For the past month or so you have done an awesome review on literally every peice if gear I've been intrested in. Subscribed!! Keep em coming!
Sweet jacket. That thing's got enough storage to be a modernized survival smock! Awesome! Thanks for sharing!
You should do more videos. You are thorough and clear and details oriented. Not to mention the advise you gave along the demo. Thanks!
WOW! Thank you for the preview. Excellent!!! THANK YOU!!
Excellent review, perfect explanation, sir thank you very much, you can teach others how to review simple complete and concise.
Nice jacket I've been looking for a tactical jacket and this is the one thanks for your preview.
This guy's voice is so smooth I'm ready to buy this jacket and anything else he's selling
Thank you for the recommendation amigo! I will check that out now.
Awesome jacket great "preview"!! Guess I have to snatch one up myself and try it out.
Very true my friend! I've heard that they make a great fleece as well. Might have to look into that.
Thanks amigo. I will pay extra attention to these for you.
Cool jacket and cool video Luke!
Excellent tip my friend! Thank you.
Seems like a good alternative to ridiculously expensive softshell options like Marmot, North Face, or Mountain Hardware. Every time I see one of these, I want one. ;) My experience with Condor stuff has generally been that they are a great deal. I bet this would make a great winter shell for a micro down jacket (speaking of ridiculously expensive gear!). Thanks for the "preview."
Best of all the Summit reviews. The coyote really looks like some of the milspec Arc Teryx shells. I have a sidewinder, interested to see how this compares to it.
all ready have it on my wish list
awesome review
Thanks Devon!
Really appreciate that buddy!!
I have uad my Summitt for about a year now, everything has held up well. One thing worth noting, that back pocket is mesh lined, when I get hot, unzipping that pocket helps a lot.
It's all about the layers! Be well brother.
Good preview. I've been wondering about getting one my only problem is I usually take XXL but I seen some I need a XXXL especially if I'm layering. Thanks you've helped.
I'd love to reply to some of these comments but due to the 'awesome' changes on youtube I can't do that.
The original of this was designed by TAD(Triple Aught Design) which sells for $200.-(online)
Condor Jacket can be bought at about $90.-
You can buy Chinese version at about $35.- in Ali(express).
They all are probably made in China, possibly in the same factory.
TAD is made in the USA tho
There's also a russian made
very nice
Thank you Luke😺
Gracias. Me ayudaste a decidirme por este modelo
Good review, another thing to add to the wish list! Could you do a video on proper backpack load distribution. A simple video on how to pack a backpack thanks.
Good review
very good review
Hi just got this jkt in coyote today. Couldnt decide whether to get medium or large but went with med in the end as although i layer underneath the large would have been imo too big. Iv got the rothco jkt which is essentially the same BUT the hoid on this rolls into the collar perfectly whereas the rothco one is just too bulky. Also the fleece seems thicker on the condor. Nice review by the way !
cool video bro thanks!!!!
Oh, hey, here is one task to pay attention to. The elastic cords ( at the waist and for hood adjustment ). I would like to know how those hold up, but it needs a longer term wearing, like a 6 months to year to notice something. Thank You for this great video.
Hey Luke,
Thank you so much for your review about this softshell.
I'm from Europe and I'm looking for a Softshell who can bear our Spring and Fall weather. Something handy, not bulky.
Great job about Pros and cons.
Just one question: About size, as I'm not really used to US size.
Does it Size big or not?
I'm Chest 109cm (43 in), Back length 65cm (25in) ...
Thank you greatly. ;)
awesome softshell jacket the best of the best
That's because you have good tastes!
hi
i bought me one of these after looking your review. I had the same problem with the zipper, and thats really annoying, when its otherwise a good jacket.
How does Your Gore-Tex DCU work over this jacket for cold/rain/windy/ sleet crap days? I have this jacket and I did order the DCU after watching your vid. Great work !
It turns out that my son uses Camtasia all the time so he's been showing me a little about it. I have been using an editor called Final Cut Pro. Not to bad.
I own 2 of these Softshells, got the black and olive green colors. I suggest purchasing them on uscav.com. I might purchase this color you have on your vid, great video by the way!
pretty sweet jacket, thanks bro
Thank you Rich.
Can you recommend a similar tactical softshell jacket but with a more slim fitting thru the arms? All the tactical jackets I've seen pretty much have baggy sleeves.
Nice jacket which make this video cool but prevent you from the cold weather. Just like to find out could you do a video on your camera gear. Thanks
You are welcome good buddy. ;)
I've made a note and I will get that done for you pal.
Great video! can you please tell us your Height and Weight and what size jacket are u wearing?
Just about to purchase the summit zero... Wondering what size jacket you're wearing there. What height are you, i'm sure you mentioned it in a past video. Thanks
@TheOutdoorGearReview what size jacket are you wearing?
I own the PHANTOM. I've often wondered how durable it is. Is it as durable as the U.S. military's ECWS parka?
I love my jacket but the zippers sometimes get a little janky when zipping up but a quick note is that you have figure out the trick to zipping it up but you should buy this jacket
I have one on my channel actually but I could film an updated version for you
I will have it 11-8-13
correct if I'm wrong but are the front pockets so you can get to them while wearing a plate carrier?
ollietheocta I couldn't say to be honest. I have no experience with plate carriers.
- Luke
Hmmm, I could do that.
what colour which you wear sir?
Remember to talk about the sizing!
"Of course" "of course"
I have the same model from pentagon. Its nice and strechy but when there is a lot of moisture in the atmosphere and cold its really cold inside anybody with the same problem?
Hello! What is your height and weight and the size of this jacket? Thank you!
Small for myself. You may want to size up for laying purposes.
TheOutdoorGearReview What size recommend FOR 180cm and 75kg?
You can find the dimensions here: condoroutdoor.com/summit-softshell-jacket.html
Just ordered mine. I noticed your wrist cuff rubber velcro is not black and is a solid tab unlike the other summits reviewed on line and even the one on condor outdoor's website. When and where did you get that from?Yours is way better and i will be very dissapointed if i get a different outdated tab on the wrist velcro. Good review, i hope i'll be just as satisfied when i get mine.
Hey there brother, I got mine off of Amazon. Did you receive your jacket? Was it the same or different?
What size did you get?
Does it run small
windproof?
Looking to get my shtf loadout for ND/MN area with hot tent. Trying to keep as lite and packable as possible, so far I have a 250 merino base a 700 down and hardshell. Now trying to decide which would be better mid layer for chores, hunting, etc. Fleece or softshell? I'm leaning towards fleece since I already have a hardshell and fleece would be more stealthy for hunting, better wear/tear resistance, warmer and breathable, while being more bulky and heavier.
Would a 250 base be warm enough down to 15-20deg with condor softshell?
Also looking for others to team with as I'm thus far a solo prepper with plate carrier, coms, NV and thermal, mawl, modlite, etc. Looking for equally serious individuals to team with in eastern ND and western MN.
How are things going?
i really like this jacket i read about that and i think i very good jacket...
good video my friend...
and tell me what size did you use in the video and how tall are you?
thank you
Hey there Samuel, I'm 5'4 and I got the small size. Perfect fit for me.
Take care and be well.
-Luke
1.70 m?
Order it big. Its Asia sizing. Also make sure it's not on clearance. You won't get any help if you think your getting the size you want from USA.
That was a great review so I shouldn't expect any surprises; I'm going to pick one up from Evike.com right now!
just got my jacket. Just to let you know you should order 1 size larger than you normally do.
If I have the med fleece, do I need an xtra-large to go over it?
Is this small size? Or medium..? What's your weight and height? Plz reply.. thanks
My Condor Summit jacket became unwearable after the first wash.. So I contacted and corresponded with Condor staff for span of over a week and a half through plethora of emails and pictires.. After al that the company blamed the retail vendor for improper storage and told me that refused to warranty their product.. It was clearly a case of manufacturer defect. I would of thought that reputable company like Condor would stand by their their product and take care of their customers. Needless to say, I was quite flabbergasted..
If you like this jacket, try the alpha micro fleece jacket from Condor, very comfortable with the right amount of utility. I love mine.
I think I need to get a size up on the softshell though. I definitely wear a large in the micro fleece jacket but the softshell seems to be really tight under the arms in the Large. Probably need to go to a XL.
What size recommend FOR 180cm. 75kg?
L - Large - You can find the dimensions here: condoroutdoor.com/summit-softshell-jacket.html
Is there a website where I can buy this jacket? I don't live near a surplus or tactical wholesale store
You can find them on Amazon.
Hope that helps.
- Luke
You can order them off eBay to.
Would you possibly take a hatchet on your next trip hahaha ATB!

+TheOutdoorGearReview I will for sure man! it comes in couple days but I really like your video its the best view on this jacket I watch many video on it but this video is one by far the best video on it keep up the work.
+TheOutdoorGearReview just got my jacket in today and it was so worth the money!! I'm glad I bought it.
How is yours wearing? Mine lasted just over a month before it began to unstitch itself. What a disappointment!
777fuzzypeach So far so good with mine. I've been wearing it since the video and no issues to report. Have you checked on a replacement or refund?
Cheers.
- Luke
Nah, donated to Goodwill and bought an Otte Gear version. Far better in every way.
+777fuzzypeach Oh yeah, for the low low price of 260-360 dollars.
+777fuzzypeach lol you're such a shill it's pathetic how thinly you're veiling it.
+mackuss Glad to be of service. Speaking of pathetic...
Не чё так
TAD = so Expensive.
TAD gear can eat their Stealth hoodie
I had it for one year and after you need to through it out. such a waste of money becuase softshell is coming off and waterproof function is not anymore waterproof. SAD.
I ordered a black one yesterday. I hope your comment ain't true 🤔
Mine is still going strong even after all of this time, I did have to reapply the water repellant coating though but that is to be expected after all of these years.
Was yours a Condor? Maybe they changed something since my video went up.
