Special Blend Utility Shell Jacket - Men's

Special Blend continues to stand by their product's quality. I got this jacket at the begining of the season and it worked great for me, super steeze and more pockets than a clepto could ask for. My jacket started to come apart at one of the seams and at first i was bummed because i was like damn, now i gotta get a new jacket or be off the mountain for a hot minute while they warranty it. Good news, sent the jacket in on monday and it was replaced by friday. sure the jacket failed me but everyone has bad days. I'm just glad there's a company out there that still stands by its name and steps up o the plate when the shit hits the fan.

i got this jacket a couple weeks ago, even though it is a guys jacket it's sick as fuck. lots of compliments, i got a size small so it fits large, extra steezy. super waterproof, very warm. highly recommend it, purple is the color of this season.

I got this jacket in the denim color and it's great! The color is dark gray and is not a denim color, which I like. It is totally waterproof and is very comfortable with a baggy fit. The only thing It doesn't have is wrist gaiters but I can get over that. Best jacket for the price!

Takes about 10min to find all the little features built into this jacket! Excellent shell for the money, high waterproof rating should keep me plenty dry this season snowboarding. Keep in mind this had NO insulation, it is purely a shell so be prepared to layer on cold days. The only small gripe with it is the sizing. I bought a small and I'm about 5'10" 140lbs and this thing fits pretty gangster. It'll go well with my baggy Foursquare pants, but there is no way I could wear this around town like my Sessions jacket.

Overall very nice quality and finish, tons of little details added in by SB (Cool metal hardware etc).

This jacket is great, basically. Originally, without any prior knowledge of SB products, I ordered a M cuz I'm size M in everything else (5'9", 145) and I was swimming in it. Some of my more gangster friends liked it that way, but I'm more low-key than str8 g if you know what I'm sayin. Anyway, I returned it for a small and it fits perfect now. It feels real heavy when I pick it up, but the weight isn't noticeable when it's on. The color I got is like the brown plaid one (perhaps last yr's model), which is quite baller if I do say so myself. The outside is like cloth-feeling texture, but literally the first time I wore it out it was pouring rain at the bottom of the mountain and snowing at the top, and I was completely dry either way. Totally baller+functional. The liner is awesome, too. I wish I could get underpants made out of the same material. There's not really any insulation in this jacket, but the most I've worn under it is like a short sleeve t-shirt and some long underwear and I've never really been cold in it. In fact, when I get warm in it, the pit zips work great. I used it from Thanksgiving to Spring Break, and it's great for all temps/weather. So now ur asking is this too good to be true, sir. No it is not, is the answer. That being said, I do have a couple nitpicks for ya. First, part of the cuff of this jacket is like some kind of neoprene, which, when my glove gauntlet gets soaked, gets soaked by proxy, and then my long underwear cuff gets wet and I get angry, which is good for nobody. Secondly, there's like two pieces of velcro on the flaps in addition to the zipper to the two side pockets and I can undo the zipper just fine, but the velcro is sometimes a little obnoxious to open, too, like w/ gloves or whatever. But really, the cuffs don't get wet that often and I probly need new gloves anyway there like 10 years old, and what do I ever put in those pockets to begin with? There's like 800 pockets located elsewhere. So who cares. It's completely quality all-around and I'm totally sold on SB stuff now. To summarize for ya book report style, I would recommend this to anyone looking for a good time/jacket.

I got this SB jacket with the matching pants and they are so sick. I get lots of compliments on how i look. The jacket is MASSIVE. only thing thats bad is theres only 1 small pocket for your iPod and 1 pocket for gloves on the inside....
Outside pockets are big tho.
So far the best jacket ive ever had.

nice jacket kept me warm and dry. i got a few compliments too, i would recommend it

this jacket is extra steezy, it fits big. it is not very warm though so you will need to lair up. lots of pockets. over all an awesome jacket and its very waterproof

Just ordered this on whiskey in that cool blue/green/white pattern. Have yet to use it in real conditions but I know it will hold up well like all my other SB outerwear. I found the fit of this jacket better than my other SB/Foursquare jacket. I don't swim nearly as much in this jacket (medium) as my Foursquare Adams jacket of the same size. This jacket is so steezy I can't wait to use it next season.
