a jacket like this for hunting a couple years back, I liked it so much I just bought one for work! It’s literally the thinnest, warmest jacket I ever owned! I could put a base layer on and pull this jacket on me at work, and I could stay comfortable in the windy, single digits! Absolutely LOVE the jacket!!!"

Kalin P. (5/5)

This was a warranty replacement

"This was a warranty replacement and just like they advertise "true lifetime warranty ". No hassles on getting it replaced. Great company and great products. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"

Q&A

When pairing a large ptarmigan puffy with a hardscrabble jacket should I size up to an XL or stay with a Large
That is a great question. Our gear is built as a layering system, meaning it is meant to be layered under and over. A lot of our customers will order both jackets in the same size, while others will upsize the Hardscrabble Jacket to fit over the top of the Ptarmigan while layering. If you prefer a little extra room I would recommend upsizing while if you are not to concerned about the extra space, you will be fine with ordering both Jackets in large.
I ordered the 2XL and found the jacket too large and then ordered the XL with a little too athletic of a cut for my taste. Any chance of a XL King or something in the future?
Sizing can sometimes be challenging. We will continue to improve on sizing.
On 8/15/22 an answer to a previous question stated that current Hardscrabble jackets did not have harness pass throughs, but that all future ones would. Do the ones currently being sold have a harness pass through? This is an important feature for me and would appreciate an update. Thank you.
Yes, the latest version had harness pass through.
Is the Hardscrabble jacket considered windproof?
Yes, it has a microfleece layer under it.
Could this be used with the 1/4 zip base layer and the 300 hoodie to stay warm in upstate ny in late november. Some days get down below 20
That is tough to answer, people regulate temps so differently. For most it should be enough, but other factors including wind chill and humidity may call for additional bundling such as the ptarmigan down jacket.
Can the hood be removed on these jackets
No the hoods are not removable.
Does it have a slit in the back for safety belt?
Currently the Hardscrabble Jackets in camo do not have slits in the back for harnesses. The new solid color jackets do have harness pass through. All Hardscrabble Jackets moving forward will have them as well.
