ZAPT 1000D CORDURA US Army Tactical Jacket Military Waterproof Windproof Hard Shell Jackets

It took me a long time to pull the trigger on this because I was worried the quality would be poor compared to the Kitanica MK I. I did not care that it was half price, I would have shelled out the money for the Kitanica if I liked it more. I think this one is considerably better, and yes it's half the price, no brainer!• No branding; Kitanica branding is pretty ugly• This grey version has grey matching buckles; the Kitanica Grey has black buckles which does not look good• Extra Molle loops and a pocket on the left arm• Half the price, there is no noticeable quality difference, it's 1000D versus 1000D, stitching looks fantastic on this.I am really tough to fit clothes (5'6" 175, 43 shoulders, 32 waist). I was hoping the small would fit so the arms wouldn't be long and ordered that but no way, the small would not fit (nylon does not stretch over time, how it fits is how it fits). Had to return the small and got the medium. It fits fantastic, the arms are a little long for me but that's normal for my height/size. That's the only con as well as cordura being a bit noisy when you're moving, but all cordura shells are noisy.

RUNS BIG, DO BUY ONE SIZE DOWN, It not going to be waterproof, it will be 95% windproof, Material Nop Notch; Hardware. It is a nice jacket, too many quick release on front, Why around neck, I have no idea. From Extensive Experience, a HWk / Alpha Motor jacket is the way to Buy for 'MY'; applications / needs.

When I bought this coat, there weren't any reviews yet so I took a chance on it. I never write reviews but felt I had to for my fellow tact gear lovers. I've spent 14 collective years in the military and wish they issued bad ass jackets like this. It's clearly going to last a long time. Very durable. Pockets in all the right places, and stays a bit stiff and that's a plus for me. Couple this with some tactical pants and no nonsense boots and you'll look like you are in a call of duty photo shoot. Problem is I get stopped all the time to get asked where I got it. I bought the black in large which gives me plenty of room to wear a fleece and or sweater for colder days and just bought the medium desert color for t shirt and jacket days. I'm 6' 205 so I'm hoping I didn't make a mistake with the medium but I'll see soon. I carefully removed the shoulder flap where pen holders are in order to where an American flag patch which fits perfect and I wear my 2nd armored division unit patch on my right arm. My only complaint is there seems to be a zipper for a fleece jacket liner but it does not come with one but who cares?, I've got plenty of those and this is one bad ass jacket.

Very cool. Extremely durable and well made for a Chinese knock off. I bought a medium, I’m 6’0, 165 lbs, athletically built and it fits nicely. I even had room to wear a thick fleece under it.Works well in the wind but not quite “windPROOF” and the waterPROOFing is not quite correct because it still absorbs water after a while. That said, it is very wind and water RESISTANT. Important distinction to be made there. The resistance to wind and water is great but it is not quite wind and water proof. The 1000D cordura is awesome material but not the same as what a true wind/water proof jacket is made of. MUCH more durable though than what those jacket’s shells are made of (typically).Quality control gripe: mine came with one side of the waist adjustment strap torn off but not a deal breaker, I just looped it into the plastic piece and zip tied it. This where that whole Chinese knock off part shows.Personal taste related gripe: the buckles that go all the way up the front are kinda weird and unnecessary. Still not sure why those are there or what intended function they are supposed to have.Price gripe: I wish I took a picture of this but I didn’t and it’s too late due to trash pickup, but I paid $270 USD for multicam. The receipt/customs form from China had it listed as valued at $80 USD.... c’mon now. At least try to hide that. The fact that Zapt hiked the price by over 300% is dirty but expected, they are a business afterall. BUT, don’t rub it in. Insult to injury man.All things considered, I’m satisfied enough to give it 4 stars, would have been 5 if not for that torn strap and blatant price gouging. Plus a little product exaggeration.

5’8” 215 lbs and the medium fits like a glove. The jacket is amazing and feels great. The only thing I am disappointed by is there is a zipper for a zip in liner but apparently no liner is available.

I highly recommend it. It’s perfect for what I do. I’m a security professional and it fits perfectly under my plate carrier but doesn’t cover my duty belt, viz., my gun and mags. It doesn’t affect my draw whatsoever, and is durable enough to protect me from the elements. It comes slightly larger than sized (large) so be aware. I washed and dried it to get a better fit myself, which fixed the problem for me. I’m trying to find a warm liner for it for the colder days, but its size allows to wear layers underneath. I only wished the soft velcros on the arms were standard sizes to fit flag patches. It’s otherwise awesome overall. Highly recommend!!!!

I wasn’t sure about this product but it turned out to be excellent! Very well made and sizing is spot on! Half the price of the Kitanica version.Highly recommended!!!

So I have the original USA made jacket after witch this one is made and I have to say holy damn this is 1 great replica , great fit , awesome build quality , the material is hardcore wear resistant, the only difference I see is that this one Is a bit more stiff then the original and it has 1 extra mole and a pocket on the left arm . I am impressed
