Tru-SpecMen's 24-7 Tactical Softshell Jacket

Tru-spec makes quality gear, and this is no exception.Only issue i found is the fit to be a bit odd for me.I’m 6’5” 260lbs muscular build with very broad shoulders and arms.In order to get a proper fit for my body type I must either purchase tall size garments or order XXL size which still leaves the length too short and makes the belly area too wide for me.....I wish they would offer it in a tall length like their other products!!!But I won’t deduct any point because of that!

I love this jacket!! Other reviews will tell you to forget this jacket but, I have to disagree. I really like the double zipper feature on the front hand pockets. If it's raining or snowing, I want to be able to keep as much water out of the pockets so, the zipper from the bottom will help with this. I like the Velcro patches on the arms; nice for placing morale patches or whatever you want with Velcro. The bicep pockets are nice as well; lots of room in them to store stuff. I usually keep a small flashlight in the left bicep pocket (Fenix LD22).I've not tried out the rear tube pocket yet but, I can see where extra gear could be stored there; it's a very large pocket. I could see myself potentially carrying a fleece cap or gloves in the back pocket because they would be readily available as well as out of the way. It's just nice to have options and to keep your front hand pockets empty to reduce bulk.I have never had a jacket with the side zippers and snaps for accessing my firearm but, it certainly does come in handy. I was at the range this weekend and had my full-sized Springfield XDM in a Blackhawk Serpa Holster and it was completely covered and concealed. Then, I unzipped the side zipper and let the jacket fall to the sides of the holster; I had complete access to the firearm and the jacket never got in the way.I can say that most of the reviewers previous to me were right about the jacket not being the warmest thing on the planet. It was about 30 degree at the range this past weekend and I knew it was cold out the entire time. It wasn't super cold but, another layer would have helped out. I also don't like the way the sleeves are; they are extra long. I'm kind of a stumpy guy and my arms are kind of short so, I'm probably not a perfect example. The sleeves are extra long for me and they were kind of tight but, I like that they are tight. The tighter sleeves allow me to move a little better without all of the bulky mess that I experience with fleece jackets and rain jackets.As far as sizing goes, I suggest you get one size larger than you usually wear. I'm a big guy and I usually wear a 4XL in Nike clothing. I usually wear a 3XL or 3XLT in Cabela's clothing. So, I was worried about sizing and called Tru-Spec. After talking to them, I decided on the 5XL and am glad I did. The shoulders and arms are tighter than I'm use to and the bigger size helps out a lot.

Great quality. Ladies… if you have larger hips, this one may not be for you. It fits everywhere else except it is tight at the bottom. Overall, I love it though.

I couldn't be happier with the product. I work at a resort in the security department and I'm out in all forms of weather. From what I've experienced so far with this jacket it's well made, durable, and best of all comfortable. I find it fits better than the similar Condor Phantom softshell I had originally tried on, its not as stiff, which enables a wider range of comfortable movement.

Bought a 4X, fits normal, no inside pockets, 2 front large pockets, rear and one pocket on each sleeve. Very happy with the quality and fit
