Tactical Hoodie 4… tacti-COOL, or not too Cool? Answers right here!

[@MrSimonmcc]

The fact that Baerskin terminated their sponsorship with you speaks volumes. Enough to convince me to not buy one of these hoodies. Thank you for being honest.

[@ShepherdsSheepdog]

Nah. His review blows chunks.

[@greglisk9408]

Is this a review or a clown car video? It's cool to show us a long list of what stuff you have packed in the pockets, but what about the friggin hoodie??? I learned nothing about it. Is it warm, Is it too warm? how's the fit? is it comfortable? is it as thick as advertised? Is it as wind proof as advertised? Is it water resistant without the rain jacket? How adjustable is the hood without a baseball cap? How well do the wrist closures work? If I had hired you to review the product I'd fire you too!

@@greglisk9408 Thank you so much for watching! Your opinion matters to us.

Amazing video, I’m a gear head so I like these type of vids. Just a recommendation, don’t use deet unless in an emergency. I use parakito myself. It’s much safer and deet has been known to be a carcinogen and bad for environment too. Also instead of toilet paper I use wet wipes. It’s multi use, you can use to wipe hands after eating and also good to clean wounds if need be. Also it’s more compact. Can’t do that with paper.

[@CuttingBoardRx]

Great points! Thanks for sharing!

[@dongkhamet1351]

You are spot on. DEET was introduced during the Vietnam era because of shortages of citronella. DEET was found to be AS effective as an alternative insect repellent - but since it also kills you and melts your CASIO watchstrap in the meantime, I'd go with the citronella.

[@kush662]

@@CuttingBoardRx I can do a hour long video of wet wipes uses. I’ll list a few and depending on brands, I’ve seen people tie few of em together to make makeshift bandages, I’ve seen people wear em around their head like bandana to cool off in hot AZ summer, use it as shower replacement on hot day hike, use it to tie tents pegs, can use to wipe car seats after muddy hike trips, clean knives tools utensils and firearms on trip, some brands can burn well to start fire, wipe down park benches, good for ladies and infants for hygiene. All meanwhile conserving your water(which is most important) and comes in a weatherproof packet of various sizes. Wet toilet paper is basically of no use. I swear I am not a salesman for the wet wipes industry. Haha

[@rastan5704]

Did they at least fix the pockets? I got the original and it was a good jacket except the pocket linings were so thin and see through that anything you put in them immediately ripped a hole in it.

[@wc5839]

What makes this jacket tactical is that is has a lot of pockets?

[@CuttingBoardRx]

@@wc5839 Marketing. If they called it a “Baerskin fluffy velvety daytime pajama” they probably wouldn’t sell a lot of them…

"I find this to be a mid-grade and somewhat gimmicky product." 😂

[@queenshortie6902]

I love my 3.0 but seems the new one pause the shell ain't worth it 😢 thank you forbthe video

[@CuttingBoardRx]

@@queenshortie6902 I’m actually flipped the other way: I couldn’t stand the hoodie, but actually like the shell. I’m very weight-concerned and the hoodie is just too heavy and bulky to travel with.

[@robertwest7197]

Good info friend. I wade in rivers during the winter and fly fish for steelhead, pretty extreme conditions for most people especially after 8 or more hours on the river. I’ve been looking at this jacket and wondering if it would be a good mid layer.

[@CuttingBoardRx]

They made the zipper area so thick on the fleece, it’s very uncomfortable in the chin area when you zip it up all the way. It also makes it nearly impossible to wear two garments zipped together.

[@ukvoyager66]

Note how they say you can return for an exchange..refund not mentioned anywhere🤔..and for that reason Im out🧐

[@CuttingBoardRx]

It’s overpriced by about $100. Should be a 40 -60 dollar item

[@freestatefellow]

Ha! Got an ad for the product before the video.

[@sonnymontigny4733]

I guess it's just a review about pockets! 😂 I tune in to review videos sometimes, but it's only to get a good look at the product, not necessarily to go by what they say, good, or bad! I usually decide for myself, what might not work for some people, might be good for others. 🤷

[@deepskywishingwell2602]

Pockets are not tactical, fleece is fleece. If you want fleece shop Walmart , Kohls, Burlington, or Old Navy. If you want tactical shop any of various ballistic plate company’s , or LEO , and military equipment shops If you want tough fleece , look at hunting outlets , Kuii, First Light, or Cabela’s. This is not worth the price

[@CuttingBoardRx]

Agree

[@Luvacanuck]

Dec2024…first ad, when I started the video, was Baerskin hoodie commercial. So….

[@CuttingBoardRx]

@@Luvacanuck Algorithm. Keywords. An even more annoying commercial is the one with a bearded guy wielding a cleaver.

[@Luvacanuck]

@ Ah, that’s why. I thought, perhaps they had reconsidered their petty decision. Thank you, cheers! (Ps-I’ll look up the other one you mentioned…love being annoyed by sales pitches! Lol)

[@ras9182]

Im spammed continually by this brand. My initial reaction was "I hate reviews like this" but after watching it you gave a good overview of the hoody from a user's perspective. Not a fan of the video but it could be useful for some people.

[@CuttingBoardRx]

@@ras9182 I’m not a fan of this video myself. Felt too much like a job and I was bored out of my scull working on it!

[@Papahawkeye31]

@@CuttingBoardRx That very well could be why the terminated the sponsorship. I follow tons of people that haven't agreed with the product that they were given to review but non of them gave off a "I don't want to be doing this" and the certainly don't do something like the hot dog thing at the end which was pretty much making fun of the company/product. You'd fire someone to if they did that to you. Your over all review of the hoodie was good and had good point but instead of making fun of it you should have given some "these are some things I would change".

[@CuttingBoardRx]

@@Papahawkeye31 what you aren’t computing is that I am not trying to make money from sponsorships. I don’t provide affiliate links to the products I review, I do not accept payments from companies and give free merchandise away after reviewing it.

[@nickroberts6964]

I am disappointed and wondering how so many reviewers can comment that this is such great product quality, where neither quality nor service exists. They look cool but the military look is all in your imagination, but it's just basic fleece material, no cool technology here, no protection against the rain or snow. No wind protection, not warm at all, you cannot get it wet or it will lose what little insulating factor it might have had. Buying a cheap hoodie will keep you warmer and protected better than this will. It's a good thing they dropped you. They say you're judged by the company you keep, and you don't want to be associated with the Baerskin con artists.

[@CuttingBoardRx]

@@nickroberts6964 the funniest part is after 65% off it is still $170. That’s top brand pricing!

[@jameslewis8879]

Buyer beware. Don't buy. Shipping is 3 weeks plus

[@Papahawkeye31]

Sooo the whole hot dog thing is more than likely while they terminated their sponsorship. It's one thing to say "no I wouldn't take a it hiking" and then give some constructive criticism. But the hot dog thing was pretty much making fun of your employer. And yes and a sponsor they are pretty much one of your employers.

[@CuttingBoardRx]

@@Papahawkeye31 oh, please! Who would possibly take a product like this seriously?

[@ShepherdsSheepdog]

I really like my Baerskin hoodies. Ive got gen 3 & 4. They are some of my favorite outerwear - great quality. That said, CS is non-effing-existent. They will NOT answer email or phone. And 2 week order fulfillment times? In 2024? Laughably abysmal. Those aspects suck ALMOST as badly as your review. Dont quit your day job.

[@CuttingBoardRx]

@@ShepherdsSheepdogThanks for watching! God Bless!

[@CrazennCajunn]

Honestly man, you spent so much time just talking about what you put in your pockets that i still dont know much about the product other than they arent mil spec colors. Which is normal for a non milspec company. Most people just get these cheap jackets for casual walking or being outside. Get a condor or columbia for more searious hiking

[@CuttingBoardRx]

@@CrazennCajunn Cheap? This thing is $160!!! I wear Küll btw. Columbia and North Face turned into junk lately. And I’m a knife reviewer, WTF else would I talk about? Дерьмо это а не куртка. Дерьмо.

[@justinstubbs9349]

Just thinking that. I'm sitting outside and it's about 45 and I have a underarmor beanie and a Columbia ¾ zip hoodie and I'm comfortable. If it rains I have a gore-tex military rain coat I got for 65 dollars at surplus. If it is really cold the military was smart enough for a insulated insert, though in SC I've never needed it much.

[@CuttingBoardRx]

@justinstubbs9349 SC weather is about all that Baerskin could handle. The wind blows through it likely a sift
