RefrigiWearInsulated Softshell Jacket, Waterproof Coat for Men, -20°F Comfort Rating

A few years ago, I was given this Refrigiwear as a gift: https://www.amazon.com/Refrigiwear-Waterproof-Insulated-ErgoForce-Reflective/dp/B00S5I4DJS/ref=pd_sbs_193_8?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B00S5I4DJS&pd_rd_r=516d1a69-1a6e-11e9-9afe-e19854ff74f0&pd_rd_w=NY2l4&pd_rd_wg=E5vPc&pf_rd_p=7d5d9c3c-5e01-44ac-97fd-261afd40b865&pf_rd_r=9Q7CX9TBB6FPEASKN2VQ&refRID=9Q7CX9TBB6FPEASKN2VQI have wanted a somewhat lighter weight jacket, and this model came up on a different sale after the holidays. Once again, I am very impressed with this manufacturer. I am somewhat thin with low body fat, so Midwestern winters really make me uncomfortably cold rather quickly. Thankfully, that won't be an issue as long as this company stays in business. This jacket is very warm, without being overly bulky and "poofy." It allows great mobility through the shoulders and elbows, has a drawstring at the bottom (just in case) and also has a subdued "shirt tail" that prevents the jacket from riding up and letting cold wind blow up the back. It really is all around fantastic, even at full price. I layer my clothing appropriately, so my only minor complaint with this model of jacket would be the inner diameter of the sleeves. With a very lightweight fleece sweater underneath, the forearm of the sleeve is just a tad tight. It isn't uncomfortable or especially restrictive, but it is noticeable.Though this is a working jacket, intended for use during strenuous activity, I just don't want to wear it for that purpose and ruin the look of the jacket. I fully intend to purchase another one of these so that I can work that much more easily, and still have a good looking jacket to go home in. Based on the build quality from this one, and my other heavier weight jacket, It would likely be very hard to damage at work.This is a great buy at regular price, so if you're on the fence I would recommend getting it.

The coat is good quality, no complaints there. I have some of their -60°F coveralls and their IronTough coats; they perform very well and are very warm. I received this one from my employer for Christmas; So, I wore it the other day in 20°F weather and it was ok, not warm, just ok. Outside temp of 40°F above comfort rating, you'd think it should have been warm. Maybe the ± prefix got turned around and is only +20°F coat? Yesterday, I wore it at 5°F and froze my bu** off! Maybe because I was not active; actually, just standing watching another person work on his frozen car - who knows. Anyway, I went back in and put on my Irontough coat and was warm again.

The fit & feel is very comfortable and will keep me warm on any winter day in north Texas. The weight of the jacket is much lighter and less bulky than others that I have and comfortable while making short driving trips. I know that I will enjoy this jacket very much.

I chose the light Blue jacket as shown in the photo. I got a very dark, almost Black, so I'm returning it. I have never seen such a huge difference between the photo & the product. It's really a shame because it's a great jacket.

I really like this jacket. I keeps me nice and warm at work. Although I have had an issue with the first wash and dry. The zipper melted and broke off up near the neck after I dried it. I can no longer zip it all the way up without the zipper separating. I’ve only had the jacket for a week and it already broke. Was looking to buy one of their hoodies. Not sure if I’m going to though if it has the same zipper issue.

The jacket, in general, is great and warm, although I don't know if -30 degree rating is accurate. The only complaint I have for this jacket is pool design at the collar section. I can't fold the collar down and there is no clear line (sew line) for the collar to bend, so it always stands up. Now the next problem when you zip up the next area goes straight up so it would hit your chin. It is not big enough to cover the chin and is not low enough to be under the chin, which causes your neck stiff after wearing it for 10 or 20 minutes. The only way to get around that is, don't zip all the way up. It loses two stars for that.

Great Product

A little bulky,but a good fit.
