"Great jacket. very versatile, zippered chest pockets, waist pockets, big armpit vents and oversized adjustable hood that doesn’t effect your vision. Wish they would go to elastic wrist cuffs instead of Velcro but definitely not a deal breaker. Super quiet and very comfortable. A great layering jacket for the cool morning, without the bulk. Buy now and break it in just a little before the season begins!!"
"The jacket fits a little tighter than i expected when compared to other brands. The material is louder than i was hoping for so i wont use it in certain hunting situations. I thought about returning the set but its well made and i will use it for something. If they get the sizing right and a quieter material i will be a repeat customer. Not trying to knock the product im just specific on what works for me. Still giving it a favorable review though for quality."
"Had to upsize from L to XL as I wanted to be able to layer the Sawtooth jacket underneath this jacket, but it was an easy process, and the larger size was perfect. I am 6’3” and 200lb, wear a large in the Sawtooth and an XL in the Hardscrabble"
"Great looking jacket. I like the Solace camo for the area I hunt. I went with a 2XL, which is a little on the big side for me (I'm 6'0", 210lbs), but I like the extra room for layering up as the mornings and evenings are cold but afternoons are usually quite warm in the Alberta fall."
"Plenty of storage. Comfortable, warm and water proof. I bought it for hunting, but I used on vacation up in Alaska. Fits great, allowed me to vent out hot air on warmer days and keep Comfortable."
"Great quality jacket. Have not field tested it yet however I think it’s going to be great. Would recommend going one size bigger to allow room for layering."
"Perfect at or above 10k in the mornings and night! Comfortable and quiet. Perfect fit! I got large im 5'10 185lbs."
"Perfect fit…. . completed my gear package…. . thanks Skre"
"awesome gear. fits well, lots of functional pockets and super comfortable! both the hardscrabble jacket and pants are a great buy"
"I am just back from a seven weeks trip in Newfoundland and Labrador. I bought the handscrabble jacket earlier this spring specifically for this trip. Knowing that in Newfoundland, the wind is pretty constant and at time pretty strong (for them, anything between 0 km/h and ""hold on to your hat"" is not really considered as windy). I figured that the handscrabble jacket would be a good choice. Having previously purchased 2 pairs of handscrabble pants and both types of long underwear, which I love very much by the way, I assume the handscrabble jacket would provide similar comfort This is not the case. The wind goes through the jacket, which i did not expect//plan on, so I ended up uncomfortably cold a number of times. Until the point thati had to get an alternative that really cut the wind Maybe my expectations were too high to begin with, but I end up with a jacket that is comfortable only when wind//fog is not a factor Bertrand"
