Hardscrabble Jacket
"Awesome Jacket. Used it to do some winter training for a Montana hunt. It held up very well to the cold/elements. The pit zips are an amazing feature. This jacket will definitely be included in my layering system for winter hunts. Its a great fit."

First time buyer and I
"First time buyer and I have to admit, at first I was a bit skeptical but that all changed after my first order arrived. I am 5'10", 215 lbs, muscular build, and the XL Hardscrabble Jacket fits perfectly. I also ordered the pants in a 38 regular, they are a little long but fit perfectly for layering. Highly recommend and you can't beat the price or warranty. Waiting on Memorial Day sales to add more."

Hardscrabble Jacket - Solace
"I liked the solace camouflage pattern on this jacket, it seems to have more brown (lighter earth tone) undertones versus grays, in my opinion making it a bit lighter overall appearance and more suited to eastern forests and marsh habitats I hunt, than other skre jackets, bibs and base layers I have purchased. Overall good quality as expected from Skre, but the sizing is quite a bit smaller than expected. The person I bought this as a gift for usually takes an XL and needed a 3XL for this particular Jacket. I had same issue in the past with this jacket, but unfortunately could not get into the largest size offered. Maybe the sizing will align better with other jackets (e. g. , the gaurdian) in the future and i get one for myself. Other than the sizing, seems to be a great Jacket."

Perfect
"Size- fit exactly how I need, 5'11 135lb Only annoyance is the right side waist sintch often looses with minor movement , left side is fine though. Very warm layered with a wool sweater and hoodie for the -25 to -30 as long as your doing somthing. Open up the vents and put a muscle shirt on underneith and can keep cool and warm in the changing spring weather of +20 and +2 that occurs as the day progresses. Blocks wind and rain out perfectly , havent exspieranced a storm in it yet though"

Top Quality Jacket

Great hunting jacket
"This is going to be the perfect hunting jacket. 5’8”, 172 pounds and the large is perfect. It fits over my 350 merino layer easy. I really like the pit zips for dumping heat. The material is quieter than my other jackets. This will be a win, win on those chilly muley chasing mornings,"

Haven't used it much yet but very nice jacket!
"Love it so far. Have had the pants for awhile and they've been great. Fairly true to size, but a touch small. I am average build, not overweight and went with a 2xl for the first time ever just for layering purposes. Thought the xl might get a bit tight when layering. I tried some on ahead of time at a local store."

Great coat
"Material feels good, great quality. Sizing on the SKRE coats is off. I'm normally an XL ended up needing 3XL. Shipping and exchange policy is flawless which maintains the 5 star. I don't know who SKRE uses as test models but they need reevaluation on jacket sizing."

Hard scrabble jacket
"I’m very impressed with how well this jacket retains body heat. I like the under arm vents, keeps my temps regulated without having to do any changes."

Good quality but one irritating design flaw.
"I have been wearing this jacket for a year now to test it’s longevity and it’s very high quality. It works well. I really like this jacket. However, there is a design flaw that is pretty annoying. The cuff/wrist adjustments are Velcro and stopped working within a few months of wearing the jacket. I have had to progressively tighten the wrists because the Velcro doesn’t last long. This should be replaced with a buckle or buttons. Anything that will last. As it stands this jacket will last for years to come but I’ll be turning it in on warranty soo. because of the failing Velcro wristlets when I finally run out of usable Velcro."
