So that time of year where the spooks, specters and han solos come out is here once again. Its finally getting chilly and going with just a t-shirt is not the best option so it time to add a layer. Now most folks the first thing they reach for this time of year is their favorite hoodie. With that in mind lets have a chat about the Viper Tactical tactical fleece hoodie. These hoodies are made of acrylic fleece and come in a variety of tacticool colors. Each sleeve has a hook and loop field for all your sweet meme patches, and thumb holes right before the elastic cuffs.  I bought 2, one in Green and one in Titanium. So whats good, well they are a perfect lounge around hoodie or hit the range on a slightly chilly day wear. They are a perfect layer component for when it colder, I would recommend putting under a shark skin jacket or a gortex to provide a wind proof layer.   Heck might even go great under a combat smock.  The thumb holes are great little touch and if you slide you hands in your gloves with your thumbs in the hole it provides a nice seal area to help keep your hands warm. I did that several time and even added hand warmers and helped keep my hands nice and toasty in sub zero temperatures. And for a price man the price on these makes you do a double take cause a hoodie under 60 bucks is unheard of. That's right I said under 60 bucks, with shipping your looking at around 40 bucks for one of these.  You can find them on amazon or military 1st websites, however if you order from amazon its coming from military 1st anyway so why not cut out the middle man. Sizing I would say is ok as I as a rule buy Xl hoodies because large is never long enough in the arms for me, but with these in xl it puts the thumb holes at the perfect spot for my thumbs. Torso length is pretty good for conceal carry whether you in waist band or outer waistband carry.  So are is there anything bad, not really I would say there are some annoying things like the look and look field is kinda small if you put one flag patch on it covers most of the field. So for the most part if you intend to used it as a layer then I wouldn't worry about putting patches on but if you just want to rock it on its own you might have a tough time trying to decide the patches you want to rock.  They next thing that should be of not is that the QA might not be the best as the stitching for the kangaroo pocket on one of the hoodies quickly came undone, while on the other one has had no issues.  So I don't know if maybe I got one from a bad batch of the green ones but its only happened to the one.

Overall I would say pick a couple up and rock em at the range or under a jacket when it get a little to cold for you, but as a day to day they tend to stand out, and that's something no Grey person would want, however throwing one of these into a edc pack for a lightweight layer is something worth considering.  So if you are in the market for a good fleece layer, or need another hoodie for your significant other to snag, and you don’t have to break the bank.  Be Safe Be Smart Be Ready
