ive had mine since they came out, they are great for the price. not 100% waterproof, i wouldnt expect it to keep me dry in a downpour but its aces for average rain.

I'll I don't own one myself, I've heard from Jewish Ninja and Limpy that they're amazing. Intending to get one for Christmas.

Two Jews can't be wrong They are great jackets for the price. They do run smaller than regular jackets and you'll have an occasional stray thread otherwise go for it!

[Mini-Marine]

Make that three Jews giving it the thumbs up.

I haven't had mine for long, but I've been very happy with it thus far.

[Dukky]

Put simply, they're pretty amazing. I'd recommend them any day.

[Stanson]

I've had mine now for a few months and I too think it is amazing. Had a few repairs on it and it still functions and looks great! Overall awesome buy.

I have two. They are great for moderately cold weather and light rain. They don't have a hood so water does leak down onto your shoulders and neck. That can be avoided with a proper rain hat and not a baseball cap like I usually wear. You will find that it is too warm for any kind of weather in the 60s, and you will need extra under layers for weather below freezing. UNLESS you are doing a lot of movement.

They are worth the money if you want something that functions well AND looks cool. They are the Swiss Army Knife of jackets, what can I say?

[Tombstone]

So Bigfoot, you have the new model, the one without the built in hood? I'd like to know if Condor's quality level is staying constant since I bought mine.

I bought mine a few days after Beran bought his (peer pressure) and have since worn it daily in the rain, sleet, snow, and hail. I've summit ed Mt. Chokai and Mt. Taihei wearing it, and took a series of nasty spills with it on. I've had zero issues with it.

I'll echo what everybody else says though. They run a bit small, and you should get a size up from what you normally wear so you can layer underneath it. It is not waterproof, but it will keep you dry and warm for just about anything short of sitting around outside.

Worth the Skrilla, I might even buy a second one.

almost everyone on sota has one. I really enjoy mine

Wore mine yesterday in the tsunami at Santa's war. It seemed to leak down the neck and through the zippers, although I stayed plenty warm. High quality, great fit, great function. Looks cooler than cool, I wear it all the time.

What brand are the condor ones a knock off of or are they?

[Chachi]

I love mine in the short time I have had it (thanks Rick!). It got a major test yesterday, and performed fair in the worst of conditions. I was warm, but it took a beating in the rain. Not totally waterproof, but water resistant. I was thinking of trying a waterproof spray to maybe increase the ability shed the water off. But all in all, I love it. I am considering ordering a second one too.

from what ive seen its the zippers and seams that leak the worst, but id be interested to know if the waterproofing works out for you if you try it.
