Condor Softshell Jacket Nutnfancy Gear Review

Hook into a very tactical and useful outwear shell for around $80. In my extensive testing of this Condor Tactical Softshell jacket, I came away very impressed. It features amazing storage (8 well-designed pockets!), a perfectly designed and featured hood, great freedom of movement, long-enough sizing (probably order one size up dudes), great colors, pit zips, high quality stitching and zippers, and impressive attention to detail (like moral patches on the sleeves as well, Chums-brand zipper pulls, and perfect monochromatic color execution, and inner cell phone pockets). It is a copy of the also-excellent but stratospherically-priced TAD Gear "Stealth Hoodie" which in 2010 retails for $210. Wind, snow, and light rain resistance proved to be excellent in our RunNGuns in trying conditions; their breathable membrane seems to work as advertised and doesn't impart the clamminess that other Gore-Tex knockoffs do. I slammed this shell into the dirt, ran with it in the snow, mud, and rain and it came away no worse for wear and washed nicely. The Condor Softshell offers a near perfect all-around tactical or even around-town outer layer that you will fall in love with. /////////////////// Nutnfancy Likability Scale: 9 out of 10 (extending sizing would be make it a 10) /////////////// Music: www.torley.com ////////////// See either www.firearmspro.com (use code "nutnfancy" or www.uscav.com (use code "cavtnp", also our friend Brian Howell has another good review on this jacket!) for great deals on this jackets...thanks to both suppliers!

Condor MicroFleece jacket Nutnfancy gear review

The sharp looking Condor Microfleece jacket delivers higher quality than its price tag would indicate. For around $45 you get a quality fleece jacket that comes in three perfect tactical colorations (olive drab, coyote brown, and black). Expect excellent breathability as this fleece does not contain a wind membrane (and sometimes that is exactly what you want during higher activity levels). The temperature range is for comfort on this fleece is wide and forgiving with the cut giving a trim, unrestrictive fit. I find the sizing to be on the small size and you might want to order a size up, especially you have gorilla-length arms like I do (running an XXL size). The jacket is lightweight and packable. Fleece quality appears to be excellent, it's extremely comfortable, and no pilling on the jacket body was noted in testing (inside of pocket not withstanding). Storage is excellent and is accomplished by two zippered chest, two sleeve, and an interior kangaroo pocket. The high mandarin-style is comfortable and looks cool. The jacket's durability is enhanced by interior polyester mesh and oxford nylon reinforcements on the shoulders, back, and elbows. The sleeves feature an extendable spandex-type cuff with a thumb hole and color-matching Velcro morale patch attachment areas. Overall, the Condor Microfleece jacket, at least at its $45 price point offers amazing value that is unmatched by other similar tactially-oriented jackets. If Condor Tactical keeps the price and quality levels as shown then it will continue to sell out. //////////////// Nutnfancy Likability Scale: 9.5 out of 10 (extending sizing would be make it a 10) /////////////// Music: Derek Audette ////////////// See either www.firearmspro.com (use code "nutnfancy" or www.uscav.com (use code "cavtnp", also our friend Brian Howell has another good review on this jacket!) for great deals on this jackets...thanks to both suppliers!
