I hate when companies plaster their name on their products. A nice small embroidered name plate on the front top pocket woulda been great instead of their name plastered across the back.
this are made in china as well.....and I've had my chinese one since before their was a Baerskin company...so the chinese ones can't be a knock off of this.
Mine seems nice and waterproof so far, just in case I always have some NikWax waterproofer on had for treatment which I don’t mind. I’d never expect anything to be totally waterproof just forever, I’ve never seen anything that was except an old school rubber coat, but those are horrible….but yea it’s a really nice jacket I think.
Will you lay off on the jacket reviews! Are you trying to bankrupt me!! That said I am very happy with the Varusteleka Woolshell jacket. Awesome bit of kit and not bad in the rain.
I really wanted this jacket to be a great rain jacket. Far from it. The outside soaks up water like a sponge. Then it wicks up into the lining. After a time in the rain, the jacket ends up weighting an extra half pound. Takes a long time to dry out. The jacket is warm,and has a lot of pockets. Its not totally bad,just not a good rain jacket.
I have yet to see a review by anyone who has actually bought one of these jackets. They must've given these out to every outdoor review channel. These are a cheap Chinese made jacket prolly worth about $25 or $30.
Baerskin has reduced the price of all its products because buyers understand that a great rain jacket *needs* pit zips, which none of its jackets have. They are scrambling to offload everything before crashing.

It 100% not waterproof. I've tried and tested it..I'm pissed. Oh I'm Ex military 19years. So I know my gear. Don't buy..waste of money..stick to Goretex. Bearskin sucks.
First wear of my Baerskin softshell jacket, I can confirm that it is NOT waterproof, heavy rain this morning on the dog walk and it has leaked on shoulders and where sleeves bend on elbows....bit disappointed....😒
I was completely put off by their pathetic adverts, trying to make out the jacket is for real men. 'Don't be like Mary Poppins' they say, 'throw away that umbrella'. Okay, I'll keep my umbrella and be like Steed from The Avengers. Their adverts were written by a moron.
So whenever I see an affiliate link, I think you are getting paid to do this review and you won't actually give an honest review as every purchase with your affiliate link, you get money from Baerskin. I think the $180 is too much for this jacket (especially since it is made in China). I think I am going to search for another brand at a cheaper price. If I can't find one, i might buy this product.

Doesn't bother me, another company I work with called mascot are the opposite, I had to tell them to brand their gear fory videos
You coulda just plastered the video with there name. @@RedBranchBushcraft
@randyyeager could have
Their jackets are overpriced and overhyped 😢
Seems ok so far
"Straight outta the baaag" is my new Northern Irish catchphrase i will keep saying until i wear it out and everyone gets sick of it. Cheers 👍
Lololo
I'm sick of it already. Maybe try "It's really nice..." instead. Cheers 👍
@tylersweet5994 see because you're getting sick of it i'll keep saying it "straight outta the baaaaag"
@Gubalicious lol
I have a cheap Chinese knock off of this. complete with the matching lined trousers. 😁😁
are they any good?
@@RedBranchBushcraft Not bad to be honest. The trousers are very warm. About £40 for the set.
this are made in china as well.....and I've had my chinese one since before their was a Baerskin company...so the chinese ones can't be a knock off of this.
These used to be called swat gear , or la swat or something @@randyyeager
@@randyyeager difference is, mine was really cheap. 😁😁
Hey great review, but any chance we could get a link for the camo jacket you were wearing at the beginning?
Check the description for links to the vaursteleka thermal jacket

I’d never expect anything to be totally waterproof just forever, I’ve never seen anything that was except an old school rubber coat, but those are horrible….but yea it’s a really nice jacket I think.
Agreed , nothing is completely waterproof forever , there's pros and cons for every jacket
Looks like a nice jacket. Which jacket do you wear rain or shine for most of the year and in preference to everything else?
I'd have to say my hilltrek ventile smock
The garment sleeves look short, and id say,a bit sweaty! I’ll stick with my Montane jacket! Good review though!
its hard to beat a montane jacket i have two! used to have 4
@@RedBranchBushcraft they are great! Perfect for the Irish climate
@thedagda2509 they do work well
Will you lay off on the jacket reviews! Are you trying to bankrupt me!! That said I am very happy with the Varusteleka Woolshell jacket. Awesome bit of kit and not bad in the rain.
Lol, more to come, I'm going to have to start giving these away

I've yet to test it in heavy rain , mine still beads off , but I would class it as a full on rain jacket
@@robertprokopowicz8099 thanks for info
@RedBranchBushcraft: is it as warm or warmer as the hoodie 3.0?
Not as warm but it's still warm, but it's a different type of jacket
Depends on the layers
@ceedub619cameraman3 lol, not many jackets in this price range would
Possibly a silly question, but is the fleece part just aligning or can it be detached and worn on its own?
No it's part, I haveavideo out on Wednesday that might interest you
Money. Thanks! 👍 I look forward to seeing that video on Wednesday
@QuorkEx cool
Did you manage to check it out in the rain, i need something waterproof when walking the houndies 😁
It's been grand for me so far but it's not what I'd call a full waterproof, more for showers etc, look at something goretex for really good waterproof
@RedBranchBushcraft Ty 🙏
@jackie8292 no problem, check out my video called the truth about waterproofs
Is that the 3.0???
No this is the softshell, it's a water resistant jacket
@@RedBranchBushcraft gotcha....I'm up to speed now....wasn't aware of all the different products they have
They have a fair few different coats and trousers , I'll be testing some of their stuff over the next few months
I have yet to see a review by anyone who has actually bought one of these jackets.
They must've given these out to every outdoor review channel. These are a cheap Chinese made jacket prolly worth about $25 or $30.
It thinks there decent enough, 50 -70 worth
Exactly! 💯 Overpriced Chinese made. Not more than $50 to 60. Most % goes to marketing and large profit margin to owner.
Whære can I find independent - "Bær" tex - hydrostatic head test results..?
try contacting the company or have a look at the website

So far it's ok, I have a big head though , a wee bit more adjusting would be better

Ah man that's crap
Overpriced Chinese made jacket. Need I say more. At that price, should have paid Americans to make it.
@Joseph-eh4rs cheers buddy
spray down with water let's see how waterproof it is!!!!
Nice
I recently had mine on all day in rain while fishing it worked great for me not a bit wet.

How heavy was it ?
@@RedBranchBushcraft I was out for about 30 minutes of which 10 - 15 mins was heavy rain, the rest of the time average rain.
Stihl frosty.
Good Man Bud
No waterproof test??? What the hell man?
its in the title, first look?
Does your doctor know about your addiction?? 😅

Yes I got paid for this video , yes I still wear this jacket. Similar brand is helikon tech also try Varusteleka for surplus soft shell jackets
Letters on the back ruined it
Seems to be a common theme
