Free Country  Commuter Soft-Shell Jacket - Men's

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Excellent product: They are lightweight and stretchy enough to move comfortably, Warm and dry jacket The material is great, professional and neutral medium weather coat. The material look and "feels fancy" Perfect fit for my body type, Fits true to size. I recommend this selection to everyone.

Pretty burly soft-shell; guessing the optimum temp range would be upper 20's to upper 50s but yet to be thoroughly tested. Has some features not mentioned, i.e. detachable hood, drawcord hem & hood to tighten things down, velcro cuff adjustments. Pockets are all secure and the hand pockets have some good depth to them to keep stuff from falling out easily. Got a size medium; excellent fit for me (5"10; 170 lbs). Not baggy but still some room to layer up a little.

A bit heavier than expected, but I will put that on me because I bought from the Jacket section rather than the Windbreaker section. The big problem is the strange fit. I bought a 2XL rather than an XL so that I could wear a sweater or sweatshirt under it. Tried it on with only a t-shirt. It fIt really nicely when I stood there. When I tried to lift my arms i could not. It was really tight in the armpits. If I had an athletic build, flat stomach and barrel chest, as opposed to my dad bod, it would have been worse. I will have to return.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This High Country will soon become a daily staple as weather gets cooler. The navy blue color looks incredibly sharp and pairs perfectly with everything. What completely won me over is the design. It is virtually weightless and effortlessly packable, yet shockingly durable against wind and light rain. Unlike other thin jackets, this one boasts tons of practical pocket space to secure all your essentials without adding bulky weight. From the premium zippers to the flawless stitching, the craftsmanship is top-tier. It offers amazing mobility while maintaining a clean, tailored fit. If you want a high-performance jacket that masterfully balances comfort, style, and utility, this is a must-have!

Disappointing. Obtained this jacket as a replacement for a 33 year old Patagonia that needs zipper repair, which may well not be possible. I wear a large and this jacket fits as a large should, except...There's not enough material under the armpits, so lifting my arms gets a lot more resistance and pull up on the jacket than normal when raising my arms. So much that at full vertical, the jacket is way up, unlike all my other jackets (I have a 34/35 sleeve length, so nothing unusual). I should note that the jacket also feels a bit heavier than one would expect for a soft shell. Shipping: I ordered two Free Country jackets at once. Since they were apparently shipped from the same REI location and at the same time, why not in one box? Using two boxes not only wasted material and REI's money, it gave USPS the opportunity to mess up with one of the shipments, holding one box back for a day along the way, even though they arrived at each postal warehouse at the same time, meaning the same truck, while being separated for reaching the final destination at the final step.

Love the jacket with exception of the hood. It really needs a means of adjusting the tear so it does not pull down over the eyes.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like the look and feel of this jacket. The way the hood sits is very pleasing to the eye when not in use. The adjustability of the jacket gives many options but still maintains a sleek look. The fit is great, though i would prefer it to have a bit more of a slimed look. Arms and length are perfect and true to size. The selection is amazing as they offer plenty of modern shades that add a nice touch. I also like that the piece is not over branded.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Extremely comfortable and fits very well. Nice mix between light / heavy. Works very well for cooler to cold temperatures. Quality is also good, seems sturdy and durable. Modern and stylish looks. Works for either a casual or slightly dressy look. The only downside was the velcro around the sleeve ends made the jacket feel slightly cheaper than the build quality suggested.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The jacket fits very well. My son said it looks like a fancy climbing jacket. I believe it would work well in that environment. The hood keeps the wind and water off of you. The well-sealed pockets stay dry and are well designed and placed. Very well made. It does what it should and looks good doing it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Good quality construction and materials! Nice fit and I look forward to cold weather (and a rain storm) to be able to really enjoy it! Good number of pockets and I like the ability to adjust cuffs at wrist! Comfortable to sit in and walk about in.
