Ambient 100 Hooded Jacket Reviews

Not what I expected
The jacket was light and thinner than I expected. It felt more like one of those loose warm-up jackets from the 80s. The outer shell would likely pick on everything and I thought it best to return it.

Intriguing piece, happy with it
The Ambient 100 feels like a niche top but after actually receiving it, putting it on, etc. I could see wearing it all. the. time. It is warm, super-light, and trim but not tight. I ordered a Large and it should be perfect inside waders, under a vest or heavier outer shell, and even alone during turkey season or cold mornings fishing, which is exactly what I was hoping for. I can draw a bow and mount a gun without it feeling tight. For reference, I have a 45" chest and 38" waist (32. 5" sleeve in dress shirts), putting me right in between sizes on the size chart (5'9. 5", 210lbs). Before it arrived, I was worried I should've ordered an XL but for what I am looking for - a high performance, non-bulky mid layer that can be a light outer layer in shoulder season conditions and go on every trip with me, I'll stick with the Large. I wouldn't wear a button-down shirt or anything underneath that would bunch up, but with a shear-fitting long sleeve base layer like a Core 1/2 zip, as I'm planning, it should be great. If I have an initial complaint, the hood stands a little tall but snugs down if I pull it down a bit in the back. Is it dead quiet? No, but it is pretty darn quiet and sufficient for my intended uses.

Nice addition to the lineup
I have a Kelvin Lite Down and the old Kelvin Lite Active, and bought this to complement those pieces. This coat is more like a light fleece than a jacket, is lighter than the original Kelvin Active, and is very comfortable. I wear it alone when walking the dog on cool mornings or later it under the Jetstream for cool mornings on early to mid season hunts.

Favorite new jacket
The second I put this on I knew it was going to be my new favorite jacket. It's incredibly light and comfortable but also surprisingly warm. I took it on a bear hunt this spring and was impressed how well it worked through a large range of temperatures. I was also able to hike with it on at mid temps without it being too warm. Awesome jacket.

Great technically… durable as Kleenex
This jacket is meant to be worn under other layers. But even if that’s the purpose just know the face fabric is about as durable as a Kleenex. This will pill if a rough surface even glances in the direction of the jacket. If you were to be around a blue collar person and heaven forbid you are one simply rubbing this with calloused hand would cause this to nearly fall apart. I actually love this jacket for warmth and it is quite versatile but there is something I loathe about high end gear that has to be absolutely babied or replaced after even the lightest of uses if put to the test. Gear has this sliding scale that begin at dirt cheap and also incredibly fragile, then moves to good durability and solid price (ie justified), then it hits the Sitka/Arc’teryx level where you get this high end gear with almost obscene prices however the sliding scale of price and durability instead goes at Mach 1 in opposite directions. This has to be absolutely babied to keep in good condition and could never be worn as a stand alone item. This is use after about 1. 5yrs but zero hard uses and honestly was primarily used as a jacket in winter while commuting. Not sure how this can claim the face fabric adds durability because it just ain’t. If I were them I wouldn’t even mention durability in the description

Loved this jacket but. . . one major flaw.
I love this lightweight comfortable jacket, great in cool weather into the 50s, but the one thing I don't like is that this jacket's hand pockets are not lined (unlike the Ambient 200 which is). That's why it gets 4 stars, not 5 for me, given the price point of this jacket. I'm 5'11, 155 lbs, and a Medium fits great by the way.

Extremely comfortable piece that I will have on every hunt from here out. Outer layer received pilling day 1 from my seatbelt. Not a big deal as its performance is more important than cosmetics. I’m generally an XL in everything. It fits great except for length. Runs short for my build. 6’4 215lbs.

Like the jacket - sleeve easily tore - NOT durable
I like the jacket very much (it's light and breathable) but was disappointed when the cuff easily tore pulling it on over other gear. The rubber at the end of the sleeves keeps out the wind but is too small for my XL gloved hands to slip through and so tore far too easily -now there is no wind protection on my left hand and the tear is growing.
