CONDOR

Fantastic fleece. Bought the Condor Summit Jacket recently and didn't listen to the reviews about it running small. I traditionally fit XXL. For the Condor Fleece, I paid attention to the reviews and ordered the XXXL. It fit perfectly. The fit of the jacket is much better for my ample girth (fat gut) so it looks better on me than the Summit Jacket does. Great quality and great build. Good zippers. Love the hook and loop on the sleeves. Fit: the XXXL fits me spot on (typically a XXL). Sleeves are almost too long, but not quite. The tapering on the sleeves keeps them from sliding over my hands. The glove extensions (where you can slip your thumbs in to, and cover part of the hand with the jacket) is absolutely great. Coupled with gloves it is dang near impossible to slip cold air in. Neck fits perfectly and there is plenty in terms of range of motion. The girth fit much better than the Summit Jacket does. One of my better fitting jackets. Quality: Condor has undoubtedly upped their game in QC. Fleece is good quality. We will see how it does with pilling. Zippers are YKK which are some of the best in my opinion. Stitching is good or excellent depending on where you are looking. Practical Use: she's a great fleece. The pockets are excellent and a-plenty. It' is warm and the upper part of the jacket is not fleece so it can resist some moisture. This is not a rain jacket, but light rain and snow will not be an issue. Warmth is very good. I've worn it down to 28 degrees (hard/moist cold) outside and it did well. If I was going to stay in that weather for any length of time I would use it as a base-layer and put the Condor Summit jacket over it. I love the extended thumb slots and couple with gloves really well. Overall, I highly recommend it. Heed the warnings about size and I suspect you will love this fleece.

I recently got this black fleece Condor jacket, and I’m thrilled with it. The fit is spot-on – it’s comfortable without being too loose, and the cut gives it a great look. The construction feels high-quality, from the fabric to the stitching. The fleece is warm and soft, perfect for cooler weather, and the black color looks sleek and versatile. Overall, I’m really impressed with the quality and design of this jacket.

I was looking to replace my old ECWCS fleece that was beginning to show signs of age (holes in pockets, pilling on the exterior, etc) so I started looking for a suitable replacement. My research kept coming up with great reviews for the Condor Alpha fleece. The price was VERY reasonable so I ordered. My package arrived 2 business days after I ordered it - on Christmas eve. I am a bigger guy - 6ft and 240 lbs - but I didn't like the loose and bulky fit of my old fleece so I ordered an XL in black. The Condor is a very good fit for me, even with all the crap I have stuffed into the pockets - just snug enough to wear as a layer under a water/wind proof shell or heavier coat if needed. I like that the back side of the jacket is a little longer than the front so that it doesn't ride up and expose your back to the cold when you bend over. That being said, I would like it a bit longer all around so if you're tall, you might want to order one size larger. The sleeves are the perfect length for me and don't limit the ability to bend my arms when I use the thumb holes. Pros: - Warm. I wore this out of the box, for an hour long walk at dusk on Christmas eve with just a long sleeve t-shirt underneath. It kept me warm the whole time. The wind block on the zipper was very effective.The extended sleeves with thumb holes are a nice feature. - Seems well constructed. The fleece is very tight. Zippers don't seem to be super heavy duty but I haven't had any issues so far. - Pockets! There are 4 exterior pockets and two interior. I love the sleeve and chest pockets - perfect for a cell phone. Both of these have headphone passthroughs so you can carry your cell phone or radio in an interior pocket and route the wire(s) without getting tangled in them. The interior pockets are well designed so that stuff won't be falling out if you're moving around a lot. For daily use I carry my wallet, a bluetooth earpiece, a fleece watch cap and a glasses case with some micro "survival" gear and it all fits with no problems. Cons: - A little on the short side. As I said, if you're tall, you may want to order a size up for the lower torso and sleeve length. - No arm pit zippers. I loved the pit zippers on my old fleece but they did let the wind in on really cold days so this could be a positive feature as well. It would be nice to cool things down a bit when things start to heat up. I wear this every day and so far, I'm very happy with this fleece.

Excellent to outstanding outer fleece. I’m 5’10” (used to be 5’11.5” thank you Marine Corps) and about 180 lbs. I’ve worn a lot of kit in 30 yrs with USMC in almost every conflict we have been privileged to be a part of since 1990. This is an outstanding piece of equipment especially if paired with Condor’s grid fleece. This is not a FROG garment, be advised. Price point, quality, functionality, and features are best in class. I wear a large T-shirt but have a larger chest than normal so have trouble finding things I can wear especially with under layers. This jacket fits fine as a large with room for layers underneath. If you are new to tactical clothing, don’t size yourself on the new “skinny fit scale” that seems to be the norm today for folks who don’t darken the gym door. Think: “what fit do I need to move, shoot (yes, get into some dynamic poses), and layer”. This jacket fits the mission profile. Good features. Extendable sleeves handy when you pile on layers. One drawback: made in China. Love Condor. Love their guys (talked at length at the 2020 SHOT Show.). Must figure out how to make your superior designs in, at least, Vietnam (used to do negotiations with the Vietnamese Joint Staff 2010 to 2011...good folks). I will seek out other Condor products in the future as they are combat oriented whereas 5.11 (love them) tend to be my go to for concealed carry...they are somewhat “contractor” and law enforcement oriented in my assessment but make good products. Condor is not Crye Precision (clothing) class but make a good, sturdy product you can train in with confidence, at least in this great jacket.

Hello potential Condor Alpha Micro Fleece Jacket purchasers. I purchased this fleece to wear as a inner layer while performing my duties in Law Enforcement. I had also purchased the Condor Summit Shell eariler this year for casual wear. I had looked at purchasing a fleece during that time but did not want the same style fleece as the Condor Summit at that time. Nevertheless, after buying several other fleece jackets not to mention by name, I was dissatisfied with the quality and or comfort. I continued my search looking for even more high-end fleece. I am 6'1 1/2" tall approximately 280lbs. I decided to reconsider purchasing the Condor Alpha fleece No:601 after searching and could not find those I felt may fit properly after my two failed attempts. Again, it's late in the season and hard to find XXXL in that size or the color Black no matter the price. With a few cold days left in the season, I decided to reconsider the Condor fleece I had past up earlier. Let me begin by saying that I should have purchased it first and would not have experienced my continuous let downs until now. The fleece is awesome not to repeat all of the pros and cons mentioned from reviews read during my research. The one thing I experienced with this jacket that forced me to make alterations was the sleeves. The lenght of the sleeves are fine with the extensions in or out, in fact I really like the concept. The only problem I had with that was that the extension is too stiff and hard to fold back under the sleeve when not in use. They have a tendency to push out when pushing your arm and hand through when putting on the jacket. In my case, the sleeves were long enough without the extensions so I cut them off. Yes, you heard correct, I cut them off. The extension portion also interfered with the wearing of my watches which needs to be considered. I also removed the Velcro pads from the sleeves as I have no intention of ever using them for any reason. With that being said this jacket is exactly what I was looking for. The price was right for this jacket that I would have paid double the price now that I'm fully aware of what I've received. I hope I was helpful. Thanks for listening. Since my original post regarding my very first purchase of a Black jacket, I have since taken both jackets to the cleaners where a had the sleeves professionally tailored. These jacket are the best bar none.

I bought this just as something to wear for outdoor activities that I really didn't care what happened to. After getting it (on time), I really began liking it and actually wear it all the time. The seems and stitching are all very well done, the two-way zipper is nice and robust enough to handle some abuse. I love the pockets, which there are plenty of, especially the one on the sleeve that you can get to if you're wearing a vest or body armor. The fleece is actually really nice and much better than I expected from Condor, no piling or fuzz balls. Honestly I was really reluctant to buy anything from Condor, but of all things, a review by Nutnfancy on Youtube sold me on giving it a try and I'm very glad I did. If you want an in-depth video review: [...] it's about 14 minutes long and worth the watch if you're ify on considering this jacket. Overall, I would recommend this for anyone short of deploying soldiers. There are two things to keep in mind about this jacket: 1. It runs a size small, easily. I'm 6'4" and 250 pounds and I usually wear a 2X at most, mostly because the arms are never long enough. I bought a 3X and it fits perfectly. 2. The fleece, as nice as it is, does not contain any sort of windproof membrane. This should be expected as you will not find a fleece jacket with one for $50. I actually find this kind of nice because it lets it breathe pretty easy (there are no 'pit-zips') and it doesn't get too hot. Oh, in the description there is the option for a Tan and a Coyote Brown...this is misleading, there is no Tan. Both options are actually Coyote Brown. Other than that, this is a great jacket and easily worth $50. I am actually going to buy one for my son and prolly another one for me to keep in my vehicle.

Here is an idea, instead of leaving a review that states "I love it, it fits me perfect" how about give a couple clues to your size and build? Ok? So at any rate, the product is a nice jacket and seems well built. No for the important part. I am 6' tall and 240lbs. I would say I have a very stalky build with a slight belly. I usually wear XL in just about everything so after reading a few reviews about this jacket running small I ordered the XXL. Not to my surprise it is very snug, so much so that I am returning it because anything other than a t-shirt underneath would be uncomfortable. Without knowing the size I would have tried this on and said it was a tight XL. Also, it is very short, I would like it to have came slightly below my belt but it stopped just at the top of my belt. Sleeves felt just slightly too long but I could have managed if it had fit elsewhere. So anyways I hope that helps some of you larger guys make an informed decision, I thought the jacket was nice and wished it had a better fitment.

I work in a flight-line (like an airport) environment in Washington state where its seldom warm or dry enough to go without some kind of outer clothing. I was searching for something better than a sweatshirt, but less than a winter jacket, something that had pockets, would keep me dry and warm but not be bulky. The Condor Micro Fleece fits that task with a 5-Star rating. It has on the left chest a zippered pocket that is durably designed. All of the zippers on this jacket are what I consider military grade- that is they aren't cheap. The left arm sleeve also has a zippered pocket- perfect for carrying a smart phone and employee ID badge.There are two waist level pockets- these are slip-u'r-hands-in out of the cold pockets. On the inside left is a 15 inch deep pocket. That's right....15 inches deep. It has about a 5.5inch mouth opening that is diagonal, but goes all the way down to the bottom of the jacket and feels as sturdy as the rest of the jacket. On the right inside is a 10 inch pocket that has a 6 inch mouth that is straight. On the left and right sleeve is a Velcro patch for insignia that measures 3.25" wide by 4" long. I wear a USA flag on the left, and a USMC eagle, globe and anchor on the right side. The elbows and forearm are protected by double-layered material. The cuffs are unique to me. They can be folded inside the jacket, or pulled out to go over gloves. And they have thumb hole to keep the cuff warmly around your hands.I am told that this is standard on most high-end winter coats. The idea is great. When you don't need the extra length, just a few seconds and you can tuck them back inside the arms of the coat. Brilliant. I've worn this in some heavy wind and rain. My legs and head got wet. This jacket does not absorb rain. It tends to bead up and fall off. It is not wind-proof though. I would say it is breeze-proof. Winds of 35mph cut through it. Winds around 10mph aren't a problem. I will be reviewing another jacket later on that takes care of the wind. This is a great option if you have to be exposed to inclimate weather for short periods. The functionality, and warmth give it 5 Stars. People ask me where I got it from a lot. It is just a nice jacket all around.
