    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.

    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.

    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.

    • @RedBranchBushcraft

      For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
      John 3:16-21
      16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
      Mark 1.15
      15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.

      The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
      Hebrews 11:6
      6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

    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.
