Hardscrabble Jacket
$209.99
If Jim Bridger were alive today, we’re certain the hardscrabble would be his go-to jacket. We bonded a micro-fleece liner to our ultra quiet MTN-X2 face fabric resulting in a hunting jacket that shines in the face of extreme elements, and allows the process of thermoregulation to thrive as you make those vertical ascents. When the thermals rise, reach for the dual pit zips to exhaust heat quickly. The anatomical fit allows for a full range of motion when traversing rough country. If you’re a mountain athlete with big aspirations, the hardscrabble is one camo hunting jacket you must have.
WRONG SIZE RETURN WARRANTY: If you choose the wrong size we will pay for the cost of shipping until you are outfitted with the correct size of each item.

I used the hardscrabble jacket on a high country mule deer hunt this past fall. It preformed flawlessly. The MTN-Stealth pattern is the best concealment pattern I have used in a lifetime of hunting. I’m a customer for life. Jackets run slightly on the small side. I normally wear a Medium, but had to get a large.

Thank you Adam for the kind words.
Also thank you for the feedback on the sizing.

Hardscrabble Jacket is hands down the best jacket i have owned. Very comfortable and easy to access all the pockets. The zippers are quiet and function very smoothly. Jacket forms to your body and allows you to shoulder a rifle or draw back a bow comfortably. I also tested the jacket in below freezing temps and was impressed at how warm it was. This jacket is by far the best on the market. I would recommend it to everyone.

This Jacket is the best ive owned. I really like the stretch of this jacket. It also has great venting system so whether you are in warmer weather or zip it up and it keeps you warm in cold conditions. The water resistance works great i had it in the rain over the weekend at it work great. A+ gear.
Kirk (verified owner) –
Amazed with the features SKRE put into this jacket. The pattern works awesome and can’t beat the fabrics used. High end and a very responsible price. I wear a large most of the time but ordered a xl and it fits great with the shirt and vest underneath.

Hardscrabble Jacket – It is tough to spend your hard earned money on gear you have never seen or touched. Backcountry hunting demands gear that works. At times it can become life vs death so I’am very pickey concerning my clothing – especially my outter layers.
I called Michael before I ordered and asked him every question possible. I had my doubts at this price point. Mike answered every question and convinced me to give it a try.
Man am I glad I did. The hardscrabble jacket exceeded my expectations. I hunt Montana year round from the western front range humping 9,000 foot ridges to the unforgiving eastern breaks country. This jacket handles it all!
It is as tear resistent material as I have ever felt – it is flat out tough! It does not catch stickers and burrs like a lot of the fabrics out there.
I spent two days from 2 hours predawn till an hour after dark tracking a wounded bull on opening weekend. It rained non stop. The bull worked his way into the nastiest, thickest brush on the mountain. 10-12 foot high chokecherry brush that was sattered with rain. I had no choice but to follow. The hardscrabble jacket kept my core completely dry. I was shocked and amazed. It made me a believer! It has also kept me warm through three different September snow storms already – this jacket is made to hunt!
If you are hesitant to order this sight unseen, rest asurred Skre Gear is the real deal!

I have been wearing the hardscrabble jacket since I bought it in February at the western hunting expo for all of my scouting trips and this archery season. I can honestly say that it is the most comfortable and best looking camo I have ever worn! It handles the high country weather better than anything I’ve ever owned, three nights worth of high country storms rolled in on me during this archery season and it kept me warm and dry through the rain and snow although it isn’t waterproof it handles a little bit of moisture very well I can’t wait until they release their rain gear so I can hunt even during downpours. I would recommend this product to anyone and I will be a customer for life!
Hunter Bloxham –
This jacket is built extremely well. I love the pit zips while you’re hiking to and from where you’re trying to go. Hunted in a downpour on my archery elk hunt this year and it repels moisture very well, but is not waterproof. However, this is the fastest drying material I’ve ever worn. Literally minutes by a fire or in the sun and you’re bone dry again. I couldn’t believe it! Can’t wait for the rain gear to see what SKRE brings to the table. If it’s anything like this jacket, it will be bombproof.
Nick Emmerton (verified owner) –
I tested the hardscrabble jacket in the high country of Washington state. I’ve never had such a perfect concealment pattern when it comes to my surroundings here in Washington! Not only that but it was below 30 and pouring rain, and I wasn’t cold for a single second. It really has surprised me thus far! I’ve tested it against a rocky bank while hunting ducks in below 30 defree weather and with a 25 mph wind and yet again I stayed warm and undetected by every duck that circled the decoys that morning! I’ve been beyond impressed with this product and I can’t wait to test it out more this winter!

I called skre late at night and no answer. 2 minutes later I got a call from Michael and he answered all my questions. Told me how the gear runs small and suggested I get the 2xl. HE was right they do run small. Fits well except in the shoulders…lititle tight. OVERALL the jacket is the best one I owned! My buddy has a kuiu and they are very similar but skre has way better pattern. I will be purchasing the rest of there gear soon! you will not be disappointed. Best jacket on the market hands down with a great price! Thanks Michael

I purchased this jacket before a hunting trip to Montana. After talking to the guys at SKRE about the sizing I ended up getting a large as the sizing runs a little on the small side. The athletic fit of this gear is great and the fabric flexes allowing great movement.
The weather on our hunting trip was in the low 30’s in the morning and up to 70 on a couple of the days we were there. The jacket was very warm in the morning with only a light base layer worn underneath. As the temps warmed up during the day The vents were great to let out any heat and the fabric breathed very well.
I am very happy with the jacket and will definitely be buying more gear from SKRE

Excellent softshell jacket. I wore this jacket during my Colorado DIY archery elk hunt and it performed flawlessly. We were hit with every type of weather from wind, sun, rain, and storms and i used this until i needed my rain gear. This will be my softshell for now on. The only reason for 4 stars is because of the sizing. If it wasnt for the pit zips, it would not fit over my arms and shoulders. As a softshell, it should fit as you would wear a layer or two of base before putting this on. It is extremely snug around the chest, arms, and shoulders. Granted, I am more muscular than average, but an XXL should be more than enough for my size (5’7″, 195lbs). All in all, very pleased with this jacket and will continue to wear.
Ken Beiler (verified owner) –
I have been very pleased with this jacket so far. It performs very well-very breathable, and water resistant enough for pretty much all of the hunting I do. I have worn it for early season archery elk hunts and late season cow elk hunts. The last hunt I used it for started with single digit temps and I was very comfortable all day long in very strenuous conditions. I find myself reaching for this jacket all the time, even though I am trying to save it just for hunting.
Shane (verified owner) –
The hardscrabble jacket has been nothing short of amazing. Great for all terrain with its durable fabric and great concealment. Also perfect for any elements you can be exposed to, the vents work great for those warmer fall days and the water resistance certainly pays off for those rainy/snowy days. By far the best jacket on the market!
Nick Emmerton (verified owner) –
I just wanted to come back for a follow up review! Like I stated before, this jacket was awesome during the rainy deer season here in Washington, I wrote that review prior to duck season starting. Duck season is now over and man am I impressed. I am usually the guy that’s freezing his butt off all morning long and it’s been that way for the last few seasons as I tested other gear. Well lucky enough I was not cold very often this season thanks to this jacket along with the pants! They’re surprisingly warm and so comfortable. I’ll never go back to any other gear other than skre.
Cody Ralph –
This isn’t a phenomenon everyone rates this gear 5 stars because they truly are. This jacket is awesome! The pants are awesome! Everything is. Haven’t had them for very long but am extremely excited to try them out this upcoming hunting season. I wore the jacket shed hunting, was raining all day did about 6 miles and just had a long sleeve underneath and was about 35ish degrees. Was not cold or wet at all. Biggest thing I love is how quiet it was going through the trees and brush. I have a kings guides choice jacket and that was just way too loud. This jacket is WAY quieter and fits extremely well. It is form fitting so maybe look at getting a bigger size than normal if you will be wearing multiple base layers but it is great material. Mike could not be nicer dealing with you. Customer service alone this company should be in your closet, hands down!
Jenna Elder –
I bought this jacket for my husband and he has absolutely loved it! From the style to the print. Also I have never had such excellent customer service! Great product!!
Christian Armstrong (verified owner) –
Made an investment this year in some quality gear. Took me a couple months of a lot of research, some inspecting, and testing. After reaching out to multiple companies, contrasting efficacy and durability of products, I decided to go with SKRE after speaking with the owner, and his above exceptional customer service. Their products are going to change the game, at a fraction of the cost of big name brands. The thought process and passion put into this product shows right out of the package, and as soon as you put it on.
Braden –
I love my hard scrabble jacket. By far the best hunting and all around outdoor jacket I’ve ever owned. It is very durable, comfortable, and warm. Highly recommended! And affordable!

Great product, I’ve owned all the major brands and this jacket sits right there with them all. Used this in a three day turkey hunt in the snow and never got wet.
Zach lamb (verified owner) –
I’m the kind of person that has to bundle up like an Eskimo in 30 degree weather. This past hunting season all I had to wear was my hardscrabble gear and base layers in 10 degree weather and never got cold. Don’t worry about this gear not being goretex, the teflon coating skre gear has is legit. Steady rain for 8 hrs in a tree stand is no match for the hardscrabble gear. The briars and bramble of West Virginia tested this gear to the max while whitetail hunting, turkey hunting, scouting and predator hunting. After 90+ days with this gear on my back last year the briars only pulled a couple threads but nothing at all to complain about for the terrain and abuse it’s been through. As for burrs the just simply wipe right off with ease. If you want high performance hunting gear at a more affordable price then look no farther than SKRE!
Clay Cox –
This jacket is awesome! I have used it for 2 yeas and it is still holding up. I have never been cold with it on any of my hunting trips and the Camo patters is amazing.
Nick Wyatt (verified owner) –
I used the Hardscrabble Jacket on a November elk hunt last fall for 5 days. The jacket is very comfortable and full of features that add versatility. Many pockets make it easy to have those small items always easy to get to. The pit zips were great for early morning climbs to glassing locations without overheating or having to strip layers. Fit comfortably without much bulk which made carrying my backpack hassle-free as well.
As is mentioned in other reviews here, definitely order a size up. I normally wear a large and the XL provides a good fit. The jacket has an athletic/semi-fitted fit to it, but you definitely need one size larger.
Reese Willard –
The quality of the Hardscrabble Jacket for the price can’t be beat! I got to test it out last month at an outdoor 3D archery competition. I was amazed by the jacket’s range of motion when drawing and shooting my bow. It was windy and cool early in the day and the jacket totally blocked the wind and kept my temperature nicely regulated. The MTN-Stealth pattern is by far the best concealment pattern out there and I can’t wait to test it out more this fall/winter! The sizing does run a bit small and I would recommend ordering a larger size if you are going to be layering. Thanks Mike for the top notch customer service!
Athan Harrigfeld (verified owner) –
Have been wearing this jacket for about three months and love it. It’s an athletic fit that’s snug but has plenty of stretch to move freely. If you plan to l layer heavy get one size up.
Sean White (verified owner) –
I wore the haedscrabble jacket for seven days on a central Idaho spring bear hunt. The first day we were there a storm dropped 6″ of snow. The hard scrabble jacket did everything I needed it to. The water resistant feature was very nice as I only had to break out my rain gear once. The pit zips are a must when hiking. After I reached the mountaintop I was quickly able to close the pit zips and cinch down the hood and glass for hours without having to worry much about the elements. I love the hardscrabble finish and know this jacket will last me for years to come! Thanks SKRE!
Sean Smith –
This jacket is the most versatile jacket I have owned. I have used it in many different weather situations as well as activity levels and it performed at a very high level. My favorite part is the way its tailored makes it so you arent dealing with excess material in places its not needed. It will be going with me on a desert bighorn sheep hunt this winter as well as for late September mule deer.
Shad Meacham –
The hardscrabble jacket is my all around go to piece of clothing. It keeps me warm and dry when it counts most. I can wear this anytime from hunting or just around town and it never fails. I have notice on similar style jackets that most don’t have a hood. That’s one of the key things that stood out to me. Never knowing what the elements will throw at you when out in the hills it’s good knowing that this jacket will cover and repel it all away. I love the pattern and the way it fits yet you don’t feel smothered or that it’s to loose. Like I said this is my go to for just about anything I’m doing and would recommend this to anyone!
T.J. –
I bought this jacket as well as the hardscrabble pants for a Sept. elk hunt in Montana last fall. The build quality and material is top notch. I expect this jacket to last a long time. I am a big fan of the zippered vents. Overheating while hiking back into elk country followed by freezing in the sweat when you stop has always been a problem for me. These vents make a huge difference in temp control. Great stuff.

Ordering new camo can always be a scary deal but with Skre you have no worries. I used this camo all last year during any type of weather. From early elk in Wyoming to late December Elk in Idaho. Packing in for high country Muleys in Wyoming we ran into some snow all I had was Skre I stayed dry and warm. This camo is a life saver. I have used Sitka, under armor, kryptic and many other brands and always end up with my Skre. 100% great buy. Jacket runs a little small I went for a large.
Theresa (verified owner) –
It fits great, the arms are long enough (I have long arms) and it blocks the wind nice and keeps you warm. However, I wish the outer shell was a bit quieter, especially for those calm mornings when you’re stalking big game and need to get close for a good shot. This jacket is a little noisy. I took it Elk hunting with me in South Western Montana the 2nd week of November. I took the Hard Scrabble Jacket along in my pack. It worked great for blocking those cold mountain winds and thermals when I was glassing or resting. If I got hot, I would just throw it back in my pack, or I would unzip my armpit zippers and it would definitely help me cool down without chilling my core. It blended in really well in the rough timber and rocky slopes we were scaling. Overall it’s a great jacket with Fit, Form and Function. The pattern is a little dark for the Prairie Flats of North Eastern Montana, but if you have some cover like sage it really helps. I also love all the deep pockets for storing my calls in or extra gloves. I’ve used this jacket for Big Game, fishing, upland bird, coyote hunting and even riding my horse moving cows on the ranch. If you have any questions about the clothing, Mike is great at answering all your questions.
Sam Weaver –
Really love the features of this jacket. Extremely quite and durable outer fabric. The bonded inner fleece has a nice soft feel to it. The hood has a great cut and fully covers your head while not hanging down and covering your eyes. I found the cuffs easily adjustable and fit nicely over gloves. My favorite feature is the pit zips. Great way to regulate heat. Open them up during a strenuous hike or warmer day time temps and close them as your active decrease or temperatures cool down. Teflon coating seems to bead water off very well. Over all just a very nicely designed soft shell jacket.
Glen Turney (verified owner) –
I used a combo of the Hardscrabble Jacket, the vest, and the base layer on a hunt along the Mexican border (Texas) in early December last year. The temperatures where in the low 30’s with strong wind. I would still be sweating when I got to my hunt area each morning – this gear is awesome! Additionally, the brush was intense – no issues for Skre.

This is a quality jacket I would recommend to anyone. I really enjoyed using mine last season
Alicia Hernandez –
This jacket has such great features! The materials are comfortable and durable enough to withstand any outdoor conditions! It’s breathable vents are perfect for warm days or walking long distances, and there are just enough pockets that are easily accessible! The mtn stealth camo pattern is so versatile! I have worn this jacket all throughout deer season, turkey season, and shed hunting! I am a small lady so I ordered a size small jacket. It is slightly large on me, (as it is mens sizing),but it still works very well! I look forward to the womens line coming soon! If you have any questions, Mike offers great customer service and will answer any you may have!
AJ Johnson –
This camo is awesome. Best gear I’ve ever owned. The pattern is incredible and very comfortable to wear. Keeps you warm and dry. Even better is the customer service. These guys are great. I highly recommend Skre to everyone.

I love this jacket. One of the most versatile jackets you could own!
mcclainbrandon (verified owner) –
Caveat, I have not used this jacket in the field. I have owned some Sitka and KUIU products and mind you they are good products, but the fit and finish on SKRE products exceeded my expectations. The Hardscrabble Jacket is the best fitting jacket I have been able to experience. It just properly conforms to my body. Much lighter than expected, the quality of the material is on par if not exceeding to that of the expensive name brands and at a fraction of the cost. The pattern is much better in person and definitely more concealable than the majority of “fun” patterns of the other guys (hint KUIU). I would suggest getting a size up from their diagram as they run smaller. Overall very please with the initial impression. SKRE’s guaranteed to fit policy is exceptional and worth the look.

I bought this jacket last year and it has never let me down! I have used it for multiple hunting trips from coyotes in the desert to elk and deer in the mountains of Utah. You wont be disappointed!

I used the hardscrabble jacket on a New Mexico mule deer hunt last November and it was amazing. Light weight, warm, and quiet!
Brad Mincic –
Awesome Coat wore in Colorado elk archery hunt.
Matthew C Wilberding –
This is an excellent jacket. It fits nice and is comfortable. I like how it stretches and has multiple pockets. The arm pit zippers are a great feature for cooling down without having to remove the jacket. It has also been great to keep me warm in the cool mornings. This morning was down around 40 and i stayed plenty warm for my morning sit with only a base layer shirt underneath.
The only reason I gave it a 4 and not a 5 star rating, is that i wish there was a zipper pocket on the top of the back of the neck to stuff the hood in when not in use. I only like using the hood when needed, the rest of the time I like to hide it. Or, my other recommendation would be to have the grey colored fleece on the inside of the hood be camo as well. I noticed that the grey is visible while the rest of the jacket blends in perfectly.
Other than my comments about the hood, this jacket is amazing and I will be buying the vest and pants to match.

Bought the Hardscrabble Gear for last archery season. Figured I’d give it a full season of fair assessment before I review. The SKRE hardscrabble line is nothing short of scientific. The pockets seem to be laid out in a way that show actual Hunters aided in the design process of the jacket. I feel like a well oiled machine when on stand knowing where every function is. I love the athletic style fit. My body shape fits into the gears lines and hems like a glove. I wore the gear all the way down to 33 degrees last season. The hardscrabble gear is definitely not designed for that low of temps, and though I did get a bit cold that day, I am utterly impressed with the gear. Performed wonderful in rain as well. Has the perfect balance of being water proof without the annoying squeak of a rainsuit. Will purchase more from SKRE.
Quinn –
Hardscrabble jacket I received for my birthday I love it. I now have the early season pants and a base layer shirt love them also. I’m not a critic or a gear freak but when it’s so noticeably better than what I’ve used before I’m gonna go with it.
Devon Johnston (verified owner) –
Took the Hardscrabble pants and coat on a Dall sheep,moose, and caribou combo hunt in the NorthWest Teritories . The pants and coat performed flawless in any condition. Pit zips and thigh zips really help cool you down while climbing. Gear is very water proof and drys quick. Mountain stealth is the most ideal camo pattern for the mountains or any terrain for that matter. Great product!!!
Cameron Yamaura (verified owner) –
It does run small as mentioned in sizing chart. I decided not to size up though and it is snug I have enough room for a couple shirts under but not a sweatshirt. I’m ok with that because I don’t like baggy or lose clothes while archery hunting. The jacket has been great it is ok for some on and off again light rain.
Rick Mattson –
Here are some general 1st thoughts on the SKRE Hardscrabble Jacket, I have only had the opportunity to wear it outside the house & at work. But for what it worth, as noted by the manufacture, the jacket runs on the small side, I bought an XL which fits my 6’1 180lb frame just fine, whereas I would normally wear a size large. Second thought is that (for me) this jacket seems to provides less warmth than I would expect for the thickness of the material, but that may be a plus for on the go style hunting. The jacket seems to be well made & has nice pit zips & chest vents, so it should breathe real well, if that what you need. But only actual hunting time will tell how it fits into my clothing system.
Joe Atkin –
Very light and form fitting so there’s not a lot to snag up on, very warm for the weight of the jacket, would definitely recommend.

Used the hardscrabble jacket elk hunting. Very pleased with the fit and finish. Worked great layering with other SKRE gear. Very happy with the purchase.

I love this jacket. I have been able to use the hard scrabble jacket in several conditions over the last couple months. It has became my go to jacket for every situation from hot archery days to September snowstorms in the Idaho high country. with its venting capabilities it is extremely versatile. It is also light weight so If i am not wearing it I always have it in my pack while hiking. With the hard scrabble and the ptarmigan in my pack I feel prepared for all weather conditions. Thanks SKRE for a great product.
Jared (verified owner) –
This is my first performance hunting apparel that i have bought. I could have tried the other big brands and spent way more money. I decided to give skre a try. So far it has performed well . I like the stretch and how warm the jacket keeps me when its cool and how i can vent with the pit zips when making a steep climb. I can’t wait to try out other products soon.
Alberto lopez –
Great jacket warm when you need it and the vents work great. Quite and comfortable when hunting. The best hunting jacket I own!
Colton (verified owner) –
The hardscrabble jacket works great for many different weather conditions. Having the ventilation options is a necessity and makes for a cool, comfortable, and lightweight hunting experience. The jacket is equipped with quiet durable zippers and have tabs that are easy to get a hold of with big gloves on. All in all the hardscrabble jacket is top of its class and for just $200 you cant beat it.
Charles –
I just got this for Christmas and it’s awesome. I used it out on patrol and out on a hike looking for sheds never did get cold its been in the 20’s . The vents worked great when I was hiking letting the heat out. Also it’s nice a quiet I can’t wait to take it hunting next season.
Tyler (verified owner) –
This will be my third season using the hardscrabble jacket and I have been nothing but pleased with it’s performance. It breaks the wind very well and is a perfect outer insulation layer. It’s been very durable and has exceeded my overall expectations.
claycourington (verified owner) –
This jacket isgreat. This fitting is comfortable but remember that this system is meant to be layered so make sure to size accordingly. I usually wear L jackets and that is what fits me well when layered in this system. Even though this jacket is not quoted as rain gear, the pants as well as the matching jacket kept me very very dry during several rains. I hunt the southeast and midwest for whitetails and turkeys and love this system.
taylorshix (verified owner) –
Great jacket. I personaly think summit pattern is awesome. The colorado wilderness blends right in without a doubt. The jacket it self was amazing. I didnt know if it would be to warm in early season archery elk in colorado but it help up just fine and in fact it was perfect in mornings with Hardscrabble vest, and about 2 merino under layers. afternoons i took merino under layer and set jacket aside till sun went down and then slide the Hardscrabble jacket on. Hood is awesome, lots of visibility. pockets are placed just right. My greatest enjoyment out of the Jacket was how well it fit. Im 5’9″ 160 lbs. and the Large fit like it was made for me. Best part is when you pull back your bow you feel naked flows for an archer. I also used with my shotgun early this year on dove hunt and shotgun had no restraints. Another thing! the vents in the arm pits are great, literally had to open those things a lot with movement and colorado extreme weather fluctuations and that helped dramatically.
gcbowhunter –
I do like my Hardscrabble jacket. The only thing I don’t like is that it fits tight. I’m 6’1″ 265 lbs and I got a 2XL. If I’m not layering it is fine but I think 3XL would be better. I should have up sized. As far as how the jacket did it was flawless. I recommend as many people as I can to SKRE. Also the customer service you receive is hard to beat in the camo world. I will be adding to my SKRE gear soon.

Jacket feels great. Perfect weight for the outer layer. Sheds moisture and is athletic fit. I’m broad 5’11” 210. Lift and exercise. I got the XL.

Ihave not put this jacket to the test yet however I love the pockets and vents under the arms. The material feels great and am looking forward to my yearly Colorado elk hunt. Have also purchased the pants and will give a full review on both products at the end of October. I”ll assure everyone that this gear will be tested and rated. There are no roads where we hunt and I don’t own a horse!!
Zvdrill (verified owner) –
First thing, the customer service with this company and the way they stand with and by their customers and products is absolutely outstanding! I’ve been in contact with Mike W and that guy is the prime example of how companies should handle themselves when dealing with customers.
As for the jacket, it’s fantastic, the pattern, interior and exterior materials are all top quality. I love the pocket placement and vents! That being said they are sized small. I am about 5’8” and 217lbs muscle so The XL I ordered fit a bit snug for warming layers. I will be needing a 2XL which they are handling as I type this.
I do some very rugged archery elk hunting in Colorado hiking a lot of back country putting on a lot of miles through rough terrain from 8,000-12,000ft. I’m excited to run all of my new SKRE gear and see how it holds up. I will be back for a more detailed review in October.
rmsmith (verified owner) –
Love this jacket. Just barely got it a week or so ago. Material is very tough, warm, windproof and while not waterproof is very water resistant and dries very quickly. They run just a tad small so I upsized to a 2XL and it fits over a couple layers nicely. Looking forward to using this all summer and fall scouting and hunting. Haven’t shot my bow in it but it definitely doesn’t feel binding anywhere. Wore it checking cameras yesterday in a downpour and once the rain blew past and the sun came out, I was totally dry in ten minutes or so. It was also breezy and this jacket cut the wind perfectly so I stayed warm.

Love my Hardscrabble Jacket and Pants. Use it for Western WA elk and deer hunting last year and it out performed my expectations. I am 6′ 175lbs and a Large jacket fits perfect. No extra bulk on the sleeves to get caught up in my bow string. Nice tight athletic fit.
