What is the difference between this and the 5.11 5 in 1 jacket? is the parka longer? I understand that the 5 in 1 can be turned into a vest, which I could care less about.

The parka is longer than the jacket. It is not good if you have a gun belt but for personal use it is great.

5.11 offers excellent and extremely warm parkas. They can be converted into a fleece lined jacket such as the parka, or a vest as with the 5 in1 jacket. Both offer the same features and warmth though the parka is slightly longer.

I'm not sure. I do know this is the absolute best cost I've ever owned. It's very warm in the coldest conditions. I know this wasn't the answer you're looking for. I recommend this cost to all my friends

I have two of these jackets, love them, but I am 5' 10", about 185 and wear an xl, they are not super tight, plenty of room for a sweatshirt, so I'm guessing you could wear a medium unless your planning on wearing multiple layers underneath.

I had originally ordered the 1.5" and ended up ordering the 1", the 1.5 measures 5" around (circumference) the 1" measures 3.5" I hope this helps you decide :-)

That's probably at the edge of it, if you're talking about jacket and bibs. I sat in an ice hut with good heat in my bibs and a sweatshirt and I was fine, but I wouldn't want to have kept the jacket on. Obviously personal tolerance comes into play. It's definitely the best deep cold suit for the money - worth every penny.

I'm interested in size info too... I'm looking to wear it over my motorcycle riding jacket. Sounds like I should buy a size up.

It's not Crye, do there are differences in the pattern. Shirt color, way darker but I run both in my kit. I prefer the 5.11 due to the material is a lot better for hot environments.

The best I can help you with is the one you described and I bought was a XXL and it does have the foil lining. It is very warm and comfortable to wear. I think your best bet would be to contact Columbia to see if the tall jacket might have the same metallic reflective lining. Hope this helps.

Not sure I understand the question. As I understand it,it is worn under parka or shell jacket not zipped to it. I wear mine under a EMS shell jacket and I've not been cold even in the crazy cold weather we're having in Ma. Hope that helped.

As you are wearing this jacket, the zipper would be on your right. Make sure the zippers match. This item is a military issue jacket, and was not designed to be zipped into the military gortex parka; this is for several reasons, one being of tactical flexibility. It is almost exactly the same as the jacket I was issued in the army in the mid-90's, except with some minor design differences that reflect a different manufacturer fulfilling the government contract.

Hi I wore it all winter in Wisconsin, but needed to have layers. My son plays hockey and it worked well for that but if I was going to be outside for a bit I needed something a bit heavier. I love the jacket, but wish the hood wasn't so flaky (it never stayed up). It does run small-I needed to order a size bigger than what I did.

Hi there, you are almost the same size/weight of me, I bought an XL, it is only a little bit loose (mentioning that I only wear one T-shirt underneath as I live in an area with very hot weather) so with that being said, if you live in a cold place and planning to wear more than just one t-shirt underneath this jacket, then the XL is the right choice for you I think.

I'm really surprised that Amazon doesn't give measurements on all their dog life jackets. The first one I bought was way too small (another brand) but I'd guess you'd need a small. There are a couple of other measurements I've seen that might make a difference. I did look up Kyjen Life jackets online and found a chart. You might want to try that. You do want a good fit.

I bought mine XTRA large so I could fit a coat underneath. It is roomy and comfortable. As far as cutting it off, why would you want to. I chose this one because it was long and covered my knees. Didn't want water draining down my pants! If you want a shorter coat I'd find another style rather that cut this one.

This doesn't zip inside the parka, it's meant to be worn as the layer right underneath. It's a high-quality fleece - under a ecws parka it'll keep you warm.

I don't think there is a difference...the cold gear UA garments that I have are all very similar, whether they have EVO in the name or not. I have some of their older gear, not EVO, and it's the same fabric more or less...the EVO may be tighter is the only thing I noticed.

I'm a woman who usually takes about a size 12-14 in regular clothes. I've been wearing a Medium size vest for about 4 years now, with a polo shirt underneath, and it's quite comfortable. The Small would be way too small for me. Large would be ok if I was wearing it in very cold weather and wanted a lot of layers underneath. The vest is meant to be roomy but it is in no way fitted. The pockets are its best feature (21-23, depending on how you count). I'm a docent at a major zoo, and we use these vests as part of our uniforms. I liked them so much that I bought one of my own for vacations. The many pockets mean that I don't have to carry a purse or bag when I travel. Hope this helps.

I got an automated "can you answer this" email from amazon.I think the top number in the size chart in amazon is the "Jacket Size". Similar to when you buy a suit off the rack. From there it lists chest, waist etc...I recommend going to their website for sizing info (that's what i did). I bought an extra-large and my typical suit size would be a 42-44. It fits closely with the liner in and is short. But that is the fit of a motorcycle jacket. So if you plan to ride without the liner go a bit smaller, if you will ride mostly with the liner go a bit bigger.I like the jacket. Good luck.
