In the market for a tactical soft-shell that I could attach morale patches to, carry a lot of small items, but also wear around town without looking like I just stepped off a plane from the warzone I was dead-set on the Arc'Teryx DRAC jacket from their LEAF line. Even with a pro-deal that would've saved me 50% I'm glad I passed and bought the Condor at a substantial savings. The Phantom has two internal pockets and a chest pocket that the DRAC lacks. The construction is great. The inside is well put together without the pocket liners flopping around like cheaper jackets. The water repellent qualities are fantastic as we're currently in the middle of a storm dumping inches of rain and I was bone dry after standing outside for 20 minutes. The shell isn't too stiff, though don't expect fleece-like softness. The lining, however, is very comfortable...time will tell how tenaciously it hangs onto dog fur, though.The fit is what I would call slightly fitted. It's not a form hugging athletic fit, but it's also not baggy. Perfect. It's not constricting at all, but not sloppy. If I decide to conceal a weapon on my hip there's no imprinting. I'm 5'-10.5", 175 lbs with a 41" chest, and a 32" waist. I'm always seemingly between a M and L. I bought the Large and am extremely pleased. Absolutely perfect fit. I can easily get a couple layers underneath it, or wear it with just a t-shirt without having it bunch up. The neck is a bit loose, but it easily allows you to turtle your head down to keep your face warm.Bottom line? You're nuts to consider buying something along the lines of a DRAC (unless your company/agency is picking up the tab...and even then the Condor has more features), or to save a couple bucks and buy a cheaper option out there. The Condor Phantom is an incredible value.
