This is the best jacket I’ve ever had owned.
I have a stealth LT that’s at least 12 to 13 years old from TAD, the one with the fleece line inside. Rare, now. One of my favorites.
I have an OG ranger from TAD that has served me very well and I still use her.
I have a 2023 PDW Paladin that will be my new work horse, now! (hiking, cold trail runs, mountain adventure, ghetto blaster jacket.
This defiant hoodie Trump’s all of my other quality jackets in every way.
I couldn’t be happier that I bought this piece of gear PDW, you have a very happy customer.

Awesome
Absolutely love this jacket. Sadly had to return it. I’m 6’4” 210lbs and ordered an XL, it was too short in the torso and arms. Wish it came on a long version.

My Defiant UFG Hoodie
Perfect for transitional weather or if you have to throw on something for errands. I especially like the option to snuggly fit the sleeves at the wrist; also, that the fabric is light, durable, and just enough to keep the torso warm and completely comfortable on windy days. Very satisfied with this purchase!

Good but check sizing
The hoodie fabric is great, burly ad breathable. Design/features are also very good. I am a standard medium in most things - Patagonia, Arcteryx, etc. and this is slightly tight across the chest/under the arms, enough that i am doubtful i can layer more than a base layer underneath the medium. Also the torso length is short…waist only, which i find is similar in other PDW tops. Sleeves on this are ok and the cut and velcro tabs at wrists are first rate. For comparison, sleeves and torso were so small on the shearling shirt jac that i had to trade up for a large from medium.
Reference: 6’1”, 160 lbs, 39-40 chest.

4 Season Wear
Schoeller 3XDRY®; Dry on the outside. Dry on the inside. Dry in a flash. 3XDRY® is a textile finishing technology that combines two functions into one textile.
Schoeller c_change®; Pine cones open when the outside temperature rises, and close again when the temperature drops. Inspired by nature, the c_change® membrane works on the same principle. It reacts in exactly the same way to ambient conditions. Not only the temperature but also the air and body moisture are taken into consideration.
Schoeller Cold Black®; heat absorption can be reduced to a minimum with coldblack®, the UVA- and UVB-protection textile finish from Schoeller Technologies. coldblack® reduces heat build-up and provides reliable protection from the sun’s rays. Consequently, the wear comfort of textiles can be noticeably improved.
