The only bad thing about this jacket is spelling the name of it correct!

Ha!! I just call it the FL puffy sense they only have one. And honestly I couldn't tell you how it is suppose to be pronounced.

you should just add that pic to the manscaping thread...


on a serious note, i like this jacket alot. but does ayone have a recipe for getting stains out of the fabric?

Yep,...nice review Aron, had mine about a month now and have been wearing it everywhere! shook off a couple of good showers too. I particularly like the sleeves, nice and fitted on the forearms, great for shooting my Bow.
6oz heavier than my other synthetic puffy but I would probably still pack it due to its hood and versatility.

I washed blood off the outside just throwing it in with a normal load of laundry, with Tide....... Then I got blood on it again, on the inside, and haven't washed it since. Might be a bit tougher to get those out.

I think its my favorite piece of clothing I own.

 

[Browtine]

Love mine as well. Only complaint (minor) is the white lining in the hood.

I've got this one in ASAT along with the North Branch pants and the Stormtight jacket. Makes for a pretty bomber set-up

So for you folks with this jacket, what size did you end up with and how tall/lbs are you? I'm 6'1" 175 and had a large but it was way too roomy/bulky for me.

5' 11" at 170 and the medium fits me perfect.

I have this jacket and would agree, if I'm going deep I'm taking the down puffy instead. I thought about trying to make this work as a combo puffy/rain jacket........which would work fine for most situations, but I wouldn't trust it for all the rain we experienced here last year. Mine is an XL and weighs 19oz. My down puffy and Stormtight weigh ~29oz combined, so for the extra 10oz I think it's worth taking the down and rain jacket together. But as Aron states......for busting brush you want the FL puffy. I'm 6'6"/210 and the XL fits well.

5'9" 170# . Medium fits good.

5'8" 175, medium fits a treat.

At 5'10" and 185ish, the large size FL puffy is a bit big on me also, as is the rain jacket they offer. I was originally going to send them back to get a size smaller, but being able to wear my HPG recon kit bag underneath both when the weather gets really nasty is a bonus, so I kept the large and just deal with it. I usually run a fleece under my rain jacket anyway so it works itself out in the end. Regardless, it's a great piece of kit to have in your pack.

I've been wearing this jacket about everyday for the last 3+ months. I wore this under my Fanatic while bow and muzzleloader hunting and it helped a ton. Just did a 3D shoot last weekend and the collar got in the way a little, but I ended up tucking it in and was good to go. I also don't like the white inside the "brim" area of the hood and that is my only complaint. Otherwise it's golden. I love the sleeves and especially the cuffs. This is my go to everyday coat.

I'm 5' 11" x 175lbs. and the medium is perfect.
