Honest review for Six footers; I ordered the 3.0 black in 2X. Took 3 weeks to come in!!! What the hell takes 3 Weeks anymore!! Looks good when I got it, but I can tell they do NOT love the tall man. My wife asked me if I was goin for the halter top look... the sleeves are short and my arm are not overly long for my frame. If I reach up with both my arms, you would see that this is not the hoodie for you. IMO, leave it for the little guys, Bearskin is aiming for the middle - do you really want an s-load of pockets??? Bruh.
Its "windproof" properties are not that good. After I bought it, I had it on in gusts of only 15-20mph with a temperature of 43°F and I could feel the wind on my back. It might be OK for anything under 15mph.
Just ordered this… I do a lot of outdoor hiking and camping. I’m hoping tactical hoodie does the job. Appreciate the review on the hoodie. BTW… I just subscribed to your channel.
I based my purchase on your info I made a order mistake and no one answers the phone. There is no customer service Do you have a phone number. There are three options, 2 don't have anyone, just a recording
Had one for Christmas. Pockets galore! Wore it inside whilst running a few errands and it got me sweating so gives me high hopes for UK winter dog walks!
How are your high dog-walking hopes going in all the recent UK rain Mike? I assume you too have found you really do need a water and wind-proof outer layer on top of your 3.0 by which time things are getting pretty bulky and cumbersome. I’ve got to the point of thinking my 3.0 is really comfy indoors but an impractical disaster in the great outdoors - Scotland in my case. It seems crazy! I’m left feeling an absolute TWAT for falling for Baerskin’s advertising hype.
@@charlienairn783 definitely finding it very bulky and cumbersome with the extra layer. It’s bloody bitter out there right now here in Bristol, must be a lot worse where you are though!
@@mikewilcox ‘Pockets galore’ is true. So I thought that sounded good but in reality I find all those f-ing pockets a pain in the *rse. I can never remember what I’ve put where and because some of the main pockets are back-to-back inside/outside the “pat” test doesn’t work. After some months, all-in-all I like the whole cumbersome Baerskin thing less-and-less by the day. And more-and-more I can understand the entirely-happy reviewer who said he’d now bought two Baerskin 3s, one to wear around the house by day and a second to wear in bed at night. Now THAT makes sense to me!
I ordered mine, and it took 11 days to be delivered, it was the wrong size so they got back to me in good time. I ordered the larger size and sent back the other one at my cost. now, I'm just waiting for a refund and the deliverey.
How long did it take you to receive your item? I ordered a little over a week ago and am a little worried it may have been a spoof site. I have a tracking number from China. I’m hoping it’s legit but also paid with a source I can easily get refunded with and choose a payment plan option as a backup.
This looks great! Ordered mine two weeks ago and still waiting. Tracking is silly because it tells you only that it’s gone from one non specific location to the next non specific location. For such a great item you’d think they’d be better with getting you your purchase. 🤷♀️
The plastic on the wrist should be replaced with the same kind of elastic strap they have in the hood, and around the waist I was wearing mine today, went to scratch my forehead and stuck the plastic thing in my eye because I didn’t know that it was not stuck to the Velcro.
Waterproof and windproof too. Neither of which the Baerskin 3.0 is - not even remotely! In wet Northern European climates it’s only useful indoors. Outdoors it needs a wind-and-waterproof layer on top if you’ve got one big enough - by which time it becomes a cumbersome, clumsy and impractical NIGHTMARE.
I contacted them and told them that some of you were having a hard time getting through to customer service. They are there and ready for any questions or concerns that you may have about your hoodie. Hope this helps
If it does it doesn't work! It's got VERY poor water-resistance compared to my faithful (and better) old North Face and Berghaus fleeces. I hadn't understood this and for Highland Scotland it's therefore pretty-much useless! Nor is it windproof-enough. Which in Scotland means you almost-always need an outer skin, by which time things are getting pretty bulky and inconvenient.
I was close to pulling the trigger on one of these, especially after hearing about the rain jacket version. Super glad for the few reviews I have found. The customer comments about the quality of the product and the standard of service delivered by the company sealed the deal for me. Hard pass.
Hi there, we are sad to hear that you got that impression about our company. We would like to clarify that we develop our outdoor garments with only the best quality materials, and we are committed to continuously improving our products based on previous customer feedback. Furthermore, rest assured that we are continuously improving our communications and processes so we can provide better service to our customers. We hope you give our store a chance soon. Best,
Yeah, elastic cuffs I don’t see that it needs anything at this point. Maybe ditch the back pockets but they are nice to keep gloves in. The new 3.0 is pretty awesome
Bullcarap, I bought one in 2022, took 3 months to arrive, and, just like it looks, it's not remotely windproof, about as much as a pair of running socks. They have the best marketing though. If some company can manage to actually come up with a fabric that's fleece, that addresses even the least amount of wind, they'll kill it for sure. I don't even mind paying 200 if I could, I've had Katmandu ($600) rain jacket, so I ain't cheap, but this company does not even return complaint emails.
Hi Scott, we are sorry to hear about your experience with our product. It sounds frustrating that it took so long to arrive and didn't live up to your expectations in terms of windproofing. It's definitely disappointing when a product doesn't meet its marketing claims. However, we would like to inform you that in the meantime, we have launched a new version of the BAERSkin hoodie, which addresses all the issues from our previous versions. We hope you will give it a try in the future! Best,
@eddiejr540 I know. Even Arc’Teryx LEAF...WTF. I can tell you that Beyond, Wild Things, and Prometheus Design still does US made - not every single piece but the outsourcing isn't China (I think...so far.)
It's just hyped marketing. No different to any other fleece of similar GSM in windproofing properties, for which merino wool always has the significantly upper hand (albeit heavier).
Stitching comes loose on all velcro patches including the wrist adjustments making this this terrible. Ive had mine for 5 months and im already looking to replace it with a better quality... just not worth the price... maybe if it was under 50 bucks or less i could get behind it but for something to last more than a year it is garbage
Don’t spend the money. The zipper was faulty and zero response to my concern!! So I’ll have to pay for a replacement zipper on a jacket I spent over 100 on
Ok so I'm gonna be honest it's got some flaws. First the pull string tabs are WORTHLESS! You pull them the slide right off even lightly snug slides off and the other issues is the cheap as hell velcro I've seen plenty and I mean plenty of velcro straps on cheaper jackets that still hold today unlike these that becomes frayed and floppy. Maybe the new rubber velcro tabs are good but if you are still using cheap velcro that won't even make a difference. This is an $80 hoodie at best. And another bad idea is the beanie it's so ugly and has the WHOLE BEARSKIN name on front that looks tacky when the beanie is already tacky. Then the long sleeve shirt they have the collar BACONS and nobody wants "BACON" collars. Yall need to do way better considering True Classic has far better shirts yall are asking to be mediocre
Wanted to order one but guess what, they don't ship to Alaska we are not part of the United States. Supposedly they have issues getting things here, I mean good grief it's called the US postal service they do a good job. Anyways they won't get my money!!
Hello! Unfortunately, we are currently experiencing some issues with shipping orders to Alaska. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

@@baerskintactical It doesn’t clarify anything AT ALL, Baerskin. What it does is make you/Baerskin seem slippery and evasive. I fell for your AVALANCHE of hype and, 3 months later, I feel like a TOTAL TWAT for having done so. After 3 month’s experience, I would now say that for working outside, at least in damp and windy Northern Europe, my Baerskin 3.0 is NOT REMOTELY AS GOOD or as PRACTICAL as my 15+ year-old North Face and Berghaus fleeces. Even its hood is just a cumbersome, oversized and ineffectual pain-in-the-ass. I’m beginning to ‘hate’ it.
Hi @@davidhunternyc1, we are sad that to hear that, however we will forward your suggestion to the relevant team as they are always working on improving our products. Best,
Should be under warranty…try reaching out to them to get your zippers replaced. Mine is still holding up and don’t see the upgraded 3.0 failing anytime soon

Got the soft shell fleece ! Got the vest ! Waiting for camo hoodie 3.0 and dark teal rain jacket ! Thank you ! Top review !
thanks, i was looking for a review before i bought one for my father for christmas.
It's as windproof as a screen door, in a hurricane.
Its "windproof" properties are not that good. After I bought it, I had it on in gusts of only 15-20mph with a temperature of 43°F and I could feel the wind on my back. It might be OK for anything under 15mph.
I’ve had a fleece for 2 years it’s nice, just ordered the waterproof softshell looking forward to trying it out.
Just ordered this… I do a lot of outdoor hiking and camping. I’m hoping tactical hoodie does the job.
Appreciate the review on the hoodie.
BTW… I just subscribed to your channel.
Awesome, thanks for chiming in. I appreciate you. You’re going to love it
Looks good on you bud ordered mine on thanks giving can't wait very exited
Thanks for the review!!!
Those rubber pull tabs on the sleeves wear out. Useless
Still waiting for 2 bearskin goodies ordered nearly 2 months ago. Where is my order?
I based my purchase on your info
I made a order mistake and no one answers the phone.
There is no customer service
Do you have a phone number. There are three options, 2 don't have anyone, just a recording
He said he emailed them, maybe try that route?
How did your attempts to reach out go?
Good info
Like to see the back pockets
Had one for Christmas. Pockets galore! Wore it inside whilst running a few errands and it got me sweating so gives me high hopes for UK winter dog walks!

What is your height and weight? I usually wear a xl, but you look about my size so I am wondering.
Please include your weight, hight and the size you are wearing..that helps

I hate velcro on sleeves. I know it sounds stupid but that killed it for me.
I hate velcro too. It sounds awful, gathers lint, and wears out.
You end up with grass fluff and god knows what in the dam stuff
Had an ad pop up on youtube just now watching another video. "Discounted" at $275....Was that for a different hoodie?
Ordered mine 5 weeks ago. Still have yet to see it. Must be backed up in China
Chinese made? Will not last quality is compromised already!

That's because it's coming from china
Has it arrived yet?
Yes finally it did. Took too long tho imo
@a1n1g1u1s I'm glad it finally arrived hope it was worth the wait 👍
“… such a great item?” What’s great about it? Do tell!
I also bought the bedroom slippers but there's no washing or drying instructions so please tell me how to clean and dry them ??
Just put them in the washing machine should be fine.
The plastic on the wrist should be replaced with the same kind of elastic strap they have in the hood, and around the waist I was wearing mine today, went to scratch my forehead and stuck the plastic thing in my eye because I didn’t know that it was not stuck to the Velcro.
ive asked them to change that
A hundred and fifty bucks for a hoodie is a little much
...I see them priced at 99 bucks right now. December 29, 2023
It's just a fleece.
I bought the 3.0 and it is comfortable...I definitely wish it was water proof especially since you can't put it in the dryer but I like the jacket.
Waterproof and windproof too. Neither of which the Baerskin 3.0 is - not even remotely! In wet Northern European climates it’s only useful indoors. Outdoors it needs a wind-and-waterproof layer on top if you’ve got one big enough - by which time it becomes a cumbersome, clumsy and impractical NIGHTMARE.

In the dryer and it's fine
I contacted them and told them that some of you were having a hard time getting through to customer service. They are there and ready for any questions or concerns that you may have about your hoodie. Hope this helps
I purchased one 12/3/23. Still have not heard from them on shipping or anything else. I've tried calling, CHATing emailing with no reply.
Did they give this hoodie to you or did you pay for it?
I’ve been waiting for weeks for a reply and nothing. Super disappointed
I'm sure you get treated a lot differently when they find out you have a CZcams channel. Using CZcamsrs is the modern way of advertising unfortunately
Post what email you contacted. Maybe some of us got scammed and that is what the issue is.
Does the jacket have any water resistance treatment?
If it does it doesn't work! It's got VERY poor water-resistance compared to my faithful (and better) old North Face and Berghaus fleeces.

Great review and great sunglasses! What are they?
Check my channel! I have a review on these shades! Thanks for your kind words my friend
@@TrailAndMountain Jesus...pushing those clicks for revenue, aren't you? How much did Bearskin pay you to hock their gear?
The velcro wears out too fast.
Elastic cuffs??
So the 3.0 will be the last model.
No improvements needed, right
Yeah, elastic cuffs I don’t see that it needs anything at this point. Maybe ditch the back pockets but they are nice to keep gloves in. The new 3.0 is pretty awesome
