Review for model:

Very good quality and a proper price-to-functionality ratio. The zippers and seams are well made, and the jacket itself has plenty of practical details, such as pockets and Velcro. The downside is the hood—even when hidden in the collar, it can be somewhat bothersome around the neck area. It’s also worth noting that the material is quite noisy when walking, so you’ll need to move more quietly when hunting. I’m 190 cm tall, weigh 92 kg (athletic build), and I ordered size L because I prefer more fitted jackets—the size fits fine, although the front is a bit short, which I don’t consider a flaw (people with a bit of a belly will fit as well).

This is a decent softshell jacket for people starting their adventure. It insulates heat well, is comfortable, flexible, and easily fits under a hardshell jacket. Its design is simpler than in more expensive versions, which may slightly affect wearing comfort, but it's not a big issue. It's great for occasional use or as a backup jacket.

The jacket is of excellent quality, has many pockets, and the hood can be concealed and rolled up. The camouflage looks great, and the price-to-quality ratio is very good. I am 1.72 m tall and weigh 72 kg – size M is perfect for me.

Yesterday I received a package: pants + softshell in the same camouflage. I have the same problem as with the pants—a strange cut that looks very bad on a slim person. It is not as fitted as, for example, the Highlander Outdoor Odin Softshell which I own. The sleeves are too wide and stick out at the shoulder blades. Maybe it would be okay if I stuffed a thick fleece under it....

Super jacket, the camouflage: Phantomleaf WASP I Z1B is really very nice. The jacket performs great in autumn. Rain is no threat to it, although you can impregnate it for better protection.

The XL jacket fits well on a height of 178, there is a bit of looseness, but that's what I wanted so it wouldn't be too tight. During the first try-on, I noticed that the Velcro on the sleeves is too close together, so it's not possible to tighten the sleeves much, and they're a bit loose, but they'll fit in the pockets :) The only downside I noticed is the lack of a loop to hang the jacket, so a hanger is needed.

It's actually pretty good for Mil-Tec. For me, the jacket is very warm; I've already been wearing it all winter and haven't once needed a sweatshirt, just a T-shirt. The water resistance is average. It's more like it repels water, but when I was out during a heavy storm it soaked through. The zippers are okay, but they sometimes get stuck. The worst problem is the Velcro on the sleeves, which wore out quickly—after about a week of use, the Velcro doesn't hold to tighten the cuffs. It doesn't bother me much, but it might annoy some people. The jacket itself isn't too breathable, but there are zippers under the armpits for ventilation.

I've had it for 2 days and already wear it everywhere. I put on a tactical sweatshirt with a stand-up collar underneath and even though it's around zero degrees, it's fine – of course, when I'm in motion. Great cut, pockets in several places, and excellent material make me feel really good in it. The soft fleece inside makes it very pleasant to the touch. I recommend it.

Great jacket: + light, warm, the color looks better than in the picture, waterproof so far - light rain, hidden hood - no hook for hanging it on a hook - velcro panels - if you don't want to attach a name, flags, etc., it would be nice to cover the panels with a patch in the color of the jacket, but such patches are missing.

I bought a larger size and now it fits perfectly; XXL is quite slim at the waist. I wore it while camping. It's not super warm but definitely solid. The camouflage is lighter than the pants. If you get the right size, it fits great like a fleece and looks really masculine.

The cut at the bottom is a bit strange—you might want to buy a bigger size, but otherwise it's a great jacket, waterproof, warm, and there's a nice trick with the hood that you can hide. It has large pockets and armpit openings.

Nice jacket for autumn. The fleece lining does its job. At 5 degrees outside, a T-shirt underneath is enough and it's really comfortable. The collar is a bit stiff because of the hood inside, but you can get used to it. Pockets are easily accessible. I recommend it.

Very well-sewn jacket, high-quality workmanship, good material. For a height of 175 cm, waist 102 cm, chest 108 cm, size XL fits perfectly. You can easily wear a sweatshirt or vest under the jacket.

After buying the same jacket in the Z1B camouflage version in size M, I bought another one, this time in Z3A and size L. That's because the medium is quite tight on me, so if I want to wear something warmer underneath I needed a bigger jacket. I'll add that the outer dimensions measured under the armpits are 59cmx2 for M and 62cmx2 for L. The size chart gives slightly understated values. The jackets are very well made, have lots of pockets, and the camouflage itself is just great.

Thank you for the quality product, everything arrived quickly, the size matches the size chart, the jacket protects well against wind and rain, and doesn't restrict movement! If you wear thermal underwear, it's also suitable for frosty weather!
