Red Kap Men's Performance Crew Jacket

Having had this jacket for a little over a week, its quickly become my favourite. It's relatively lightweight and easy to wear over hoodies, flannel shirts or polos, it is reasonably warm and mildly breathable. A sound option to layer up for outdoors in Spring or Autumn or wear over a t-shirt if working inside. I'm 6'2", 85kg with long arms a medium fits me well, indicating this Redkap sizing runs large. It has two large inner pockets sealable with press studs, good for phones or notebooks, two outer pockets, one that has a stud and showerproof coating - which is surprisingly effective in medium rain. One complaint is that stitching seems a bit patchy - and while nothing has come undone yet, I have removed more than a couple of loose strands. Pretty happy overall given fit, subtle style and it's suitability as comfortable, practical workwear.

This jacket ended up being a winner for me, and I was delighted to find this particular one. I was trying to replace an aging 'WeatherProof' jacket which had sleeves a bit too long with me and I had tolerated for years. I was looking for something that had some insulation (not paper thin) and was comfortable with the right sleeves. This Red Kap jacket ended up being the ticket. First off the insulation ended up being a little thicker even than I imagined, and the outer material was a nice canvas style quality. The lining was soft and quilted, and not itchy. Also, the sleeves are cuffed, but the cuff is hidden inside the material, so the cuff is not visible. I usually do not like cuffed sleeves, but this one is unique, as the cuff keeps the warmth in, but is hidden by the outer canvas style sleeve. I'm 5' 7" about 160 lbs and went with 'Medium' and it is just perfect. The sleeves end right at my wrists, and the fit is nice. Not baggy, but not tight either. I can wash my hands with the jacket on and not have to worry about 'pulling up the sleeves' or having the sleeves ride down. For Florida, I would say this jacket is absolutely perfect paired with a short-sleeved shirt for about 62 down to 48 degrees (62 degrees to 48 degrees). It might be a little too thick for a morning in the (62, up to 70) degree range. For that purpose, I have a London Fog non-insulated windbreaker which takes the edge off but not too hot. This Red Kap jacket, for me, is good from low 60's down to upper 40's or so. And it really feels comfortable outside when its in the 50 degree range (for me). Your tolerances may differ. If it's really really cold, I might wear a thicker flannel lined jacket with a flannel shirt, but rare for here. The majority of the time this Red Kap hits the sweet spot for a January Florida morning. Not to mention the comfort was better than expected. For the price I paid, I got better overall than I expected. I would buy it again. Also, it's made in Mexico, it came packaged in a sealed bag, but there is no tag on it. It seemed new, but whether it was used or not I couldn't say as the quality was better than expected and I'm keeping it regardless. 9/10. There were a couple of loose threads to trim upon receipt, but it was no big deal. The jacket serves it's intended purpose nicely. Overall, I got better quality than I thought I was going to get at the price range.

Not the same as in the picture. I had to return it. don’t get it the material is bad

Sizing is a bit off. I bought a large and it fits like a medium. Can’t wear it with a hoody under. Have had it for a month and worn maybe 3-4 times. The cuffs are fraying; the button broke. Just spend the money and get carhartt or tough duck

I was issued a similar jacket at my previous place of employment but I can’t wear it at my current place of employment due to the logos. So I was pleased to find this jacket. It’s inexpensive and surprisingly high quality. The buttons on the pockets make me more comfortable when working with things in my pockets. The inner pockets are nice too. I like the elastic cuffs, it makes for a more insulated feel. And the flap covering the zipper is by far my favorite feature, I never worry about the zipper getting caught or scratching any car when I’m working. Overall a nice jacket. I ordered a large which is my normal size and it fits just right. Not to snug to where I get too hot but not too big to where I feel weighted down.
