Awesome jacket for weather and rig shooting.

The jacket has plenty of pockets , features , ventilation options and adjustable features. plenty of space for carrying spare mags , or supplies in large back pocket as well as high chest pockets. The main zipper did miss-feed and break on me within the first month of regular use but that may be due to user error as opposed to manufacturing . Some stitching was below par and came undone very easily .

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!

Perfect for weather above freezing. Very nice jacket.

The Jacket definitely enhances the appearance of the product.  It does not get in the way. The Wind Shield still fits. You can get at the batteries in the back.  The buttons still work.  It does make for a snug fit  for the black cloth carry bag provided so  I use a regular camera bag to carry the field mic and all the accessories.

I love this jacket. I use it every time I ski under my Goretex shell. It is warm and lightweight. I live and ski Utah so it gets cold. I have used this skiing in terrible weather and have been warm and dry. It has a great breast pocket which is perfect for carrying my cell phone which I listen to music while skiing. The breast pocket allows the phone headphone wire to easily match my Goretex shell headphone outlet. This is the nicest under shell jacket I have ever owned and used. Highly recommended.

This jacket is awesome! I have hunted this Spring turkey season in temps ranging from 20 to 80f. The 20 degree days needed a good under armour base layer but was more than comfortable.  The warmer days needed only a cotton tee. Very good quality.  The sizing was a little small going by measurements.  I measured on the larger side of medium and a large fit perfect.

I ordered this jacket in small, and it seems to run true to size. I have a slim build and usually wear between xs and s; ordered a small after reading reviews, and it fits me comfortably loose.

The material the jacket is made of is extremely soft and smooth. Like lubed up bunny fur. It's incredible. There's a nice amount of fluff inside, too. I  bought another budget brand of packable down jacket because I wanted one with a hood, but this one is much better in quality.

I wore this jacket out in rainy, windy weather with a temperature in the high 30s, with a thin long sleeved top underneath, and felt fairly comfortable. I was cold in the wind, but the jacket was adequate when I stepped into a more sheltered spot.

The cobalt blue looks awesome. It's super bright and vibrant, and is represented well in the photos.

Overall, I'm really happy with this purchase, and would recommend this jacket.

My husband loves this jacket. We live in a rural area and have livestock to care for so he is outside working a lot. Perfect cold weather jacket for someone with outdoor work to do.

I'm very pleased with this jacket.

Based on other comments, I thought it might run small, but it fit perfectly (I wear a size 8). It's roomy enough to wear over several layers when it's cold, and does an excellent job at keeping the wind from cutting through. I especially like the hood on windy, cold days on the water.

It folds up small, so if you wear it on a cool morning but don't need it later, you can roll it up and tuck it away in your bag.

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.

Awesome jacket, fits comfortably, "armor" in the shoulders and elbows. Hopefully won't need to test it out, but I think it would perform well if I did. Would buy again.

This jacket is awesome! I've worn it on multiple occasions and love to take pictures in it.

Now, don't get me wrong... I love my leather riding jacket, but it's just too dang hot for the peak summer months. Because I have a heavier jacket, I opted for the Phoenix rather than one of the mixed-season JR products. The construction is as one would expect -  impeccable quality, heavy duty stiching and zippers, nice conveniences (like a sunglasses chest pocket and an ignition key hook). The CE rated armor is well placed in the shoulders and arms. The back armor is made of high density foam. Maybe I missed it in the product description, but I was pleasantly surprised to find a waterproof zip-out liner in the jacket. Hand pockets are adequate as are the adjustment points on the wrists, waist and arms. Mesh panels on the chest, back and upper arms allow for great air flow. The contact points are made of heavier material and should hold up in an incident. The jacket has loops and a back zipper to fully integrate it with the matching pants (NOTE: I have a review posted on these as well). I went Hi-Vis but there are many color options and sizes available. I ordered up a size and am OK with the fit but could just as easily have gone with my normal XL size. The Joe Rocket website has the actual chest and arm lengths if you want to know what a Medium equates to.

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.

Awesome jacket. Light weight with great snaps. I had a couple jackets like this from north face and Columbia that cost twice as much,  but the UA breaths beautifully. No sweat, especially if you are wearing a UA shirt under it.

In the colder season I threw a sweat shirt in under it and a skull cap and it was great against winter wind.

Best Jacket I have ever had and I have had Beta LT's in the past. Make sure to get finishing hydrophobic spray to re-finish it once a year or so. The hood is large and fits over a large bike helmet but can still be adjusted enough to use over a beanie. The only con I could see was that there are no pit zips, however the jacket breaths so well that I hardly miss them.

Love this jacket It's pretty rugged and the pads in the shoulders and elbows are awesome really feel like they'll protect me. And the jacket has very large pockets for carrying a concealed carry pistol. :) or a bunch of stuff you want to carry around with you. If there's one thing I know it's leather jackets and this one is very sturdy leather. Only down side is there's no way to add a spine protector, so I'll be buying a separate spine and chest protector.
