Fantastic jacket for law enforcement

Fantastic jacket for law enforcement. Light weight, embroider-able patches, and not too hot. Side zips are a must! True to size fit.

I bought this as my first riding jacket to sport on my new Kawasaki 650r. And let me tell you, I couldn't be more pleased. It was tough to spend the extra cheese on a nice jacket like this, but I can tell already its worth it. It is very nice leather and is breaking in nicely and it really is a sharp looking jacket. In fact, it's quite flattering. My first time wearing it in public, my female friends told me how it was very attractive (its sporty, but not douchey, ya know?) and at the bar later on, I even had random guys complementing me telling me they liked the jacket. The liner inside is nice as well. On cooler days, just the jacket and liner alone were enough to keep me warm, but on those really cold days (40 degrees or so) I would put on a thick fleece or a hoodie underneath and be good to go. The pockets are all perfect and the key pocket on the sleeve is very handy. The sizing is a size large like people say. I am 5'9" and about 160 pounds with an athletic body type and the small fits me perfectly - I have shorter legs and a longer torso, so even taller guys might be fine with it. Almost everything else I wear is a medium, and the small fits just like a medium. I feel safe in this thing too. Its some pretty thick stuff which really makes me feel protected, but at the same time I think it will be breathable in the summer. I think there are pockets for body armor on the back, but its not included. That is really the only downside. Buy this thing!

This is a very rugged and durable jacket, by an excellent name, Dickies.

It fits very well and is very comfortable. The fleece lining makes it suitable for those chilly days, without being stifling hot. The contrasting collar is a nice design touch. The button flap over the zipper assures warmth without the chill bleeding through around the zipper. Very nice touch.

You can't go wrong with this jacket.

This jacket was even better than I expected.  The quality is top notch.

The fit is a bit snug with the lining but I'm also a chunky guy.  I ordered a size larger than I usually wear and it fit perfect for me. I'm 5'6 200lbs and the jacket wasn't too long either.

The sleeves are long like other reviews have mentioned but hasn't bothered me.

The hood was exactly like a one in an original army issue M-65.

Over all I love this jacket , a new favorite. !

This is possibly the perfect tactical jacket.  The size and weight are perfect.  The zip-out hood is not some thin, one-layer thing.  It is the same weight and waterproof quality as the rest of the jacket.  I live in Idaho where it was in the 20's when the jacket arrived.  It provides the right amount of warmth and wind / weather resistance while allowing plenty of comfortable moving around room.  Front pockets are located high, in front of the ribs, rather than low and to the side as typical jackets.  Though different, this works well.  There are zippered, inside pockets on both sides, with a rubber opening on the right side pocket for ear buds from your phone, iPod, or hands-free communication device, etc.  Sleeve pockets and even a pocket on the small of the back are also featured.
My wife has an identical one, same size and color, and loves hers as well.  Each arm has velcro area available for morale patches.  I purchased the Hazard 4 US Flag Rubber 3D Velcro Morale Patch, Right Arm, Black/Grey from Amazon for my right shoulder.  "Don't Tread on Me" is on the left.
This is an excellent tactical jacket that I will wear and enjoy for a long time.

I'm law enforcement and I love them. The zipper is also great, they come on and off real fast. Not too heavy either, great boots overall.

Excellent jacket. Warm. Upsize if you want to layer. Construction seems very sound and fabric is tough. Zippers run bulletproof. Hood is easily large enough for warm headgear underneath. Fabric is stretchy in a good way so movement is easy. Can't say about long term wear and laundry but thumbs up all around for everything I can speak of. A great buy.

Ordered this to use as a duty jacket and it is exactly what I was hoping for, the fit is right at the waistline so as to not go over duty gear, and the construction is great quality. I was very pleased with this item and would certainly recommend it to others that are looking for a good light weight jacket for on or off duty. The only thing I wish it had that it did not would have been some velcro panels on the chest other than that I have no complaints.

Great cold weather jacket/vest!  Fits perfectly, snug, so hugs body keeping out drafts, and the padding keeps him warm. Plus, the clip is right on jacket, so it's a single step when getting him ready to go out. Finally, it's stylish and has reflective safety stripes. I am happy with this purchase.

I was looking for a different style of motorcycle jacket, and the Speed & Strength Call to Arms fits the bill. I wanted a jacket that I could wear with both my cruiser and street fighter, and not be your typical black leather jacket. The color is a sort of field-gray or gray-green, and there are tons of pockets to hold your wallet, keys, phone, paperwork, etc. The jacket is a good all-around jacket as well. It includes a Velcro-attached removable thermal liner and well-placed zipper vents that allow a large amount of air flow. It's obviously not a mesh jacket, but the vents do a good job at keeping you surprisingly cool in the summer. I wanted a jacket that was not covered in logos, and this one has two rather small S&S logos: a medium-sized patch on one arm and a small S&S logo patch on the back just below the neck. I haven't attempted it yet, but you could probably remove the patches by cutting the threading with a small razor blade or seam ripper and some patience.

My only two complaints about the jacket are the cut and the armor. It is a straight cut, and not tapered like most jackets. For those with larger mid-sections it might be fine, but for those with a more athletic build the wide straight waist will be a problem. When riding, it will billow up and likely not provide much torso protection if you did take a spill. I had to taper the waist myself by sewing in a couple of darts on the back of the jacket to add a taper. It's still a little loose in the middle, but at least it stays down now while riding. Also, the shoulder armor pockets sewn into the inner liner are too big and too loose due to the mesh material. This allows the shoulder armor to move around freely and slide to the back when riding. A few more minutes with the needle and thread fixed the problem though. The jacket includes back armor as well, which is a good feature. However, it's rather small and only covers the upper back. I removed the back armor altogether and just wear a separate armadillo-style back protector that protects the entire spine.

Overall I do like the jacket. The style is cool if you are looking for something different. It does have some dissappointing fit problems, but with some strategic "surgery" you can fix most of them.

This jacket rocks. I have gotten lots of compliments on it. Im a big guy and have a hard time getting good fits. I can have heavy gear on underneath and have plenty of room in the jacket. I can easily stay outside all day in the worst weather and be toasty warm in this jacket. FIVE STARS!

I've been delaying getting a mesh jacket for way too long.  I jumped the gun and got this Phoenix 5.0 (in solid light grey) after looking for a while for a quality jacket that wouldn't look out of place on a cruiser.  Quality is outstanding, the stuff it's made of doesn't feel like you're wearing plastic, it feels like textile, it's comfortable, looks good, is bright enough that you won't cook in the sun and be invisible in low light.  I am a size 46 in jacket (23" pit-to-pit, typically 21" shoulder to shoulder seam) and Large fits perfect.  I'm very happy with it, it changes your experience of riding in extreme heat with protection.

So YES, I highly recommend it.

This is jacket is exactly what I hoped it would be. Well made, feels 'substantial' without being bulky. It has high quality fabric, easy to use zippers and snaps, vented armpits, 6 large pockets, two of them zipped. I like the detachable hood that is on a large side, not that kind of flimsy "roll up and hide" style you often see.  Drawstrings tighten the jacket around the waist for a more fitted look, although it looks slim as is; same type of drawstrings are on the hood to make it fit around the face snugly. My favorite part is the collar that is tall, soft, warm and stylish... you definitely won't need turtlenecks or scarves. Size wise, I think it is a true M, but it has enough space to wear a sweatshirt if needed. I am rather tall (5'9"), and the sleeves fit just right; the overall length is just perfect, too, as it covers my bottom.

This is a perfect motorcycle jacket if you are a lady looking for something form fitting and styled similar to a casual Northface, EMS, or other athletic/outdoor jacket. The armor is well placed, but like some other reviews, the velco on the armor pockets inside are slightly annoying at times (I did not feel it while riding though). I love the hood and also love that it is removable if you want to take it off. I am 5'3", 140lbs and the medium fit me perfectly. I am so happy with this product.

My husband is 5'6' and about 165 lbs and this jacket in a medium fit perfectly.  The waist only comes down to the top of your jeans which is the fit he was looking for.  The coat is quite heavy but looks light.  It is totally lined with Sherpa and looks really good with casual and dress up clothes.  He loves it and has made it his number one coat for this winter and fall.  It is heavy enough to wear through both seasons.  It has a rubber patch on one arm and the tiny Hilfiger insignia on the front of the jacket.

This jacket (this is not a parka) was purchased to replace a cheap hunting jacket I outgrew.  While it will only be used for a brief period once a year, it is a critical piece of gear especially when the temperature dips to 15F or less.

Look/Fit
The color is spot on.  Very bright blaze orange, though it has not yet been through the wash.  I was able to avoid getting blood on it this year, but I don't count on it remaining that way(will update).  It seems to fit well, I purchased an XL which was able to fit over a hoodie and bibs.  I generally wear Large to XL, and am 5'11" at 225lbs.  If you're much bigger than me, you should probably skip this jacket.  The inner layer is a drab green zippered sweater type thing, and could be worn on it's own in mild temperatures, though there is no hood.  It attaches via elastic bands in the sleeves, and one on the collar.  The sleeves take a little maneuvering to line up perfectly when wearing layers underneath.

Design/Function
Firstly, the outer fabric is very quiet.  I don't recall ever feeling so stealthy wearing so much gear.  The zipper was fairly quiet, though as a different reveiewer stated, the zipper is quite small, and plastic...I am very leary of plastic zippers though it seems the norm for modern clothing.  So far, the zipper hasn't given me any issues but is a bit difficult to get started.  The buttons on the other hand could be better.  Some of them snap well, some come apart very easily.  I did not use the hood, as I had a face-mask and hat and sweatshirt hood, but will test it out the next time I use it.  Also, the waist does not ride up like my previous coat, which was my biggest gripe.  The sleeves have two buttons, the tightest one worked very well to fasten around my glove to keep the heat in, though I'd rather have an adjustable elastic system for ease of use with gloves.  There are no inner pockets, which is a big bummer, but there are nice zippered pockets on each breast, as well as buttoned pockets lower down.

Performance
This coat was very warm.  I did use both layers, and as I mentioned before I had other layers underneath.  It was anywhere from 30 down to 20F, and I was very comfortable in the torso region.

I will update as the coat is used more.
