      You are totally biased. I am British and have American relations. I have travelled the world extensively including the States many times.
      Unfortunately, your constitution allows the right to bear arms. Even your police shoot first, Ann later. Every time there is a mass shooting in the US there are calls to change the gun laws. But, nothing happens.

    • @peterallen7433

      I meant to say, the very fact that you had to mention at all where you could ‘conceal’ a gun says it all. I remember when staying in NYC walking from 54th Street to City Hall. My American friend said that at least 3/4 of the people I passed would be carrying.

      Sadly, you haven’t a clue as to how it is in the UK. We’re not perfect by a long chalk . So you want me to stop commenting on your country. Is it because you are ashamed. The world is @ bad place, look what# going on in Ukraine right now. Perhaps we shouldn’t make comments about Putin. I give up with some of you guys.

    Great review, thanks. You just saved me from making a poor purchase. The absolute deal breaker for me is the lack of a draw string around the hood. Call me a cynic if you will but I am always wary of products that are heavily advertised on UA-cam and then come with a massive discount. However their advertising has worked in one way; I didn't realise that I needed a 'tactical' hoodie until I saw theirs. Now thanks to you I'm off down to the store to check out what the competition has to offer.😂

    The ad popped up and I clicked because it seemed like a decent hoodie. The first red flag was the instant deep discount. The second red flag was ticking clock to buy. I almost clicked buy, when I decided to see if anyone had reviewed it. Thank you - this is exactly what I was looking for. I did not buy.

      I was curious so I checked the website, it looked good but when I noticed that clock for a discount I already decided I wasn't going to buy it - these clocks are always for scam related products. And you should never buy anything without checking a review.

      If they were really selling out of stock, why would they waste resources telling you that they were running out. It's a cheap ploy, if they were really selling out they could drop the paid ads and let word of mouth do the job.

  • @jooleebilly
    @jooleebilly 2 роки тому +4

    Thanks for warning me off of this - it looks surprisingly cheap. It's not even lined! And about the: "Oh, we changed the design and took out a couple of the features you paid for." You're a generous man for not busting them for false advertising. I was on the site just now (April 2, 2022) and the pictures on that site look exactly the same as before - they show a pocket on each lower arm area, but you didn't get one. I don't trust them. I got a cheap hoodie at Grocery Outlet, of all places, and it lasted a long, long time. The inside wasn't lined either, but you could reach into the space between the jacket and the outside pocket was actually useable as an inside pocket! It had 4 real pockets, all with zippers, and it was $10. I guess that made it a tactical hoodie. Not to get too gross, but after surgery years ago, I had to have drains for a couple of weeks. I slipped the bulbs into those "bonus" pockets and I could go stealth and go back to work without embarrassment.
    I'd REALLY like to see a review of your favorite jackets/outerwear/hoodies with the right pockets for the job, like the one you wore under the Baerskin hoodie. Bonus points if you find any good ones for Left-handers. My right arm can't do the job because I snapped a bicep tendon up at the shoulder a couple of years ago and it couldn't be repaired, so my equipment has to be left-handed. More expensive, but at least I can use it!
    P.S. Much respect for your service. My grandpa was a Kentucky country boy who volunteered to serve in WWII. He was a 101st Airborne Paratrooper, accidentally dropped behind enemy lines during the Battle of the Bulge. He got hit in midair by flak, and Nazis operated on him to save his life so they could torture him for information (he had a field commission & they thought he knew battle plans). So he escaped, got captured again, then the war ended. Anyway, he shouted in his sleep every night for the rest of his life, "fightin' them krauts." he was the best man I've ever known. So thanks for doing your part. I know I'm not objective, but I tend to assume people who are or have been in the Service are good people.

    I was about to make a purchase on Amazon but , Thank God, it was unavailable. After reading your very thoughtful and unbiased review highlighting your pros and revealing your personal cons, I would never consider this purchase. You are unusually kind in somewhat dismissing the various flaws as not game changing but after reading other reviews, you might have had to get into overtime to get cooperation from customer service. You are very much appreciated by me.

    Women's zippers and buttons are traditionally on the left because historically buttons were worn by wealthy women who had maids dress them. The maids were mostly right handed, so it was for their convenience. The tradition held through the invention of the zipper, and continues to this day. Great review, chased me away from this come-on.

Furthermore, we develop our outdoor garments with only the best quality materials, and we are committed to continuously improving our products based on previous customer feedback. If you want to learn more about our product and operations, do not hesitate to get back to us. We hope you give our store a chance soon. Best,

The Version 2.0 addressed many of the issues (I did a review on that one) and the Version 3.0 - the current product (I reviewed the 3.0 recently) - addressed my final concerns. The 3.0 is now my go-to outdoor garment.

      Pop Gun, thanks for pointing me to American Giant. I like that they are made in America (North Carolina was once-upon-a-time a leader in garment manufacturing). However, none of their products had a chest pocket or zippered lower pockets, both of which I need in a mid-weight garment.
      I reached out to American Giant asking if they had any plans to add those features. If they do, I'd be happy to review one.

    I received my bearskin hoodie today and have been left pretty underwhelmed by it. To be honest, it's not something I would normally wear and only bought it because a friend suggested it, as I am off on a road trip through central Australia, and he thought it would be ideal on those cold nights. To me the hoodie looks pretty cheap. It has no style to it and is not made from the best material. I will be giving it to my friend as a gift, but gee, I wished I had come across your video prior to placing my order. Oh well, we live and learn, as they say. Thanks for the upload.

    Left and Right handed zips are to do with who is dressing the wearer.

    I would suggest people avoid the Baerskin products and company completely. I ordered in early October 2022, after a month, they shipped my order and provided a tracking number. The tracking number stopped tracking on Nov 23 with the statement "flight arrived". There is no way to track after this. I've messaged the company and emailed them several times to follow up on my order, which is over $300 worth of product, and they send an auto message that delivery "takes time". There is NO phone number that I can find to actually call them and they will not "live Chat" like their website says. It doesn't work. You have to leave a message on their chat and they say they will respond via email. Sometimes they respond, sometimes they do not. This is not near a reliable way to do business. I've asked for a refund and I bet I'll never hear a work back. BUYER BEWARE!

      not true Dr Squatch soap is awesome but to some degree theres always buyer beware. Looking for non partial reviews is key. The price of these things sets an expectation that they better be built to last and be amazingly warm. Biggest problem with buying clothes online is sizing is never perfect even if this video gives you an estimate. As a broad shoulder medium short guy its veery difficult to not buy a dress or hoodie that ends up too tight in the chest or arms end up way too long

      Hi there, thank you for your comment. We would like to assure you that the BÆRSkin Tactical Hoodie is an original product. While there may be some companies out there selling a seemingly similar hoodies to ours, we can assure you that the resemblance between our product and those imitation products is only surface-level. We invest in high-quality, long-lasting materials, and our products always come with a warranty from our manufacturer. You can easily spot our original hoodie, as we deliver our BÆRSkin Tactical Hoodie 2.0 in branded packaging, and branded labels are printed on the product. As for those other seemingly similar products, those certainly do not have any of our branding elements. We are not familiar with either the companies or their manufacturers. We hope this helps to answer your question. Don't hesitate to let us know if you have any further questions. Kind regards,

    A really, really good thing to look for when you see ads advertising products like this with massive, over the top promises is their website. If the website has TONS of "what our customers have to say about our product" - sections it is a scam 95% of the time or the product is nothing like advertised.
    They have to try their hardest to sell the product to you with false reviews blasted on your face so you don't go looking for videos or reviews like this video and just blindly buy it.
    Keep making videos like this, they are very beneficial to a lot of people, thank you.
    Edit. also another good indicator wether or not a site is trying to scam you is the classic "60% off ONLY TODAY/2 HOURS LEFT/FREE SHIPPING FOR THE NEXT 20 MINUTES ONLY/whatever". It's always like that, 247, the timer usually restarts when you refresh the page.
