I been buying Baerskin several years now. I work on the river. The 3.0 holds up well most of the winter months here in Pittsburgh. I switch to our float coats when the temps drop to single digits. When it really rains I slide a rain jacket over the 3.0. It doesn’t breathe like some other brands out there. I choose Baerskin because it’s rugged tough and I don’t mind getting it dirty just so long it keeps me warm and dry.

I am very interested in this combo setup. My biggest fear is sweating. Every rain jacket I have tried has cooked me out and made me as wet from sweating as much as the rain. I work outside a lot. So I am looking from something better then Walmart or the local farm store.
@OhioBladeandCutlery26 күн бұрын
Depending on how strenuous the work you are doing is, you may still have a sweating issue with the rain jacket. It doesn’t have pit vents, but I will say that I haven’t had any issues with heat/sweat just walking around and hiking. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching!

@@OhioBladeandCutlery Thank you for the reply. I am still tempted may just pick up the 4.0 and wait for 3.0 on the rain jacket.
@mikelittle5250Ай бұрын
I did order one. It's been a week, but I'm a gen X'er, and not freaking out about the wait. I think it looks durable for Upstate NY weather, and I walk literally everywhere everyday. My old Columbia Rain jacket also had the zip in fleece option, and that's about 35 years old, but it never kept out the rain very well. I really don't need all the pockets in the world, but I DO hope the hand pockets are deep. I CANNOT stand it when you buy a coat, and they barely give you room to fit your hands in your pockets in the cold, and forget it if you have gloves on as well. I think I'll be happy with this purchase, but it's a marketing joke...these things are ALWAYS 60% off. I'll bookmark this page to let you know when it comes in!!! Happy trails
@OhioBladeandCutleryАй бұрын
I’m a Gen X’er too (70’s baby). I’m surprised that it takes so long for it to ship, but hopefully you’ll get it soon. The waist pockets are generous, so I think you’ll be just fine there. When you get it and try it out, let me know what you think. Thanks for the comments and I appreciate you watching the video!

Thanks for your great detailed video in the beautiful woods! I am looking for the best quality of the waterproof rain JKT, and it should holding up really long time. But some folks are saying here some parts are missing? Really? I like Patagonia, but I think this is the best price point (with 60% off discount) for the waterproofing JKT. It also makes me wonder if the next version will coming out sooner…? I thought you can attach it to the 4.0 is a nice thing, but I don’t know if I need another fleece hoodie or not.
@OhioBladeandCutleryАй бұрын
I think this is excellent bang for your buck, I’ve been using the jacket a lot and love it. It’s already heavily discounted, but there should be a “60% off” button in the right side of the screen when you go to their website. In terms of people saying some parts are missing, I haven’t seen that myself, but you could always return it if there is something missing.

Hey @johnnyc8065, thanks for your comment. Here are the main differences between the 3.0 and the 4.0: - We have changed the design of the hood to match the design of the rain jacket - Unlike the 3.0 hoodie, the 4.0 hoodie does not have a 2-way zipper to match the rain jacket design as well - With the 4.0 we used 340gsm of double-sidedBÆRSkin™ MicroFleece while with 3.0 we only used 330 GSM - Only the BÆRSkin Hoodie 4.0 can zip into the Heavy-Storm Rain Jacket, due to its new chunky zip. Older models of the BÆRSkIn Hoodie cannot zip into the Heavy-Storm Rain Jacket. I hope this helps. Should you have further questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to get back to us. Cheers, Stephanie
