Backcountry.com Wool Hooded Jacket - Men's

im 5'11" and 140lbs(skinny and lanky). i went with a small and it fits well. the sleeves are long enough for my + 3" arm span, but it wouldnt hurt if the torso was a tad longer and the hood was bigger. havent washed it yet, it would be bad if it shrunk a lot. overall though, this jacket is uber steez!

Material and quality are all good. My only gripe is that what looks like an athletic fit was not.. Certainly not in XL. I'm 6.5 tall and use Xl in most Arcteryx clothing which this jacket was compared to in relation to fit. There's a lot of room for a beer belly and man-boobs. So I wouldn't say it's a slim fit. I like the pockets, zippers and hood, all very well done. A minor detail is that the seams (attaching the chinguard)on the chin part scratches my chin and neck quite a bit, even though it has a chin guard.

I got a Medium, I'm 5'-11", 160 lbs, it fits quite snug but not too tight, seems to be very high quality.

This is a wicked jacket. Fits perfectly. It will be great around town or at the crag climbing this summer. I was worried about the fit, but I'm 6feet and 180 and the large is perfect. It's a slim fit, and just the right length. This is my new favourite piece of gear. Way to go on the jacket.

I've really got no big complaints about this one. The hood seems big enough to wear over a helmet, which is a little odd for a non-tech jacket, but that's not a big deal. I've been comfortable anywhere from 55 degrees down to just below freezing. I love the styling and the fact that the logo placement is subtle since I hate being a billboard for anyone. I'm 6'1", 175 lbs and went with the large. Fit is right on. Wish there was a version without a hood.

I wore this all winter long. I love it. It is made in Canada, and will last. The arms are a little longer than usual, which makes it perfect for long monkeys as myself. The fit is slim, keep that in mind. I usually wear a medium to large jacket. I had to get a Large. They fit much like Arc'teryx outerwear. A great wear. I got a lot of compliments with this one.

This is the best purchase I have made for winter clothing. My budget was a bit tight but in the end I don't care because this is a 'life saver'. It is warm, wind resistant and stylish. I live in New Zealand so for those using metric terms and I am 5' 12" and 80 kg I purchased the large sized hooded jacket and it was a perfect fit - which surprised me from an internet purchase. Until it gets warm again this is my new second skin.

Perfect for the spring in the Rockies. The inner cuff on the sleeves fits snug. Good quality, very warm. In wind and blowing snow (spring in the rockies) it blocks almost all of the wind.

I love 100% items because you don't have to wash them much because they don't make you smell like traditional synthetic fleece does. How does this thing handle the smell factor?

Bought this jacket about a month or two ago and no complaints. Talked with a gear expert and he sized me up very well over the chat. I'm about 140lbs and 5'10" and ordered a medium, couldn't fit better! Within the first day I received three compliments on it, a co-worker wanted to steal it hah.

Liked it so much I bought another one for m wife. Very warm but needs a wind block layer on top. I used a The North Face outer layer.

I am 5'9", 145 and the medium fits great. This jacket is super comfy, not itchy and warm. The collar runs high, but that is prime when you zip it up with the hood on providing great protection from the elements. The inner cuff for your wrist is nice and not too tight but keeps unwanted wind and snow out. I am very impressed by the overall quality of this item. Well worth the price!

Very slim-fit so if you plan on wearing a lot of layers get one size up. I like the longer sleeves since they won't ride up when doing stuff. Really like it. Dressy enough to wear to work but plenty toasty and breathable to for everything else. It is also a lot more windproof than I would have guessed.

I was eying this jacket for a while before I bought it and the only thing that was holding me back, was the price tag. It's a bit expensive, but well worth the price! I'm 6', 155lbs, and I bought the medium. It's a perfect fit, with just enough room to get another thin layer underneath for those really cold days. The inside is lined with fleece, so it's a very warm jacket, perfect for those chilly mornings. As River_Reverend had said, the only thing that bothers me a bit is when the jacket is unzipped, you see the backstitching of the backcountry logo. I wish it were a little more visible because I want to wear my backcountry jacket with pride!

Wish the logo wasn't under the neck flap - all you see is the back side stitching when unzipped. Other than that, it's a great jacket w/ a professional look.

So I odered this tenatively, but all of the reviews were so great that I had to at least try it on. The reviews were right. I live in this thing. It's nice enough that I can wear it at work, and it doesn't have the look of a traditional hoodie. It's also comfortable enought that I wear it on the weekends as well. It's super warm, and I get compliments on it all of the time. If you are between sizes, order the smaller size. It has long arms, but is slender which is nice for you tall thiner guys like myself.

A great fitting jacket, that works well for many things/occasions. It fits like a Mtn Hrdwr Alchemy jacket yet its feel is very casual, a splendid mixing of styles.

I am 5'10-11", ~165 lbs, and I purchased a Medium. Definitely an athletic fit, with longer sleeves. If it were to shrink, it would be bad, but I think a Large would be too big. SO, it is a perfect, athletic fit for my size and weight. Basically, I love the jacket, and have received numerous compliments on it. I live in MN, and it is keeping me warm!

This is great

nice and discrete. good weight and cut. it's actually more water resistant than I would have guessed too. I often will wear another sweater or hoody under it, and it works great like that.

I like hoodies loose. This one's got a performance cut. Size up and your all good. You guys should make a lightweight one!

Very stylin, warm and snug Not good as mid layer while skiing, will stink from synthetics

I love this hoodie. You can wear it as a jacket or as just a hoodie and it doesn't get too hot. It's comfortable but the fit is for an athletic frame. I'm round in the belly and had to go up a size, but I'm happy all the same with the large size.

This jacket showed its versatility in the frigid temps of Vermont, chic Beaver Creek / Vail and Tahoe-fabulous Squallywood during the past several wks. Did not soak up jet airliner funk with the frequent flyer mileage. Sometimes the inner cuffs got in the way - trying to look at my watch or shirt cuffs would bind, but this is trivial.

This is the first piece of Backcountry apparel I've ever bought. Color me impressed. It feels like a couple dudes chatted about the things that make their favorite jackets great and then stuck them all on this one -- great chest pocket with a substantial zipper pull, snug hood, nice high neck, wrist cuffs to catch the wind, etc, etc. Still... lots of jackets are technically sound. The coolest thing about this jacket is the streamlined, stylish look and the subtle branding. It's a sophisticated jacket, not some techy-and-a-little-cheesy red and black shell. Sure, I can wear it to a bar where they have PBR on special... but I can also wear it a bar where they don't.

Fit is snug and athletic. Blocks wind very well. I found the arms are a bit long as people have mentioned and the inside of the sleeves grab and pull whatever shirt you are wearing up your arms. Still, a great piece to wear around town.

I'd say there's nothing significantly flawed with this jacket. There are however, a few minor details that annoy me. For my body size, (5 11, 140, waist 29"... lanky a little, i know), the jacket was just not long enough, i ordered a small, although the fit to the body was perfect. The chest pocket, is a little small for my taste. It is not as insulated as it may seem, but it does keep heat in very well. The specs also didn't mention that there are internal pockets on both sides, no zippers on them or anything though.

I love this jacket. I'm a medium build tall guy and it fits perfectly (6'2" 180#). The jacket is warm enough to wear by itself in cool weather or layers perfectly with the cairn fleece by backcountry.com; it is not windproof. The fleece lining is super soft and is not scratchy like most other wool jackets.

It's really warm and the outer face of the jacket looks/feels cool due to the wool, but the design is a little odd. The arms are pretty long (I'm 5'10'' 155 lbs and ordered the medium), and there's no collar...the hood is connected directly to the jacket like a hoody. This is fine if you want a hoody, but I was expecting a collar. Guess I should have looked at the pics a little more closely. Four stars only because it wasn't what I was expecting, but it's still a nice piece!

this jacket is so much better looking in person than it is on the site. you can wear it anywhere, and you will always look solid. the fit is athletic, so it makes you look and feel like you are in shape...whether you are or you are not. whoever thought, a wool hoody, check out the innovation. i love it.

This jacket is the best jacket I have ever owned. Almost wind proof, high cuff so you are protected from wind while riding around on your "towny", great fit. All pockets have zippers and there are not too many of them. I am 5'11 at 160 and the medium fits perfectly. If you want to wear a sweat shirt underneath go with the large. Backcountry.com best woll jacket on the market!

This is a great piece to have on the coat rack. Probably wouldn't be the first choice to spend money on, but it fills in the gaps between tech and street so well you'll be wearing it in in quick fashion.

I've had this jacket for a few weeks and I like it overall. It's not really something I'd wear backcountry skiing, hiking, etc., it's more of a stylish piece, I think. Though I say stylish, it still has some great outdoor flare to it. The overall feel of the material is awesome. This thing is thick and does a fair job at blocking the wind--even though it's not Windstopper. I had it on during some fierce and cold winds this winter and noticed only a slight amount of wind through the jacket. For me, the only miss on this jacket is that if you wear a long-sleeve shirt underneath, be ready to have it pulled up to your armpit when you put the jacket on. Even with buttoned sleeve cuffs, the material grabs anything you're wearing and pulls it to your pits. Maybe the sleeves should be lined with nylon or something... dunno. That's the only gripe and if you hold your sleeve while putting it on, it's better. Nice jacket overall... great for chillin with a hip, outdoorsy feel.

Arc'teryx look out! This is the coolest hoodie ever. The soft wool hand offsets its hypertechnical nature. Fit is very slim and sleeves are on the long side- things I like, I've have a size L; and I've got a very large back (not so big waist) so it's snug in the arms/back but again, I'm pretty athletic. Super soft, warm, just awesome. The sleeves have internal elastic which is excellent.

Backcountry knows their gear and it shows. This is my new favorite jacket, very warm, wind resistant and good cut. Its thicker than I expected and looks pretty dressy when going out on the town. MUCH better than my $200 arcteryx covert hoody. And the tag says its made in Canada! I thought clothing was only made in asia these days. The quality shows. Cuffs and a elastic drawstring bottom to keep the wind is a nice feature too. Fits pretty true to size but its a slimmer cut with longer arms. Five stars

id say this hoodie was well worth the money. ive got a million and this one is now my fav. id say the best thing is the neck protection it offers. in addition to that the hood is well fitting to keep in warmth for when your out in the cold. overall: best hoodie ever!

I love this jacket for wearing every day. It's warm, reasonably wind proof and generally fits well. My major complaint is that at 5'7" I'm normally a small but got the medium because the body fits a bit snugly. That said the arms a just a bit too long.

Doesn't have that nasty itchy feel like most wool, just straight up soft. Cut is nice, good comfortable fit and the inside of the sleeve by the wrist has this cuff which is really nice. When you put your hand through it's weird at first but definitely a good call. The logo is placed in a good spot too, I don't feel like I have a goat plastered all over me. This came at a good time cuz I was sick of rockin' my Arcteryx softshell every where I go, time for something low key but that doesn't skimp on quality. Pockets are great too, one thing to know is that the collar rides REALLY high, like up to my nose. If that's not high for you then I guess I'm weird, I dig it though. Pockets have super soft lining, NICE job you guys! you nailed it!
