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

Super tactical looking and super stiff feeling. This jacket is AWESOME. It contains loads of straps and buckles, molle webbing all over, and zippered pockets everywhere.

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.

Quality of this jacket is superb! Very thick and heavy weight. Well worth the money!

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.

This jacket is awesome! Excellent durability, looks bad ass and has plenty of storage. I take very long hikes and needed a good waterproof durable jacket that could also carry a lot of gear in place of my chest rig. This definitely checked all the boxes. Love the additional webbing so I can attach extras depending on what I need that day. It is stiff at first but over time with usage becomes more flexible. Very happy with my purchase! If you’re thinking of buying one of these jackets I highly recommend that you pull that trigger!

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.

(Hubby review) Really rugged and tactical. Looks and fits like motorcycle jacket. Doesn't impede my pistol draw and I have plenty of room for movement. I'm 5' 10" 190lbs and the large fit me with very little room for more than a polo underneath it. I paired it with the pants and they match perfectly. So glad I finally pulled the trigger on this jacket.

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.
