Review for model:

I am completely satisfied with this jacket – great color, size M fits me perfectly, it protects very well against rain, and the removable hood option is a great solution. I definitely recommend it!

A few days ago, I bought this jacket and an additional fleece. Today we were at the seaside. The temperature was -10°C, the wind about 5 km/h. Underneath, I also had another fleece and a T-shirt, and I was cold. I wanted to get back to the car as soon as possible. I was guided by the description when buying. I felt very uncomfortable. I have had better experiences with cheaper jackets. I would be afraid to go out in it at -20°C.

I don’t know if the waterproof rating is 5000, but on the plus side, it dries quickly. For this price, I do not recommend it. It does protect from the wind, but the jacket, or rather “life jackets”, also has a big downside because it’s cold.

Exceptionally technical jacket, waterproof and windproof, high quality workmanship. You need a fleece or a shirt / base layer underneath. Sizing is okay. I recommend it!

Very good, solid jacket. Protects well against rain and wind. Combo with Texar Aventor fleece – great. Rustles a bit. Really worth it. I recommend it.

I recommend it to everyone, the jacket matches the description, it's light and functional, very comfortable to wear, waterproofness with the breathable membrane 100%, perfect camo. I recommend it to everyone.

Great jacket, at first glance there's no difference between the Ceratex resort type. The materials used are definitely better quality than the resort's Cersteks. The sizing is a bit specific; I usually wear L, but had to swap for an XL here.

Hello. I bought this jacket on sale. I’m satisfied so far. Comfortable and lots of pockets. Haven’t tested it in the rain yet, only when it was windy. It protects well and the camouflage pattern is great. I recommend it.

Good evening! I approached buying this model of jacket twice, even though I read all the reviews about the sizing and durability of this jacket in different weather conditions, I still bought the wrong size! Specifically, I'm referring to the sizing! I am about 190 cm tall and 116 cm in chest circumference, plus 101 kg in weight without clothes! For these measurements, the 3XL jacket turned out to be a bit tight and also too short! During the first try-on with a thinner fleece, I already felt something was off! And when I wore my Helikon 2XL fleece under the Conger, it was tight, stuffy, and generally uncomfortable! I exchanged it for a 4XL and now it’s perfect! The back of the jacket covers my backside and it's comfortable, nothing annoys or bothers me! I chose Camo PL, although I usually prefer olive, but Camo PL is much more effective camouflage in the forest, making you almost invisible! If you care about time when exchanging for a bigger or smaller jacket, I recommend returning the item and buying another model immediately—you’ll save time! Militaria always delivers goods quickly and perfectly, but replacing an item with another can take up to two weeks! A lot has already been written about the jacket, but as for sizing, the descriptions were not specific, so I added my two cents! The jacket, when you touch it, doesn't feel like cellophane or like a typical rain jacket. It feels pleasant and strong to the touch, and finally, I found my size! I recommend the Texar Conger jacket and the store! Best regards to all!

This is the second opinion I’m sending, maybe this one will go through. The jacket is great, solid, with good ventilation which is important for such a durable piece. For me, it’s a bit too light but that’s a matter of preference. You can confidently push through thick brush, this jacket will definitely hold up. Size 4XL listed by the store is 140 cm chest. The tag says 130 cm… What a joke… If you don’t have size issues, I definitely recommend it.

The jacket is fantastic when combined with a Husky fleece, it even works on cold days. The sizing is a bit weird—you have to take one size up. At first, it's a bit stiff.

Very well sewn, completely waterproof and windproof, the hood is really too roomy but you'll appreciate it during a downpour because you can "adjust" it with the drawstrings. The jacket is indeed quite stiff—tarpaulin/wax-cloth like—but that's the price for waterproofness. The material is pleasant to the touch, reminiscent of cotton. Is it noisy? I think only minimally, no attention-grabbing. In rainy and windy weather you can forget about the weather conditions. Contrary to the opinion of some users, this is definitely not a winter jacket—it doesn't have any insulation. I ordered a dedicated fleece for it in the same size, but... it was too small for me in the chest, so I returned it. I recommend this jacket for every season except winter.

Great jacket. I can give an opinion blindly because I ordered this jacket and it hasn't arrived yet but it's already my third one and it's really worth it, solid, well protects from rain and fairly warm with the right fleece :) I gave away one of the previous ones and sold the other so no one would think it got destroyed because it’s really tough to destroy this jacket! I recommend it.

The jacket is light and comfortable, suitable for every season (in winter you can attach a fleece sweatshirt). It's a good alternative to membrane jackets and Gore-Tex. Spacious enough for EDC items.

Perfect for rain. It doesn’t let the wind through, comfortable to wear, ventilation under the arms allows temperature control and prevents sweating, delivery was prompt. Excellent material quality. Thank you for a wonderful product! I recommend it!
