Condor Summit Soft Shell Tactical Jacket Review: Rain and Snow

There are a lot of soft shell jackets available on the market. Condor and Rothco jackets are the most popular ones. They have very similar look, materials and price. But there are some differences between them.

I have chosen Condor Summit Soft Shell Tactical Jacket and really happy with it. I will try to give you as much info as possible in this review.

It is warm, breathable, water resistant and windproof.

Let’s have a closer look at all features of the jacket. It has Teflon coating, YKK zippers and breathable shell technology:

Here are photos which illustrate what happened after 2 hourse of light rain and one hour of heavy rain:

Condor Summit Soft Shell Tactical Jacket After the Rain

Jacket was dry inside. The material of the Condor Summit Soft Shell Tactical Jacket works very good, you can see lots of water drops on the jacket but it is not wet. Only small areas of the outside layer were wet.

Here are several photos to show what happened to this soft shell jacket after several hours of wet snow:

Outer shell was mostly dry. Good result.

Highly recommended soft shell jacket. High-quality and inexpensive.

Review

This plate carrier is good when you need something for rapid assault missions. It will hold two armor plates of Medium or Large size.

The materials and sewing are good. Condor Outdoor Cyclone Lightweight Plate Carrier is a high-quality product made in USA.

You can attach lots of different pouches to this plate carrier and configure it for your mission.

It is possible to attach radio pouch on one shoulder and CAT Tourniquet Pouch on other shoulder. Or you can attach different pouches.

Cummerbund has pockets for soft armor. Soft or even hard armor on sides is very important when driving a car, for example. You can attach pockets for side armor plates if you think that enemy can have rifles.

Also, cummerbund accepts MOLLE pouches, so you can attach First Aid Kit, for example.

You can attach magazine pouches on front side of the Condor Outdoor Cyclone Lightweight Plate Carrier.

It is possible to attach your favourite patches on front or back velcro panels. Velcro panels are in Multicam too.

Overall, very nice plate carrier.
