My mom came across this company because I was looking for a winter jacket. This review is all I needed to see. I went a step further and bought a Baerskin suit.
Straight to the point, an honest review. Thank you. Mine arrived today, I paid £149 for it. I can't wait to wear it. Thank you again for being so honest.
Hi. After these jackets have been washed or have got dirty, they need to be treated to maintain their waterproof qualities. I am sure you can find a tutorial on it, just search treating soft shell jacket. Thanks Brother 😁👌
Great review, I ordered one today . As a retired commercial fisherman, I’ve used every name product from the dirt cheap to big dollar brands and imo they were all the same , It will be interesting to see how it holds up. I live in Vancouver and we get a little rain every now and then . To be continued. Cheers 🇨🇦
Finally, a real review. No frills. No promotions. A legitimate consumer giving an honest review. I just purchased both of these just now. Except the 4.0 version of the hoodie and the waterproof jacket. Hopefully it arrives before winter is over
Hi bud. I cannot speak for the hoodie, but as far as the jackets are concerned, it seems to be good quality. Just remember it needs to be treated a few times a year to keep the waterproof properties. 😁👌
I've thought about getting a Baerskin soft shell or even a hoodie for some time now... just haven't pulled the trigger on a purchase just yet. Good stuff brother!
Hi Billy, thanks for the review. How do you find the fit compared to other brands? I'm XL in some and XXL in others. Do you feel it's tight or loose compared to what you'd normally wear? Thanks again.
Hi Billy, greetings from North Norfolk. Does your line ever snag the cuff fastener when you cast? I've experienced this on other jackets before. Great review by the way.
Did you have issues with deliver or anyone else on here? I have two jackets ordered since last month, I did get tracking info only through their site. Updates show out for delivery on 12/04/24, then delivered to front door on 12/08/24. We did not receive any package and the only tracking number they provided which is an international tracking shows created but not in the system for USPS and not on file through UPS and Fed-ex. I have informed delivery setup, and nothing shows delivered. Could anyone tell me which carrier delivered your jacket to your door? and it's been 1 day, still waiting for a response from Baerskin via email.
Hi Kevin. I cut that bit out 😁 but the back is longer than the front. It will cover you backside and keep the wind and the rain out. Thanks brother 😁👌🏻
Where are you from Scotland? Looks like a nice place to fish. Might try fishing in the rain. I have tried fishing in a cyclone. But this is another vibe.
What is the breathability of this? I'm considering it for search and rescue. It rains all the time here, and we get soaked, so waterproofing is important. However, we can end up hiking 10 miles in a day, so breathability is also important. How does this compare to goretex? I also plan on using it for fishing, but the primary thing I'm looking at is search and rescue.
Oh, well, I was expecting a crazy 250 - 350 price range. Sub 200, if its as good as you say, makes that a bargain. Not that I really need one in southern Europe but you poor buggers up there, seems like a steal to me!
Sorry, there's no way I'd consider spending that amount of money on something to go fishing in. You should see the absolute state of me after a session. Covered in mud, sand, lug guts, fish slime, you name it... You can make a crappy jacket waterproof with some silicon sealant and white spirit. Nice if you get sent stuff for free, you get addicted to it I guess
Obviously it's not for bait fishing! I only wear this jacket when I'm spinning. The purpose of clothes like this is, so you can move around and sweat without getting soaked! If the clothes aren't breathable, they are no good for moving around. Btw, nothing in this life is free! Videos take time and money to make. Also I don't care whether you buy one or not! Thanks Brother 👌
@@Billyfishing_watch You are right. You work bloody hard on your channel and should be better rewarded. I know it's not free, sorry. Also, bait fishing is the only true form of fishing😂
@marklloyd6433 thanks for getting back to me! No worries brother 👌 I don't know about the truest form of fishing! What is definitely the most effective. Thanks bud!
The last time I tried to skin a bear it put up one hell of a fight..😉😉😉 all jokes aside.. Billy I bought one of these jackets a while back and have to be honest it does what it says on the label.. Every waterproof jacket I have previously bought has let water in around the hood. And arm seems.. So far this jacket has not done this.and I have worn it in really heavy rain. On many occasions... I only hope that they start producing over trousers to match their jackets. If you use oilskin jackets and trousers you eventually end up wet by sweating your socks off. . Anyway brother as always keep yourself safe and well mate.
Arghh, I am a bear and behave empty-headed like a bear. I wear a “tactical” hoodie because I think I am a NAVY Seal. Arghh. Also, it’s spelled “Baer” now because it’s cool to misspell things. Arghh.
@Billyfishing_watch it's junk, a friend of mine was stupid enough to buy one. After a short period of regular use, the waterproof properties became significantly reduced.
@paulf2529 all of these jackets need to be treated with a spray a few times a year! Particularly after being washed. Or after they've got dirty or been worn for a long time! All of them! Some of them cast as much as 500 euros. Thanks Brother
@@Billyfishing_watch hi! wich spray do you need to put in and how often? From the other hand, my english is not perfect, can you explain to me the waterproofness of this jacket? can you stay in a heavy rain or just for an hour jaja sorry
@DanielRojas-qg6le in actual fact that is not a spray, the treatment is put into the washing machine with the garment, and it is applied that way. I do not know any product names of hand. But if you search how to street a soft shell jacket. I'm sure there will be plenty of products available!
Seems decent, but I avoid any product claiming to be TACTICAL!! I have no interest in buying into the childish pseudo-he-man nonsense of calling everything “Tactical!” Does this jacket have pit zips? I find those to be by far the most important feature in regulating temperature and preventing excess perspiration from turning the inside of a jacket sweaty and soggy. EDIT: I just looked more carefully at the product description on the manufacturer’s website and it does state it has pit zips. This looks like quite a decent jacket aside from the aforementioned, pseudo-military marketing, plus it also features a rather large and obnoxious product name across the back of the jacket.
How much did they pay Billy whatsyername, the jacket is cheap Chinese made guff. That’s why it’s advertised constantly and always 60% off. Don’t watch any more of this Irish snakes reviews.

Hi Mick. The stitching is good the zips are good! All you need to do is replenish the treatment a few times a year. Thanks Brother 😁👌

Thank you for the quick response, I will do a review after I get mine . Cheers 🇨🇦
Quick and to the point. You mentioned everything that was important. Kudos! Thanks!
Glad to help, thanks Brother 😁👌

Awesome review! Now I can purchase the coat my husband wants for Christmas knowing it's a Quality product. Thank you, Fisherman Bill & Happy Holidays!
@deborahbrandt5247 Hi, and thank you. There is a link in the description 👌
Jasus Billy great review a rain jacket that really works I need one for the next visit home to Ireland as we all know it's always lasing rain cheers
It sure does, thanks Brother 😁👌
Got 2 of their bearskin Hoodies and I am well happy with them, great product hope to invest in 1 of these before winter sets in to keep me dry.
Hi Paul. yeah got one myself. Don't think you can go wrong with this either. Thanks Brother 😁👌
How long did it take to ship? I've ordered a good amount of their products, it's been a month and it still hasn't shipped
@@hamboba6558 don't ask me, I don't work with them!
Just coming up to the time when we’ll be needing one. Thanks for the review Billy 🐟🇳🇴
Anytime Chris, glad you liked it😁👌
Been looking at one of those! Your review came at the right time. Cheers, will do me on the beach!
Can't go wrong Brother, thanks bud 😁👌
I've thought about getting a Baerskin soft shell or even a hoodie for some time now... just haven't pulled the trigger on a purchase just yet. Good stuff brother!
Hi Joe! It seems to be good quality, you can't go wrong. Thanks Brother 😁 👌
Looks good Billy! Nice honest review 👌 very tempted
Thanks Brother 😁👌
decent review. no nonsense. congrats! I like the jacket.
Thanks Brother 😁👌
Keep the old P.G. tips coming billy matey ,spot on from G.Y
Thanks Carl 😁👌
Hi Billy, thanks for the review. How do you find the fit compared to other brands? I'm XL in some and XXL in others. Do you feel it's tight or loose compared to what you'd normally wear? Thanks again.
Hi Bren. I'm an XL too. XL is XL, and the fit is good! Thanks Brother 😁👌
Great review there Billy. 👍👍
Thanks Graham, glad you liked it 😁👌
Fair and honest as always brother 👍🏼👍🏼🤘🏼
Much appreciated Brother 😁👌

Apologies brother. But they only sent me a jacket to do a review.
Same I ordered one on Black Friday and it hasn’t showed up
@@metalbill13 I'd be ok if mine was just delayed, but mine shows as delivered on their site. There is nothing here.
Awesome review👍🏻
Thanks Brother 😁👌
Nice to hear a non BS review.
Thanks Brother 😁👌
I've been considering one of these. Sounds great but from the video it looks a bit short. Could you do a twirl?😀
Hi Kevin. I cut that bit out 😁 but the back is longer than the front. It will cover you backside and keep the wind and the rain out. Thanks brother 😁👌🏻
Hi Billy, is the Jacket sized correctly. If Im an XL, will the XL fit or are they made made small, so I'd need to go to 2XL....Cheers
I am an XL, it fit's me fine! Not too tight not too loose.
Very useful review, will go and order one now.
You can't go wrong for the money brother 😁👌
Where are you from Scotland? Looks like a nice place to fish. Might try fishing in the rain. I have tried fishing in a cyclone. But this is another vibe.
Hi Remie. I am from Ireland, fishing in the rain is okay, just so long as it's not too cold!
Nice review Billy 👍 I’ll check them out , cheers
Thanks Brother 😁👌
How warm are these🤔????
Obviously if you are just wearing the jacket, not that one but! But anybody with sense, whereas of thermals underneath.
@@Billyfishing_watch maybe you should learn to spell properly!

Sorry, but I have no idea! Go onto their website maybe the specs are there. 👌
BILLY! Fashion tips now is it? 🥳
Who else 🤣
Thanks for the information Brother! 💧💧💧💧☁️
Anytime brother 😁👌
Looks good 👍
Thanks Daz! Much appreciated Brother 😁👌
Oh, well, I was expecting a crazy 250 - 350 price range. Sub 200, if its as good as you say, makes that a bargain. Not that I really need one in southern Europe but you poor buggers up there, seems like a steal to me!
Let's hope the temperature, is higher than the price 🤣 thanks Brother 😁👌
Great video
Thanks Brother 😁👌
Is it breathable fabric or a sweat box with vents?
Breathable! 👌
@ What’s the breathability rating?
@alfieakaronaldog I just do a review, follow the link the information should be there!
@ I’m guessing the fabric is not breathable but I will check if I buy one.
What size did you get?
XL👌
It's been a few months, is it still waterproof after months of use?
They only remain waterproof as long as the coating is still on them, it needs to be replenished a few times a year!
@@Billyfishing_watch how do you do that? I didn't know that was a thing
@harvey2539 just search how to reconditioned soft shell jackets
I'm not sure you have waterproof and water-resistant correct.
An unfortunate term of phrase! But my intent is not to mislead. Thanks Brother
No finer sight than a fellow Irishman in the rain , it's our natural habitat. Love on ya bro.
Thanks Brother 🤣 it sure is 😁👌
Looks good
Voice deepens ..gonna get 1 of these for christmas ..and 50 quids worth of gas ..for the gaff"
Nice👌
Looks to small and short on ya, prefer big longer and loose to be able to layer up, they only go up to a 3xl
Different strokes for different folks 👌
I have yet to watch a review where someone gets a free jacket to review and they say its crap. 😂 Tight lines bud.
That would be because if it was crap I wouldn't do the review!
Quite right too
Billy the Bear xx
Thanks Matt😁👌
Don´t wanna be a d**k or anything, but you should check the title. You do great vids btw. Thanks m8
Thanks mate 😃👍🏼

Buy once, cry once. Just like anything in life, you get what you pay for. If it's as advertised, it's worth every penny.

Hi Wayne, I was just thinking that very same thought. Hopefully they will produce some in the future. Thanks Brother 😁👌
Ooh I'd love a jacket like that but, on my pension they might as well be called 'Dearskin' instead of 'Bearskin. €180, my wife would be skinning me😅
Don’t worry John, they offer discounts. Follow the link and check it out if you like 😁👌🏻
Arghh, I am a bear and behave empty-headed like a bear. I wear a “tactical” hoodie because I think I am a NAVY Seal. Arghh. Also, it’s spelled “Baer” now because it’s cool to misspell things. Arghh.

Chinese made cheap garments sold at a premium.

Definitely not worth money exchange size impossible 😮
I only do a review
will never buy ! So tired of being hammered with adverts on youtube ! MADE in CHINA CRAP !
Everything's made in China!
I thought this was made in Europe

It's a pretty ugly design
Your entitled to your opinion
made in china and is shipped direct from china also wish I would of done more research also over priced there good at marketing
