Tenacious

Overall, what I was looking for was something breathable and I think this works great! Other than that it's all icing on the cake but there is a lot of icing. I've boiled down my main thoughts below but for a full review and more pictures, check out my blog at http://civilgear.wordpress.com
HIGHLIGHTS
*Very breathable
*Tough outer and inner shell materials
*Certified Class 3 retro-reflective
*Many pockets
*Removable hood
*2 radio loops
*Has zipper and snap options
*Decorated snaps
*Double stitchingCOMMENTS
*Could use a better admin pocket on the chest and perhaps a easy-to-access but secure wallet pocket on the inside of the jacket
*The jacket is a little bit noisy, sort of a wind breaker noise but with a little ruffle because of the thicker gauge
*Inner shell should be a little more attached to the outer shell
*Pen pocket on the arm, is actually right at the elbow, I’d like it to be raised up to the shoulder by 4 inches. I’d also like to see if a flap, or even a rubber material applied, that would help keep pens from slipping out accidentally.
*The outer hook & loop wrist straps don’t tighten enough, especially if no additional layers are used underneath, but this probably helps the jacket breath
*I’d also suggest making the bottom hand pockets even wider, possibly even wide enough for an iPad.
*Should have more info on how the 8287 inner thermal jacket option works with this outer shell
*A little on the big side as it's likely designed bigger to accommodate an inner thermal layer optionPlease Note: This review is of product that was provided to the user free of charge.
