Rothco Special Ops Tactical Softshell Jacket in Olive Drab

Customer Reviews:* I love this jacket. I live just outside of D.C. and winter isn't really winter here, at least not to somebody who grew up and spent most of his life in Minnesota. A real winter jacket seemed inappropriate; I wanted something that I could wear from fall to spring and from descriptions, this seemed to fit the bill nicely.I can now say that my Olive Drag Special OPS Tactical Soft Shell Jacket has been fully tested, from 40 degrees on down to below zero with nearly -10 wind chills, and in rain and snow and gusting winds. First off, it is a very comfortable jacket. It is lightweight, and unlike my old Columbia jacket, not at all bulky. The only thing you really notice is the stand-up collar and that mostly because the hood is stuffed inside it (the hood, by the way, is the only thing I haven't tested).You have to get used to the pockets. You don't have your normal shove-your-hands-into-the-pockets pockets but a pair of pockets higher up on the jacket. But these are great pockets because they have little areas inside them that are good to put hotel room key cards, etc, which is a nice feature because the pockets are surprisingly deep. You also have pockets on the sleeves and pockets inside. You will never run out of pockets wearing this jacket.I have worn it with just a long-sleeve cotton pullover when it's 20 degrees and just a light wind and you can feel the cold but it's not really uncomfortable. I was visiting in Upstate New York recently and it was cold and blowing snow. The temperature got down to 1 degree Fahrenheit and the wind chills were below zero, reaching -8 one night, at least according to my weather app. And it felt it. On that occasion I added a button-up shirt and a sweater to my pullover and was quite comfortable. I ordered an XL because that is the size I normally wear and there has been plenty of room for the sweater.I like the sleeves because you can block out the wind with the Velcro strap, and adding a shemagh around my neck kept the cold off my throat. It doesn't hurt that it's a very attractive jacket, but mostly it's that it's a very good jacket, lightweight, warm, lets the rain slide off you and preserves freedom of movement at the same time. And when it gets warmer it's good to know that the sleeves have venting. I highly recommend this jacket for anyone who spends any time out of doors and is active (I like to roam around the woods taking photos and I enjoy hiking). * Great jacket for the price!! Highly recommended and great/fast service! I use the jacket ice climbing and mountaineering in Colorado and it has performed better than most of my very expensive soft shells. Great features, functional venting and plenty of storage!
