5.11 makes quality stuff, for those who don't know, I admit I'm a bit of a 5.11 whore, I love all their gear. Anyway, I bought one of these to wear as an off duty jacket. Lots of pockets, which is nice, the QUIXIP quick access zipper is awesome, it makes drawing from a holster seamless and almost just as a fast as if the jacket wasn't covering the firearm. I bought the black one, so it does tend to show dust and dirt, but that's not its fault. I also have washed it once and it seems like a lot of the water repellent has come off, instead of ALL of the water beading off now it seems that only some of the water will bead off, I guess I'll have to rewaterproof it later on. The rear ID panel was a great feature, along with the waterproof zipper covers and there's a nice amount of Velcro on the arms for unit patches. My only gripe, it is NOT warm, I highly recommend you layer if you plan on wearing this jacket in 40 degree weather and under, you'd think a $250 jacket would give you some warmth but nah this jacket only keeps your dry not warm.

Overall, its a great jacket, not perfect though. The quick access zipper is ridiculously awesome, however it's a light jacket so it won't keep you very warm.
