Is $79.99 a good price for this jacket?

It is the lowest of the five stores listing it new as of November 8, 2026, so it is a good price against current listings. Rothco tactical fleeces often sell in the $70 to $100 range, so this is near the bottom of that band.

It runs roomy and boxy, cut for layering over a shirt or base layer. Many owners size down for a closer fit.

Is it warm enough for winter?

It is a midweight fleece, good for cool weather and as a mid layer. For freezing or windy conditions, wear it under a shell.

What patches fit the shoulder loop fields?

The loop fields are 3¾ inches square, sized for standard morale, flag and unit patches. Larger flags will overhang.

Does it have concealment pockets?

Yes. It has two interior drop pockets plus the chest and slash pockets, all behind the front zip.

Is it windproof or waterproof?

No. It is polyester fleece with a tricot lining, so it blocks little wind and soaks up rain without a shell over it.
