By far is one of my strongest jacket. I don鈥檛 have to fear ripping it on a branch. Let alone in my wood shop. Where I deal with nothing but sharp and splintering corners.

Plus enough pockets for all your gear and some. Love the camel back which just makes it my favorite jacket. I had bought my first apricoat when it was on Kickstarter after three years it鈥檚 holding strong from all the abuse. It鈥檚 my go to whenever I go anywhere and I just bought their new 2.0 version and I鈥檓 sure it will hold just as well.

Shipping was fast, and the jacket is amazing. I had the original Kickstarter one and loved it. The newer model improves on the original and my wife has one now too!

I鈥檝e been wearing this jacket for years now and I have no complaints! Wether I鈥檓 fishing, hiking, camping, or just getting outside with my children this jacket is the one I choose.
The versatility of this jacket is unmatched. There is a pocket for everything without looking or feeling clunky! The materials are so comfortable and don鈥檛 restrict your movement whatsoever.

My apricoat jacket is one of the best jackets i have ever owned. Bought this when apricoat was just a startup over at kickstarter. I love all the pockets and all of the genious solutions. Like the hood pillow and the sunhlass pocket. Cant think of a brand with more attention to detail! Love it!

This coat looks very nice and it has many useful features. There are SOO many pockets to store almost anything you can think of. I wear it everywhere I go!

I got the first jacket with the crowdfunding campaign and I am very happy with it. It has tons of pockets, well distributed, so it is great for going skiing in your favorite resort, or backpacking around cold/rainy weather.
The jacket has a built in fleece lining, which makes it a little to warm for hiking or randonne skiing expedition if you, like me, generate good heat when exercising.

I love this jacket, whether I'm going hiking or just out around town. My family and friends all asked where I got it. Not only is it practical and useful, but it just looks so dang slick. Also perfect for travel and airports. The pockets keep my tickets and passport readily accessible but secure so I'm not checking my pocket every 30 seconds in the airport.

STAY AWAY FROM APRICOAT!

I strongly urge you to not do business with Apricoat. Their product looks great, but their customer service and ethics are abysmal.

The sizing they propose is way too small. I took all the measurements they suggest, and concluded that I was a 鈥渓arge鈥?- and that would be true if I was measuring for a dress shirt. But, this is a coat, and you wear clothing under it鈥 fact they seem to have overlooked in devising their sizing. So, when the coat arrived, I wore it for a day to see if the too-snug fit was something I could live with. It was not. I sent the coat back to them in expectation of getting an XL sent back to me. That is what any normal company would have done, and had they behaved like human beings, they would have had a satisfied customer willing to praise their product and their customer service.

Instead, I received an increasingly snarky set of emails telling me that I鈥檇 violated their return policy by not sending back a pristine product – which is true鈥 wore it for a day and I did not launder it before returning, which I assumed would be preferable for a return. In these emails, I was informed that they would not send a replacement, would not send a refund, AND THEY WOULD NOT SEND BACK THE ORIGINAL COAT, which I had paid for! Their intention, in essence, is to steal my legally purchased property.

This is a company without the slightest clue of how to treat customers, or with even the most rudimentary grasp of business ethics. I gave them every opportunity to do the right thing by issuing a full refund, but I have been ignored, and this review is the result.

UPDATE – based on reply. Apricoat falsely claims to have offered to return the original coat. If they would bothered to read the actual email exchanges, they will see this is untrue. At no time did they offer to send back the original purchase.

Fantastic coat – waterproof, stretchy and too many features and pockets to mention and always keeps me at the perfect temperature regardless of the weather. Only negative was I was unable to get the inflatable pillow into the hood – can't imagine using it much anyway.

I can't believe this company is rated as 4.1, it's a total scam. This must be a fake review site.

I purchased Apricoat's first attempt of a coat and mountain kit from Kickstarter and it was disaster right from the start. Within weeks of my purchase I receive email after email of the issues and problems they were having, supplier problems, manufacturing problems, etc. I saw the signs and tried to get a refund but couldn't get a response from their customer service. I eventually did get a jacket (many people didn't and were out the money), and although it does look good (I did get many compliments the few times I wore it), the thing is complete crap. A mountain coat? Nope, the thing is so thin, a person will freeze if they try to wear it at any temperature below 5掳C. How about a spring jacket then? Nope, the thing doesn't breath, so a person is immediately soaked with sweat in any weather above 5掳C. Throw in the fact that jacket is not even water resistant, let alone water proof, and it can't be used as a rain jacket. The only thing I can think of is to take the coat to a tailor and get zippered vents put in the underarms, so it might actually be able to be used. It's either that, donate it and pass the problem off to some other poor sap or throw it away like the trash it is. On another point with this company, I never did receive some of the other items I ordered with my jacket (multi-tool, solar travel charger), so they basically stole my money.

I bought their jacket via the original kickstarter over 2 years ago. The jacket has held up great to Chicago winters and plenty of business travel. Highly recommend picking one up!

Backed Apricoat on Kickstarter because I liked the basic design of the jacket. Apricoat ended up removing some of the features (i.e. the harness) because of some safety concerns. The team communicated each challenge as it occurred, and despite losing the harness and being a little underwhelmed by the pillow, the jacket has been through heavy rain and long hikes with no problems. Overall it's been a positive experience for myself and my friends who also backed them. I'm looking forward to what the future holds for the company.

Never have I been more excited to see the season change in Ohio. Not because I like cold weather, but because I have my new Apricoat! I have had rain, slight mist, high winds as just three ways to put the coat to the test. And it passed with flying colors. And pockets, so many pockets. I own multiple coats from names everyone would recognize, but this is the coat I would recommend (and have recommended) to friends and family. Buy it and be happy!

Took a chance and ordered an Apricoat. It has been fantastic. Love the color and all the pockets (they are all well thought out and organized!). Material is soft, but it keeps me dry and warm without being too bulky. I'm looking forward to seeing how this holds up this winter.

I'm a big fan of Kickstarters in general, and the Apricoat was definitely one of the better kickstarters I've funded.
The coat arrived when I expected, and they were very good about keeping backers updated as they moved along.
The coat itself is fantastic. Not only does it look good enough to generate compliments on a regular basis, but the pockets and general layout are very well thought out.
I always know where the thing I want is.

I've worn it for the last 2 winters, and it still looks new, so that's also good.

I'm very happy with my purchase, and should I ever loose this one, I'll definitely be replacing it with another.

This company started off with a Kickstarter for their original Adventure Jacket. The deign was great and the features listed were well thought out and theoretically made for a great jacket, with one GLARING exception.
This jacket was marketed as waterproof at 9,000-10,000mm level. In fact it was not at all waterproof, or even water resistant. After 2 minutes in light drizzle the fabric was soaked through.
As a jacket that is designed for outdoor adventure it is actually a safety risk if someone did not discover their jacket is not waterproof before taking it on a proper adventure where they encounter rain and risk hypothermia after they get soaked.
I've never been more disappointed in a product.

I enjoy wearing my Apricoat very much. All the added pockets and its heavy and durable without feeling heavy to wear. Taken it on several trips and comfortable. I enjoy the built in gloves which came in very handy when it got chilly.

The website is very easy to navigate. It is simple, yet informative with size charts to assist with purchasing, which is the most useful thing to have when you cant physically try on before you buy. Perhaps to get a higher rating, video imagery could be helpful?

Backed the Apricoat Adventure jacket and it was awful. It soaks up water like a sponge. I took this into the backcountry for a weeklong trip and ended up wet and cold. The idea is great but the execution was extremely poor. I ended up throwing the jacket away rather than donating because I don't want someone else thinking they'll stay dry and warm. Stick with trusted brands.

I was BEYOND stoked to receive my Apricoat in the mail… I loved the colour, the thoughtfulness of the design, and the materials used. But it quickly turned to disappointment when I tried it on and it didn't fit.

This coat is not designed with enough space for a Canadian lady's curves. So much so, I thought I was accidentally sent a men's jacket. But according to the tag, it was a Women's Large.

Special Note: I gave it to a guy friend and it fit him perfectly – he wears a Canadian Men's small.

Another note of importance: The pockets are amazing and well thought out. However, once they are all filled with the items they were intended to carry, more fit space is taken up. Be sure to take all of this in mind when ordering the correct size for you.

Read: Size up!

If the Apricoat design team were to add more curve space to their coats and take full pockets into consideration, I'd order one and wear it all the time.

For now, the risk of purchasing something online and blindly trusting the sizing chart is a touch too risky for me.

I bought my Apricoat through Kickstarter so took a risk on an untested product based on 'a guy wrestling a teddybear' in the snow. I can honestly say that I absolutely love the coat and several friends have also now ordered the same. It's a great all round piece of kit whether out walking the Mont Blanc trail, skiing or just running errands on a wet day. It's also very competitively priced considering what you get for the money.

One of the best products that I have backed, this product has been living up to and even exceed my expectations.
I like to think of it as a multi purpose jacket that can neatly fit in all my gadgets.
Def a good investment!
