I have a theory that I try to follow. Any product/service that is advertised heavily is usually a scam. Bearskin meets that in spades. Shipped from China is a major concern. Returns on the customer's dime to China is a big hell no.
@@Hogprint25everything american is still produced in china whether it’s north face, levi’s or authentic icelandic wool jumpers because our politicians made it to expensive to run factories in europe and america. canada goose is one of the only labels that actually stayed in canada but i’m not paying a $1500 for a jacket so.. 🤷🏻♀️
@@olllena148k sure it comes from china but no F'ing way china products can be sold at US made prices, so pass on the $499.75 price tag or even their "NEW" 66% discount because it is such a great product lowering the price to $170. I will give you $40 bucks Baerskin and that is being generous.
I received a baer skin hoodie for Christmas from a daughter. I was not impressed at all. The first thing I noticed is that the sleeves are rather tight, making it almost impossible to wear anything underneath, second was the pockets, most of them are too small, I couldn't find a pocket except for in the back that would actually hold my rather large cell phone,6.5"Android. Also the hood really sucks, it's like it was designed for a person with a 6" neck, the visor above the hoodie part is rather awkward, making it uncomfortable. They claim it to be waterproof, it is not, especially after washing. The way they advertise makes it sound like you're getting an actual bear fleece hoodie, it's not, it is actually just cheap synthetic fleece😢 their add also makes it sound like it's a product made in the USA, again it is not, it is made in China, it actually seems like a Walmart product, odd fit, even the hand pockets are rather small making it hard to keep your hands warm. I wish I could return it. The return policy sucks. You would have to pay almost as much as you paid for the hoodie itself. I would not recommend this product. I am going to try talk with an actual person from their company, but like another person who posted I believe he said good luck with that😢 in my opinion for the price, baer skin hoodie sucks. I believe you would do better on Amazon, at least Amazon has a good rep for returns. I almost forgot to mention, when I unpackaged it I took it in the sunlight I shook it a couple times, talk about inhaling micro and macro fibers. I now hear that they have a 3.0 waterproof hoodie, I definitely wouldn't trust this either, I will try to find a sheep fleece hoodie😊 something made of wool😊 I still have all the packaging and their sticker. I will probably repackage it and give it to a special relative that I dislike😮😅😅 on his birthday. The worst part about the hoodie is the actual hoodie😢 and it's only good to about 50 degrees Fahrenheit, please don't be foolish and expect this to keep you warm😢 I would never buy any product from them😢Baer Skin company sucks😢
Thanks for your honest review. I’d rather spend more money on a consumer-tested safe product from Patagonia or Marmot. But if I’m going to buy cheap, Amazon is the way to go because at least you know what you’re in for - will get your product, and can actually make returns.
Wait - you thought it was going to be made out of actual bear fur? The microfiber thing is a big problem that nobody really mentions, unfortunately. These are microplastic disasters.
Well said m8 👏👏 You probably won't know this But uv probably saved a few people getting scammed 😳 After I got scammed of a TH-cam ad for something else, A few years ago, Now I tell everyone who listen That if any item supposedly a Great deal on u tube, If its not advertised on Council tv it's Probably a scam ,All these scams have been around fr years before Internet started, They just moved on utube because all the younger 1s that don't know much about life yet & r all on TH-cam 😮😮👍
I ordered from Amazon the ReFire Gear Men's Warm Military Tactical Sport Fleece Hoodie Jacket for half the price BAERSkin and it arrived in two days. It is as good as the BAERSkin or appears to be.
TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE. DONT U HAVE TO SHIP AT YOUR EXPENSE TO SOME PLACE IN CHINA WHERE THE SHIPPING CHARGE US AS MYCH AS THE JACKET WITH NO GUARANTEE OF GETTING ANY REFUND!!
I worked outside for 8 hours. I bought this Bear tactical Rain Jacet and the pants for 200.00 .not 100% waterproof. My sweater was soaked what a fucking rip off .its a scam and fake advertising .sorry my opinion
Yeah, I definitely appreciate your insight into this because, after my impulsive decision to buy the 4.0 hoodie and the lack of location info has definitely made me anxious so I did as much research as I can and seen how many people were having issues. I get there a small company but damn fix the tracking info, we want to know where it’s coming from, what state or whatever it’s in at all times. Instead all I have is for example, “ arrival at destination airport” like wtf is that gonna do to ease our minds. But anyways thanks for making this video! I still hope that my purchase was worth it. It’s only been five days to be fair, just hope I didn’t f up.
After waiting nearly a month for 4.0 hoodie to finally arrive, I cancelled all the annoying marketing emails and texts, so I'm feeling a little better now about the purchase. I'm actually quite pleased with the quality of the 4.0 hoodie. I'm 6-1 210lbs. I ordered the Large. It fits loose enough to wear a couple layers underneath. It cuts the wind nicely. I like all the pockets but do lose things and if you put too many items in your pockets the jacket gets heavy and bulky. I bought on the forever sale deal at $99. NO ONE should ever pay $300 for this jacket. I've a couple nice fleece zipper jackets from Columbia which cost about $80 at the time (a couple years ago). This 4.0 hoodie fleece is heavier and cuts the wind better. So my overall review is that it fits well. I like the pockets and it seems of a quality build. If you can wait the nearly month or more to get your order, then it's probably worth it. Lucky for me it fit and I have had no problems so I haven't had to deal with customer support. Would I order another one or some other product from Bearskin? Probably not! But I do like the jacket I received.
Spot on about their customer service. It absolutely sucks. It’s been two weeks since my order was confirmed and still no tracking info. Its December 7. They don’t respond to emails or phone calls. BUT but I stand by their 3.0. I wear it all winter working on the river here in a Pgh PA. Two layers beneath under armor and depending on temps a long sleeve t shirt or Spyder mid layer
I recently order the 4.0 hoodie at their $99 deal. They claim I would have it by a specific date. I did not have high expectation given all the negative comments I've read about their slow shipping...likely from China. True to form it will not arrive by their stated delivery date. I received immediate information with a shipping tracking number. A week later there has been no actively with the tracking number provided. It is not a USPS, FedEx or USPS tracking number. I've order things from Asian countries and this tracking number matches their format. In the mean time I've been inundated with 2-3 texts a day and at least 2 emails each day offering "huge" discounts if I order something else. My guess is they hold the original order hoping you'll get suckered into another item which they can add to the order to reduce their shipping cost. Once the week or so deal offers runs out then they finally ship. I'm still waiting for the actual shipping notification. I'm only a couple days way from their "guaranteed" delivery date and it hasn't even been shipped from an Asian port. I'd say give yourself a 3 weeks to a month if you order from them.
It did finally arrive about a week late. I slammed them in my review. I got sick of 2 and emails and texts a day. If they want to have a loyal US market they need to figure out a better US distribution system.
Yeah, I saw one of their jackets (not the one your talking about) and liked it. Now I’ve seen the flooded ads which made me hesitant (they look like scam ads) so I did a little digging to see what I can find out. From what I’ve seen most people like what they sell, but the BIG problem is their customer service is absolutely terrible. Pick a site and you’re going to see tons of bad reviews. From what I’ve read from multiple multiple reviews is they like to be hard to get a hold of, often make excuses rather than help their customers, and play games like issuing credits then rescinding them shortly after. Some of the reviews were frustrating as hell to read and I wasn’t even the one losing the money. The other problem is they seem to be overpriced and you can get the same items for far less elsewhere if you look. I’m not telling people to not buy their stuff, but I’ll say this, tread carefully. I personally won’t attempt it. I don’t know why they think it won’t bite them in the ass eventually, but it’s too sketchy to risk it with them with all the other good brands out there to choose from.
I’ve been happy af with my green 2.0. Would recommend. However, it’s an XXL and I’ve gone from over 300lbs to over 200. Your October ‘23 sealed the deal for a 3.0. Even chose the tan. All your concerns (biiiig hood, baggie arms, and cuff thickness. No zipper issues though) seemed to be addressed. And the fact that it has been cut a little slimmer means I may put the new tan one underneath the green for added style! 😂 Thanks for voicing my own thoughts on the perpetual sale and, as as a young Boomer, I’m used to mail taking a while and refunds taking a month. Your explanation of how the real world works, for the younger gens only used to “Valkyrie” prime, was a little bit of fresh air.
Edited: After submitting the complaint I wrote here to BAERSkin again, I was surprised to receive an email stating they had taken the comments to heart and included them in the next version. they then said they would give me a new version 3.0 of the fleece hoodie and it is awesome. So, I went from this below to now being sold on them and likely going to get one of their waterproof hoodies also. **************************************************** WORST GARMENT PURCHASE I'VE EVER MADE. I bought the hoodie in 3X and the body fits fine. But the arms are made for some pencil man, they are stretched tight from my wrists to my shoulders so I can't wear it over a long sleeve shirt. And the hood is apparently made for a 50X hoodie as it hangs all the way over my head down to my chin. No adjustment on the back of the hoodie to adjust how far over your head it goes and mine seriously completely comes down to the bottom of my chin, rendering the hoodie unwearable for me. I get NO RESPONSE from their customer service. And from what I've heard from others, returning it is impossible as you will pay more to ship it back to China than you paid for the hoodie and then they still might not refund your money.
They were very fast, even live chat when i was purchasing, now that ive ordered not so much. As a matter of fact havent returned a message yet. Apparently the hoodies and belt been in Jamaica, NY. for 10 days.
Gotta get out of the 1990's mindset and realize how countries move up the value chain. I would never pay the price for this even if it was claimed to be made in italy (which is still china anyways)
The only time any layer is the "only one you need" is if you only plan on being pretty much standing around in the outdoors for less than an hour. Or you are in one of the polar regions in winter.
Was going to buy a jacket looked on Amazon far too many people with pictures of them soaking wet after wearing a "waterproof" jacket, if the jacket is a scam I expect most of their items are.
I'm glad you like it! Their new HeavyStorm Rain Jacket is a great option for something lightweight and packable. Their Softshell Rain Jacket is fleece lined and a nice option for something heavier and warmer.
For several weeks all I've been getting in my email were ads on how great the 4.0 jacket and the rain jacket is... and that huge discount you're getting if you order now. So much so, I was high on wanting to rush ahead and place my order. But I forced myself to wait at least until Black Friday hoping I might get an additional discount. Black Friday is here and now I'm ready to place my order. But then I thought maybe look for any reviews that might be available... TH-cam usually the first place to goto. I spent over two hours watching TH-cam's videos of Baerskin Jackets and the Rain Jacket and based on all those reviews, I was now ready to place my order feeling good about what I was about to do. Just when I was about to close the TH-cam website, I happened to see your video and noticed the title of the video was different... opposite of all the othervideos I've already seen. I had to hear what you had to say. From just your one video, I've now managed to hold-on to my horses. I've decided to just wait and not rush. I'm now not sure to order or just forget about it. I appreciate your video and is happy I got to see it before my jumping off the cliff. Thank You for sharing your thoughts.
I live in the UK so of course the zip was on the wrong side this was never mentioned the ad showed it on the left and of course when it came it was on the right not good
Every zipper I have on every pair of jeans and every jacket I have ever owned in my life (I’m 73) has zipped with the right hand. This zipper is left handed. And cheap.
I have and (while I may be a bit biased) it's pretty sweet. The fleece lining is nice, but you will still need layers underneath if its very cold out. The water repellant works great and will definitely keep the rain off you. It is not lightweight and also doesn't pack down super small. But it will fit nicely inside a daypack. I just wouldn't bring it backpacking. It's also definitely more for Fall and early spring because it is warmer with the fleece lining
All I can say is that I’m happy i saw this video just now, and that I prodded at my brothers Christmas gift2 weeks ago. He doesn’t want it, I kind of do, but not for Canadian winter
Happy with mine but I have a polish army fleece and it’s way better quality and warmer so . Never believe a salesman. Oh I was once one 😂. I also have their zip on rain jacket not used that yet but it’s very light for packing
I can tell you right now they have PISS POOR customer service. I ordered on the 2nd. It is now the 11th. 2 of the 3 phone numbers listed for them are not good. They have NO ONE answering the phone. So, 9 days in and not knowing what country they are located in and whether or not they will ship my item in time for Christmas I filed a complaint against them with PayPal. Then they basically blamed me for filing the complaint. What a crap company. I will order one from the company that one of your other comments recommended.
All I’m hearing from this video is excuses for a company that’s playing in the global market. So I did some research and found thread after thread about poor to none customer service, product never received nor refunded, and so on and so forth. Even in the comments here, BS doesn’t appear to be a company worth buying from. As for your review? Me thinks thou doth protest too much. It’s what humans do when trying to conceal the truth.
Was looking at the rain jacket. 10k waterproof isn’t impressive by anyone’s standards, but regardless of what you read, 10k is completely sufficient for 99% of rain and snow situations. With a hard nap shell and killer dwr it’s 100% gtg in all situations. It’s the not stating breathability and RET value that is disappointing. Anything less then 15k = terrible breathability.
eally bad customer support, took over two weeks to ship,nearly a month to come from a asian port, had to contact to find out what was going on, but this is the only time they responded, got dark green, is more of an emerald green, want to return, so have emailed them twice over the last two weeks, no response, called and just get a machine, still no response, new ones don't come with a brim on them which is what you see in the ad's and one of the most popular features. Beware.
Ofcourse all your communications yave been great... they obviously know you are reviewing their products... buy the product and review before slating people for posting negative reviews... You receives free hoodies for saying all the negative comments are all but fake... duuur.
Made the mistake of ordering from them. I just requested to cancel the same hour I ordered after seeing reviews. Their phone system has hung up on me every single time. The chat is non human and no one every gets on to chat. Email is brief.
I would have purchased one but the only men and women models used in their commercials are young and fit as a fiddle. What about us older folks that are thicker and get around with the good ol bread basket? The waist areas of these hoodies are pretty lean....just saying.
Customer service is horrible. I received my products but need to exchange the items and have been ghosted on any email or phone message I have left for an exchange.
Hey Fabio, you look ridiculous. Baerskin has reduced the price of all its products because buyers understand that a rain jacket needs pit zips, which none of its jackets have. They are scrambling to offload everything before crashing.
ordered a 3-1 waterproof jacket and fleece hoodie from them. Said delivered but never was. called customer service many times throughout weeks never heard from them. They haven't done anything to resolve this and no one answers. Very disappointed with them.
Yeah, save your money because they stole mine. It’s been 17 days. The tracking number that they gave me doesn’t track shit just says in transit I tried to reach out. I got nothing back. I guess you have to have a TH-cam channel to actually get one.
My order took over a month to arrive UK . In my opinion not good quality I was expecting better for the money iv bought better quality for less . Next time I will go to shop try before I buy .
I see the ads all the goddamn time on youtube at work (no adblock at work), its like 50/50. That alone ensure I will never buy their overpriced, chineseium trash.
I bought one. Terrible hoodie, poorly made. You assume they are a good company? You know what happens when you assume. This is the worst online shopping website. Product quality is poor. And customer service is non-existent. You receive template answers.
Everything was cool until you mentioned... China. And then... I completely lost interest in looking at this product anymore. Thank you for your own honesty, and no thanks to Baerskin for using China to make it.
Happy with mine but I have a polish army fleece and it’s way better quality and warmer so . Never believe a salesman. Oh I was once one 😂. I also have their zip on rain jacket not used that yet but it’s very light for packing

I did! It’s a sweet system!
It's very expensive for a made in China product...
Many premium clothing items are made in China...
Gotta get out of the 1990's mindset and realize how countries move up the value chain.

@@domokun845nah. Look at Origin USA, US made and sourced. China is still a producer of absolute crap.
No, I agree if I'm paying for good quality stuff, I expect to make their own country, not China .witch Bear skin tactical not 100 % waterproof.
Big NO to pay that much for made in China.
The only time any layer is the "only one you need" is if you only plan on being pretty much standing around in the outdoors for less than an hour. Or you are in one of the polar regions in winter.
Was going to buy a jacket looked on Amazon far too many people with pictures of them soaking wet after wearing a "waterproof" jacket, if the jacket is a scam I expect most of their items are.
Thanks for your honesty mate.
Thanks for watching!
Have a bearskin hoodie 3.0 love it want to buy a coat what's the best waterproof coat they make
I'm glad you like it! Their new HeavyStorm Rain Jacket is a great option for something lightweight and packable. Their Softshell Rain Jacket is fleece lined and a nice option for something heavier and warmer.
what about the Baerskin big parka fur lined coat thing? is it good quality materials and build? is it worth it, in your opinion?

I appreciate your video and is happy I got to see it before my jumping off the cliff. Thank You for sharing your thoughts.
Mine was too short. The stupid brim on the hood was annoying. If you have a long torso, or a belly. Save your money for Chicom trash.
I live in the UK so of course the zip was on the wrong side this was never mentioned the ad showed it on the left and of course when it came it was on the right not good
Mate you're on the wrong side is all ! 😅
Stop blaming tbe rest of the World you did that to yourself...
What do you mean by the zip is on the wrong side?
Good information!
Every zipper I have on every pair of jeans and every jacket I have ever owned in my life (I’m 73) has zipped with the right hand. This zipper is left handed. And cheap.
Anyone have any experience with The BÆRSkin Softshell Jacket?
I have and (while I may be a bit biased) it's pretty sweet. The fleece lining is nice, but you will still need layers underneath if its very cold out. The water repellant works great and will definitely keep the rain off you. It is not lightweight and also doesn't pack down super small. But it will fit nicely inside a daypack. I just wouldn't bring it backpacking. It's also definitely more for Fall and early spring because it is warmer with the fleece lining
@@AlexHatlevig Thanks so much Alex!!!!
@@MrBlessed70 my pleasure!
Ive got one and its crap. Out 30 mins and all the seams were damp , unless ive got a faulty one.@AlexHatlevig
@joycelawson6230 yeah I'm very pist off what a fucking joke keeps you 100% dry my ass .fake advertising.
All I can say is that I’m happy i saw this video just now, and that I prodded at my brothers Christmas gift2 weeks ago. He doesn’t want it, I kind of do, but not for Canadian winter
Happy with mine but I have a polish army fleece and it’s way better quality and warmer so . Never believe a salesman. Oh I was once one 😂. I also have their zip on rain jacket not used that yet but it’s very light for packing
got one 60 cdn new. not sure about warmth for an Alberta winter, but the pockets should come in handy
60 cad ? Got a link
I can tell you right now they have PISS POOR customer service. I ordered on the 2nd. It is now the 11th. 2 of the 3 phone numbers listed for them are not good. They have NO ONE answering the phone. So, 9 days in and not knowing what country they are located in and whether or not they will ship my item in time for Christmas I filed a complaint against them with PayPal. Then they basically blamed me for filing the complaint. What a crap company. I will order one from the company that one of your other comments recommended.
Yes you are ! Got them all !
All I’m hearing from this video is excuses for a company that’s playing in the global market. So I did some research and found thread after thread about poor to none customer service, product never received nor refunded, and so on and so forth. Even in the comments here, BS doesn’t appear to be a company worth buying from. As for your review? Me thinks thou doth protest too much. It’s what humans do when trying to conceal the truth.
Buy on sale only
Was looking at the rain jacket. 10k waterproof isn’t impressive by anyone’s standards, but regardless of what you read, 10k is completely sufficient for 99% of rain and snow situations. With a hard nap shell and killer dwr it’s 100% gtg in all situations. It’s the not stating breathability and RET value that is disappointing. Anything less then 15k = terrible breathability.
I have tried 3 times to get a bearskin tactical rain jacket man. I never received it. 3 times in a row I think there full of it
Absolutely appalling customer service sent 4 emails about my order not had a single response. I would avoid this company
eally bad customer support, took over two weeks to ship,nearly a month to come from a asian port, had to contact to find out what was going on, but this is the only time they responded, got dark green, is more of an emerald green, want to return, so have emailed them twice over the last two weeks, no response, called and just get a machine, still no response, new ones don't come with a brim on them which is what you see in the ad's and one of the most popular features. Beware.
Ofcourse all your communications yave been great... they obviously know you are reviewing their products... buy the product and review before slating people for posting negative reviews...
You receives free hoodies for saying all the negative comments are all but fake... duuur.
You work for the company,nuf said.
Made the mistake of ordering from them. I just requested to cancel the same hour I ordered after seeing reviews. Their phone system has hung up on me every single time. The chat is non human and no one every gets on to chat. Email is brief.
I would have purchased one but the only men and women models used in their commercials are young and fit as a fiddle. What about us older folks that are thicker and get around with the good ol bread basket? The waist areas of these hoodies are pretty lean....just saying.
Just keep waiting for you to call Mjolnir😅
Customer service is horrible. I received my products but need to exchange the items and have been ghosted on any email or phone message I have left for an exchange.
Zips on the wrong side. Zipper is cheap and mine has broken after two seasons. Not worth the price.
How many times will you say "i'm not trying to defend them" before you convince yourself you're not? Not buying it
Hey Fabio, you look ridiculous. Baerskin has reduced the price of all its products because buyers understand that a rain jacket needs pit zips, which none of its jackets have. They are scrambling to offload everything before crashing.
ordered a 3-1 waterproof jacket and fleece hoodie from them. Said delivered but never was. called customer service many times throughout weeks never heard from them. They haven't done anything to resolve this and no one answers. Very disappointed with them.
Great video, overall i can see through their marketing and even then the hoodie is really nice
Thank you!
Honestly I'm pretty sure they are a scam. Cause I've ordered from them before, but never actually received any product
They also kill black bears to make some models.
Yeah, save your money because they stole mine. It’s been 17 days. The tracking number that they gave me doesn’t track shit just says in transit I tried to reach out. I got nothing back. I guess you have to have a TH-cam channel to actually get one.
My order took over a month to arrive UK . In my opinion not good quality I was expecting better for the money iv bought better quality for less . Next time I will go to shop try before I buy .
Always use pay pal when dealing with Chinese companies
Always used credit cards and never had a problem. Never use pay pal the ripoff company.
wait your own personal opinion on a product from a company you work for???? ok got it.
JCP got sued for the perpetual sale thing.
Definitely not thick fleece
I see the ads all the goddamn time on youtube at work (no adblock at work), its like 50/50. That alone ensure I will never buy their overpriced, chineseium trash.
Do people actually believe these types of product reviews?😂😂😂
300 fkn dollars??? That's hilarious 😆 HAAAAARD PASS!
I bought one. Terrible hoodie, poorly made. You assume they are a good company? You know what happens when you assume. This is the worst online shopping website. Product quality is poor. And customer service is non-existent. You receive template answers.
It is weird and dishonest. And your personal opinion is based on your experience after having advertised for them.
Scam
Do not wais your money over priced . Good luck getting your money back if you don't like it. Report, these people, everything, the worst of the worst
Another TAD Gear rip off design. They’ve had these jacket designs since like 2004 early GWOT
Again, I'm not defending them. This is another paid video
Everything was cool until you mentioned... China. And then... I completely lost interest in looking at this product anymore. Thank you for your own honesty, and no thanks to Baerskin for using China to make it.
Their commercials are atrocious
They sounds like scam commercials
Total Shite, I use Musto Snugs . half the price and twice as good. BAERskin is bollocks.
1st
Happy with mine but I have a polish army fleece and it’s way better quality and warmer so . Never believe a salesman. Oh I was once one 😂. I also have their zip on rain jacket not used that yet but it’s very light for packing
