This Jacket Has it All September 1, 2008
"This is my favorite jacket. I started with the 5-1 on a department that required black. This jacket has been through it all. Foot chases, traffic stops, fighting in the snow and on icy parking lots with out a scuff. As for keeping warm. I was lucky to have it with me when I assisted with a fire scene in early February with sub-zero temps and 50mph winds off the lake. Withe this jacket it was "shake off the ice and keep going". Like it so much I bought my own when I changed to a dept. that required blue."

Great Fit Lousy Quality July 21, 2009
"I tested this jacket for our dept. as a K9 handler. The jacket fit great but the zippers broke and the snaps all pulled off in the first three weeks. Granted K9 is a little tougher than patrol on jackets but the quality of zips and snaps really should be looked at. The jacket was warm but not 100% waterproof and it would help if the included fleece had radio mic holders."

Disappointed in performance April 5, 2009
"I am currently forward deployed in Afghanistan and brought the 5n1 jacket with me. It is supposed to be waterproof. I wore it in a light rain for less the 3 hours and when I took my jacket off. My entire back and arms were soaked. The jacket leaks at all the seams. Where the back flap storage area is, that was were most of the leakage came from. Plus where the arms are joined at the shoulders. The jacket was shipped to me and I took it out of the box and wore it. Since it stated water proof, I assumed that the company had quality control to ensure every product that leaves with there logo on it, stands up to there statement."

5-1 jacket February 4, 2009
"i was skeptical. price / advertising. but after having this great jacket now for about 6 months, it was the best investment in a jacket i have ever made. being retired special operations, i have had many a jacket. i too have been in the 20's, on a motorcycle at hwy speed, and winds that felt like a hurricane. this jacket has lived up to everything and more than expected."

15 degress January 28, 2009
"Warmth is the key here. I have been in temps lower than 20 degrees on a daily baises. The pockets are warm and have room for my 511 gloves to be stored when not in use. My only thing I do not like about it is the hood. It is way too deep and big. I have to wear a hat in order to have it fit some what ok. It is water proof and kept me dry during our snow storm and temps lower than 20 degress. I would recomend this item to all. ps. I love all the hiden pockets...:)"

Good Jacket January 19, 2009
"This is one of the best jackets I've worn including the standard Police leather and Issue patrol jacket. Really comfortable. Very warm with the full liner. Here in the Mid South I have to remove the fleece sleeves to stay comfortable except on the coldest (Low 20's) days. Excellent waterproofing and pockets for days. I would like to see a little lighter weight liner."

5 in 1 Jacket tested in high desert September 16, 2008
"I purchased a 5 in 1 jacket to comply with my department's uniform policy. The jacket proved to be as advertised in it's utility and water proofness. I had the opportunity to attend a four day defensive handgun course in Parumph Nevada during the month of March. The conditions in March are cold and windy. The fleece inner liner was the ideal garment to wear. I was able to stay warm, access my weapon and block that infernal north wind. It was light enough not to inhibit my movements. As the day warmed, the sleeves came off to adapt for comfort. In short, a perfect match for that enviornment."

Excellent Jacket September 16, 2008
"I bought this jacket 2 1/2 years ago and it has been through all of the conditions MN can throw at it. I was outside in -10 F temps and had to unzip because it keeps you that warm. It is so versitle, I love the ability to put the plackards and badge tab back in the pocket when Im off duty and it looks like a regular jacket again. I have recomended this jacket to many co-workers. Well worth the money!"

a wonderful, practical coat. September 11, 2008
"I recieved the coat in the fall of 2006. I am the snomobile patrol for my county. I cant begin to tell you how many times i said to myself and others on what a superior coat it was during snomobile patrol.
the warth of the coat is perfect. not to warm and not to cold. the liner also acts as a summer coat. what a brilliant idea. the pocket location and size without a doubt was without a doubt designed by a police office.
the reflective vest comes in handy for those nights on a traffic scene. thanks again for a superior product. gary berdinski

All around, all year, great coat September 1, 2008
"This is definitely an all year, all weather coat. I keep this coat in my station bag or locker all year, for those “just in case” times. The complete coat is very warm and doesn't restrict the wearer’s movement. When separated, the inner liner works great for those cool/brisk mornings (both as a jacket and vest) and the outer liner is a great wind and rain breaker. The free reflective vest is a real life saver on those late night wreck scenes, very visible to passing traffic. Both liners have several pockets for a little bit of everything, and the hidden ID tabs are great off duty wear (I had Velcro stitched on my tabs, so I can change out my patches from Fire to EMS to Security as I need)."

Love this jacket ! August 31, 2008
"By far the best duty coat I have ever worn. Very warm, had to take the liner out. Even in the cold Montana winters this coat can be too warm. I wear the liner for off duty so, really I got two coats for the price. Only negative is the pocket zipper angle - things tend to fall out."

Excellent Patrol jacket August 27, 2008

Very Warm Jacket August 27, 2008
"The 5-in-1 jacket is certainly one of the warmest jackets I've worn. Its modularity allows the user to accommodate most any weather conditions. Well thought out features and design, although I find it to be too bulky for continuous duty wear. I'll slip it on while running traffic or on foot patrol in the cold but won't wear it all night long. The front and rear concealable identification patches are great and allow the jacket to be worn off-duty also."

MUST HAVE August 27, 2008
"If you live in places where you might have a heavy rainy seasson or cold climate this is a MUST HAVE product. After an crisis situation where I ended upu all socked wet it was still raining and we were allmost 12 celcius. I just took of my wet shirt and on my jacket. I wormed up in about 10 minutes, stood out in the rain waiting for the rest of the team to finish but still stayed dryed and worm. Then got back on the truck and went back to the station about 30 minutes drive with only my jacket and off course pants but was worm and dry all way back.

Will love it.

As soon as is in my budget again I will get another. This one has been with me for about 4 years.

Outstanding Product August 27, 2008
"We have been impressed by and very happy with our purchase of these jackets. We did a great deal of research before we decided on this jacket for our officers. It offered all the features we could ask for and the performance we were looking for. We have received nothing but praise from our folks for this jacket choice. The option of wearing the flaps in or out gave our officers a jacket to wear home as well as on the job. The fleece insert is just as comfortable in the jacket as it is to wear alone. The options the jacket gave our officers were too compelling for us to go with anything else."

Very practical August 27, 2008
"This jacket is an excellent option for a patrol coat. The removable liner and zippers under the arm make it a very capable rain jacket as well as an all season jacket/coat. I love this thing as much as my 3-in-1 jacket."

Nice Versatile Jacket August 27, 2008
"Nice jacket and very durable especially for use as a K-9 handler.I have the 5 in 1 as well as the regular style jacket. Able to adjust layers of jacket to accommodate weather. Strong zipper that doesn't snag. Only problem encountered was velcro closure on breast pockets, stitching came undone but was easily fixed. Would like to see this minor flaw addressed because same velcro pockets are used on my 511 TDU uniform shirts,"
