Not impressed
"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"

ordering was simple, shipping was
"ordering was simple, shipping was fast, jacket seems well made, fit is good with room for layer, length seem long but might end up being good to help keep the wind and chill out, Will be tested this fall for durability!"

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 out success!!
"Got my gear for Christmas the prior year so I finally got it to take it out on November 1 for rifle opener in my area. The solace pattern kept me secluded in the poplar and this buck didnt see me coming! Definitely going to broaden my selection!"

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
"This is a very, very good jacket. The quality, fit and finish is of a very high standard. It was true to size, comfortable and a great fit with excellent features. Great job and very much recommended."

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."
