Haglofs Savage Soft Shell Jacket (For Men)

The jacket's design is very attractive. The two tones of green colour look very good. The stretchy, wind stopping fabric is very impressive. It became an instant "favourite" for my husband who wants to wear it wherever and whenever he can, even in 20 degrees temp. (with good layering underneath). We followed other reviews and ordered one size larger (my husband wears size 38 sport coats and we went with L here) and it works very well. Sleeves are on a long side, which is a tremendous plus. This jacket is truly great.

After seeing others reviews, I was not sure how the sizing would work. I am 6'6", ~210lbs. I have a long back, and normally wear a 42 tall suit. My dress shirt sleeve length is 37.5"-38". I bought this jacket in XL, and it fits me perfectly. There is just enough room in the body to add a heavy baselayer/sweater that is also a trim fit. The sleeves and body are particularly long - which is perfect for me. The sleeves measure between 38-39". I previously had a Patagonia Core Skin, and I find this jacket to be superior in every way. It is not quite as warm as the core skin was when new, but the Flexable fabric is fantastic, the bonded fleece is just enough and in all the right places, it is easy to layer over other clothing without sticking, and the high collar provides great protection without being uncomfortable. If this jacket fits, I can't think of another I'd rather have.

The jacket color is awesome. I enjoy snowboarding here in Vail and love the bright colors to avoid "run-ins". I thought the jacket fit well I am 6'5" and 230 (with monkey arms) and thought these sleeves are long enough. Chest was fine. The side pockets are wierd. Its lighter weight than I wanted, but I will layer to compensate. Not for super cold weather.

I like it

I had such high hopes for this jacket. It's so interesting looking, but unfortunately, the functionality of the item is pretty poor. I'm 6'4", 195lbs (slightly skinny, but pretty normal frame) and the fit was so odd on me. My wife even said that the way it looked on me was as if someone made a mistake when they were cutting the fabric. Also, the hand pockets are terrible. The zip all the way down from the top of the chest. This may be good for ventilation, but that's what the armpit zips are for. With the zippers down (so you can put your hands in the pockets) you just have a jacket with huge flaps in the front of it which looks ridiculous. I agree with other reviews that the armpits are unusually high and tight which was a bit annoying, and would definitely prevent any real layering. Finally, the zipper on the female side is sort of annoying, but the real problem is that the zipper was incredibly hard to get started in order to zip up the jacket. Getting returned for sure.

I really like this Jacket the green is not bad at all everyone really like it on me and so do I Size Up !! I wear a large but got an X-large the arms is a bit long but the velcro straps will last for about 3 years I think I wear it with one or 2 Icebreaker tops and I'm good to go I took it to Syria on vacation there was no was they was going to lose me in the dessert of Palmyra or Damascus

I posted previously that this jacket is beautifully made but has a weird fit. The armpits were too tight on the large. I exchanged it for an XL and, even though the sleeves are now too long (I'm 180lbs, 6'1"), I'm going to keep this jacket. I can now wear a thin fleece underneath and the armpits don't bind anymore. If you want this jacket, get a size larger. If it fits, you will love it. The quality of the finish is exemplary. I've been getting lots of compliments in the few days that I've worn it. I've used it walking in a cold rain and had to open the zips to keep from overheating. It kept me warm and dry. This will probably be my new winter jacket. (Remember though, I live in the Pacific Northwest. If you're on the East Coast or Midwest, you'll need a little more for your winters!)

Really frustrating . . . this jacket seems to be really high quality and looks great. I got the XL and the chest fits good (6'1", 185lbs, 44"chest, 33"waist), the sleeves are long enough, the collar is perfect, BUT the armpits feel way too high. It feels like a wedgie in my armpit! Unless I keep the underarm vent zips completely open, it just doesn't fit right. Because of the tightness under the arm, there is also no way I can layer anything underneath except maybe a small fleece vest.

Excellent Cycling Jacket in cool weather

If you’re 6’ or under you will probably love this jacket. I ordered even after reading the other reviews about this jacket falling on the smaller size. I had to return due to size issues unfortunately (I am 6’3”). The jacket is solid other wise, can’t beat the material, craftsmanship, & design. I replaced with a Marmot ‘High Point’, now that is one nice jacket (see my review if interested) especially for us taller fellows.
