Condor Base II Zip Pullover 603-004 Tactical Reviews, Deals, Problems and Guides

DISCLAIMER: ORDER ONE SIZE UP FOR SNUG FIT. TWO SIZES UP FOR A LOOSER FIT.

Nice and light, but provides excellent warmth.

I was surprised when I first received the product because the feel was different from what I was expecting.
The fleece itself is much more compact. The fibers aren't loose and fluffy like on a Columbia or North Face fleece. Which in my opinion is a good thing, it most notably makes it much easier to dawn further garments. As the two fabrics slide against each other much easier.

The zipper is nice and deep to vent any excess heat should you need to. And comes with a little extra fabric to fold over the zipper at the top so your chin never touches cold metal. Well thought out.

Extra material at the seat to provide cover for lower back when moving or bending. And thumb holes to keep your sleeves up over the palms and knuckles. (Here comes the reason for 1/2 point off) the only issue I had when first trying on the garment was some loose stitching by the aforementioned thumb holes, which may or may not give me some trouble over time. nothing to report after two weeks with it, however.

Overall it feels nice, is very warm and is functional. It will keep you warm into the 50°s no problem. Paired with thicker outerwear and I'm confident you could easily reach sub-zero temps.

Just do yourself a favor and order this at the very least a size up. I'm thin with an athletic build and I ordered a size up and its a nice snug fit. So I would order two sizes up for a looser fit if that's what you're looking for.

Anyone that considers buying this pullover should plan on going at least one size larger, if not two. I wear a large for my Army issued "waffle top". The Condor pullover is identical in looks to the Army issue, but the sizing is horribly small. The first one I ordered was a large that fit like a small. I gave it to my wife. I reordered a XXL, and it fits like my Army issued one.

My youngest son was deployed to Iraq with the Marines and had two pullovers like this. ( the FROG stuff) He is wearing them to threads. I have looked everywhere for something similar with no luck. This is the closest thing I've found and he really liked it. However, the Large was a little snug for him, so lucky me, I now have a great pullover. I will be ordering the extra large for him.

I wear large waffle top in army brand of this. Was VERY skeptical of ordering larger size, but based on reviews I ordered 2XL. I don’t own any clothes except this in 2XL, but it was the right choice. Stomach and chest area are snug and fit well, but sleeves on this thing are pretty huge. 4.5/5 because of massive sleeve.

I like the way this shirt feels and fits my frame. I'm 5'11 and 165 pounds and the medium fits perfectly snug with an undershirt underneath it. The length on the arms and body is perfect. The holes for your thumbs is also a nice touch. I wish it came in navy blue. I have narrow shoulders and a thin pencil neck so the top of the shirt at the neckline doesn't fit as snuggly as I would like. However, I love this shirt and the price is awesome!

I bought this in xl like I do for every shirt or sweater I buy. It was VERY tight. I liked the price and the shirt itself, but the sizing is off. I will be ordering the Xxl, but still worry that it will be too small. So order a size up unless you like your shirts real snug.

The shirt itself will be warm and looks good.

Read the reviews. Bought one to try it on. The sizing is way off. I wear a large, but had to buy a 2XX for a loose fit. Then I bought two more XL for a snug fit. Now I knew what size to get both my sons. Overall, it a great shirt and I love the thumb holes at the bottom of the sleeves. I just wish the sizing was more accurate.

I wear this as a second layer over a UA Cold Gear fitted size medium long sleeve shirt, then a Medium 5.11 TDU top over it. I ordered the Pull over in Large, it is certainly designed to be a base layer and to a loose fitting garment. I think medium would have fit me just fine, but more of a "compression vs. fitted" style.

Shipped in a timely manner & quality material, only problem too small. Based upon reading other reviews, I ordered a size larger from a M to a L. Should have ordered 2 sizes larger. Would have sent back for next size but had removed tag to try on. Return policy is that all tags be on. Try on before removing any tags.

Good looking shirt that provides warmth and half decent protection from the wet conditions. Dries quickly. Overall good protection from the elements. Only downside is that it fits a little too snug in the chest and especially the neck area when fully zipped. I would recommend going up one size when purchasing.
