1. Great design and warm!

   The design is unique but functional. It’s super warm and the pocket is in the perfect location especially for saddle hunting! Unknown on 21st Dec 2023

2. Order a Size Up, Warm, No Bulk, Great Camo Pattern

   Warm jacket without the bulk which makes it ideal for bow hunting. Recommend ordering a size up which will account for the sizes running a little small while also being able to wear a sweatshirt and the Ambush bibs underneath comfortably. Fall Gray is still hands down the best camo pattern I’ve worn in the stand (hunt in mostly mixed poplar/spruce woods) John P on 12th Dec 2023

3. Zipper, pockets and collar

   Hello. I purchased the Ambush jacket 2 years ago, wanted to give it time for review. ( I own 2 Dakota Outfitters jackets from the 90’s made in USA. My son wears one and I the other. )We live in Illinois, 3.5 month long archery season with 10 days of shotgun and muzzleloader mixed in. I hunt quite a bit, the 2 Dakota jackets have been great, not a loose thread, snap, tear or hole. I admit the Dakota jackets are a little short ( I am 6 foot 3 ) but otherwise great, the best jacket for deer hunting I have ever owned. The new Ambush jacket is good, But , I feel has flaws. Yes it is warm, longer torso, light weight. However I would gladly have a normal zipper, snap close pockets, hand warmer pockets, old style collar zip up and cuffs on arms. I would also expect to pay for these options. The collar is drafty in wind, the zipper? Not my favorite, lack of secure pockets, not good, cuffs, are warmer. By the way ( goes without saying ) camo pattern is great!! Thank you Gary A Gabriel on 28th Nov 2023

4. Ambush Jacket

   This is my 2nd ambush jacket, only because I went up 1 size. I'd like to say it's because it shrunk in the wash, but it definitely didn't, it was all me. Besides the fact I hunt in negative Temps in Iowa and layer up, so when bundled up a lot the coat was a little snug (again not Predators fault), but not tight. I just prefer a looser fit, so if you layer a lot of clothes (base, mid, puffy layer, outer) you may want to go +1 size. Tyson T on 10th Nov 2023

5. Ambush bibs and jacket

   Awesome product fit seems good. Brad on 1st Feb 2023

6. Little noisy

   I am satisfied with the jacket but it’s louder than I would like when cold. If you want something for single digit weather without stacking on the layers this isn’t the jacket you want. Ryan H on 18th Dec 2022

7. Ambush jacket

   Sweet!!!!! The zipper is awkward at first, but it’s the reason I bought the jacket. I no longer have to use a hand warmer muff. The jacket has a generous front pocket for my hands. The way the zipper is designed, it completely moves the collar out of the way for my release and bowstring. It is light and packs fairly well. Lastly, the jacket is very warm, blocks the wind and repels water surprisingly well. John on 15th Dec 2022

8. Looks good and is pretty warm but the fit is lacking

   I like the look of this jacket and I like the hands pouch on the front. It is decently warm. I wore for the first time last week in Michigan in 30 degree weather with 200 weight merino base layer and stayed warm while in a tree stand. If it were colder or windier i would need thicker base layers or another warning layer. The zipper is definitely odd and takes a bit to get used though. I bought the 2xl size. I'm 6'3, 275 lbs. It fits decently in the shoulders and waist but the arm sleeves are short and the neck hole once the jacket is zipped all the way is huge. I'm pretty equally proportioned when it comes to arm and leg length. When my arms are down the sleeves are about 2 inches too short and when they are raised 90° from my body as in holding a bow outright, the sleeves are closer to 3 inches to short. I'm going to take them to a tailor to have some kind of elastic cuff material added so my skin isn't bare but I would suggest longer sleeves and/or different cuffs to help extend the length to either go over or under a pair of gloves cuffs. The neck hole is big enough that once zipped all the way I had thick fleece balaclava on and the was still 2 inches of room from my neck to the collar. Unknown on 15th Dec 2022

9. Ambush coat paired with airstream jacket

   Hands down the best coat system I've ever had. Not overwhelmingly bulky, light weight, warm, wind proof. I've had systems from several major competitors over the last 20 years, nothing comes close to Predator for price and quality. Tyson T on 28th Nov 2022

10. Good gear

    Have the ambush jacket and bibbs great product, I’m 5’9” and 156 the medium fits just right with room for base layers. Great cold weather gear Heath on 27th Oct 2022
