Very comfortable and very warm. Wore it on a 3 day hunting trip. Went through heavy brush and was unscathed. Also wore it through some light rain(drizzle) kept me warm and dry.

I really like this jacket. Not highly recommended for hunting, it is just a tad noisier than I would recommend for stealth, but really nice. It’s good quality, fits well and the color/ pattern is a bit more muted than shown. I think they brightened the pattern up a bit for the pictures. I found it a nice tactical looking jacket and not cheesy at all. The zipper is on the left, but once you zip it a few times, you get used to it. I love the chest pocket because it fits my 8″ galaxy tab very nicely. Over all very pleased. I’m 5’10, 175 and bought the 3xl. It fits like an XL on me. I usually order m for a snug fit and large or XL for a baggier fit. It’s a bit larger than expected, I layer it with a hoodie so it’s ok but…if your not planning on layering, go one size lower than recommended.

Size? I normally wear a Large, ordered an XL which is their XXXL, as tagged. Compared it to a Woolrich Mountain Parka in L, and an Austrian issue Mountain Jacket (metric) sold as a Large. The Refire was slightly longer in the sleeve length, the drop tail on the Refire a bit longer by an inch. All three have raglan sweatshirt sleeve construction which eliminates a leak point at the shoulder. Overall the fit is close enough for the industry given their suggestions on interpreting sizing, and in an active field garment you do not want tight – you need to layer and have freedom of movement. It’s acceptable, given my experience with other military issue garmets, their cost and typically short field life.Camo pattern: This is meant to resemble Multicam without tripping legal sanctions. One, the search terms might call it up, but the description etc avoids the term. I leave it to others to parse the nuances of Intellectual Property law, I can state it is NOT an exact copy when compared to a labeled Multicam M65 I purchased from the Cav Store before the pattern was even issued stateside, and also compared it to an issued surplus combat shirt and pants I bought surplus – for ten cents on the dollar of Clothing Sales. US DOD issue “multicam” isn’t – it’s the submitted pattern Crye offered long ago without an black in it. Licensed Multicam has some black elements, and overall in my experience either MC or GI, known as Scorpion or OCP- has a pale green tone to the background colors. The fabric printed and used by Refire is closer to Coyote – tans – and as noted by some could even appear slightly rosy. The black elements are much darker, too, and side by side the contrast is much higher with Refire. On the other hand, worn, older MC fades considerably. Mine are no longer new, the black is fading and contrast is much lower. Laundering clothing and wearing it in the abrasive outdoors tends to fuzz up short white cotton fibers which is why all recommend turning the garment inside out to launder, something I wish I had done to the older all cotton BDU’s – after a few seasons they would turn grey green, and UCP went horribly blue very quickly. Refires high contrast may well last longer and resist degradation better – a soft shell isn’t worn year round, either.Fabric noise – there is some in all fabrics. For hunting you should check garments before purchase, I remember the vinyl Blaze Vests were real zippy with their psuedo molded canvas texture. Most of the original hunting camo clothes were in fleece for that reason, but performance and being able to shed burrs had their issues.Water repellancy? I have NEVER found a guaranteed “waterproof” garment. Ever. Goretex fails, I have had other softshell garments which finally transmitted water inside, and the construction of the material with membrane also keeps perspiration inside which can and will build up to the point of exceeding the exterior. Soft shells are not rated for extreme use, “HARD” shells do that job. And even GI gear eventually fails due to wear and tear. That doesn’t mean I won’t wear it in wet weather, but if it’s pouring down, a rain garment should go over it. Then you adjust for ventilating the perspiration out of it or – you get wet anyway. There are times when it’s just not worth the bother of adding a wet weather shell over 65F if hypothermia isn’t a risk.PS there are spray silicones, seam sealers, and other treatments to potentially improve performance,
