Backcountry.com Wool Hooded Jacket - Men's

i wear this thing on pretty much any occasion, camping, climbing, hiking, boarding as a layer, to town, so on... in freezing weather i don't feel cold with just a t shirt under this thing, it is very warm but still breathable i don't feel like im in a sweat box. spend the money and get this jacket, plus it has a cool goat on it. im 5'11'' and 150 and this thing fits absolutely perfect in a medium, i have long arms and the sleeves still have a little room which is nice. the medium is a little slim fitted on me but that's how i expected it to be. buy this jacket.

I'm 5'9" about 145 lbs and the Medium fits me perfectly. The tailored cut is cozy and looks sharp. I also like that the sleeves are a little longer than most jackets - they come down to my thumb joint with my arms at my sides. A cuff tucked inside the sleeves keeps them from sliding around and they rotate with my hands. A big plus: the thin, soft synthetic lining inside the jacket gives it the benefits of wool without being itchy. It's warm, mildly wind-resistant, and I really like having the hood for when it gets chilly. Super versatile - I have worn this thing on a weekend backpacking trip in NC and to bars with my friends. Wouldn't change anything about it!

I used the free shipping on this jacket, that's supposed to take 10+ days, but yeah i got it in 2!!! and this thing totally rocks. comfy and great looking, i am a very fit guy, with a slim waist. This was the Hoodie/Jacket of my dreams, XL fits my chest fine and the slim taper waist fits great. LOVE IT LOVE IT. Backcountry.com rocks!

This is a great fitted jacket that can be used as a base layer or outerwear. The last poster said it fit a little big. I'm 6'2" and 220 and the large fits me great. Crafted very well.

A great jacket and I agree with the other reviewers that it is a bit on the tight side - I had to send mune back and get a larger size. I was out in New York at the weekend and I wasn't as warm in the jacket as I thought I would be - the wind just seems to cut right through it but it did keep the rain off. Very comfortable jacket and cool looking

This jacket is awesome, the only problem you might experience with it is sizing, I'm 6'1 175 and the large was just a bit too big for me, but I have a smaller upper build and like my jackets a little tighter. So if you're in this range you have to figure in how big your build is and how tight you like your jackets/if you plan on layering under the jacket or over the jacket. The branding on it is great, a cool goat logo that's not too big or flashy is the perfect addition to this wool hooded jacket.

I'm 6'1" and 175 lbs, large fits me perfect. I had to exchange the medium I ordered originally because it was way too tight across the chest (my chest measurement is ~39 inches if that helps at all). The large is still on the form-fitting side, but that's good if you like your clothes that way. This is a great jacket- it looks nice but not too nice, if that makes any sense at all.

I was so bummed. I am an XL in Arcteryx, westcomb jackets and XL in other backcountry shirts, but this I can barely fit in the XL! So sad... maybe I need to lose some weight anyways. Good thing they have XXL. The wool on the outside is really nice touch, and yes will get all baled up under the arms, but it is cool I think. The fleece on the inside is so deceiving. The wool on the outside is no merino and looks like you can use it for sandpaper, but then you put your arms in and it feels like a bed of soft... fleece. The hood is bomber and has plenty of room, not helmet worthy but nice. It is a more stylish item than a technical peice but would keep plenty warm under a shell regardless. I think the best part is the goat. Backcountry does a great job of not plastering their name everywhere, but a simple little goat on the collar. Classy!

I wore this jacket all last year and it is a great jacket. I am 5'11'' and about 180 and the medium fit snuggly. Almost too snug but this thing moves pretty well. The length is perfect for me. If you're taller, go with a large. I think it looks distinctive in that it really looks more formal then your run-of-the-mill hoody or North Face fleece. Very clean. Its warm for sure. The wool is even pretty durable although not waterproof at all. I tried to wear it to work but I noticed the lining would leave lint on a dress shirt and continued to do so even after being cleaned. It was also snug enough to wrinkle whatever I had underneath. I the end, its perfect for your general messing around outdoors and car camping. Can't wear it to work and its not technical enough to wear skiing, hiking, etc.

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
