kojak Posted October 20, 2010 Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 I'm not sure if it's been mentioned anywhere else, but Condor renamed this jacket as the Summit and released a new version called the Phantom. The Phantom is available now and has a few much needed changes: No more hood, and therefore a much shorter collar (the enormous collar was my biggest gripe with the "Summit" softshell. Blocked construction, which hopefully means it's somewhat fitted instead of the shapeless blob of the Summit. Front slash handwarmer pockets instead of Napoleon chest pockets. It's basically a softshell version of the micro fleece jacket (without the thumb holes); they've also released a fleece version of the original softshell. The fleece lining means it's still a little too warm for airsofting in my region, but I could see myself getting a black one for hiking and running errands on a rainy day.

Isamu Posted October 20, 2010 Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 Thanks for the input, I will have to wait until December to get one (damn surprise expenses... ) And for the summit and phantom thing... I still like the Summit more than the phantom, hope the summit gets a bit cheaper due to "competence" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
beta08 Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 Dang, I just bought the Summit a few weeks ago (medium tan) and now would rather have the Phantom instead. >.< Great jacket nonetheless. I may just have to buy the fleece. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

danielsilva Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 Yeah i also found it here http://www.desertdeucesurplus.com/servlet/the-1427/Condor-Phantom-Soft-Shell/Detail I'm inclined to buy from here since it also has the Tru-Spec H20 trousers in MARPAT that i was trying to find in stock.

Ian24 Posted November 9, 2010 Report Share Posted November 9, 2010 I've bought a Summit-version from Evike a few months ago and use it rather like an everyday vest... And I must say that it's pretty good... Gave it an extra rain protective coating and in the rainy Belgium weather nothing passes through. Like someone allready said, the hood makes the collar thick but it's still useful to have it on those rainy days. Surely because you can fully adjust the hood to fit your head well... I have a size Medium and I'm 1m80 and 76 kg. It fits nice and leaves some space to allow thicker clothing under it... I've always loved Condor gear (pouches and stuff) but never tried their clothing line... I'm expecting an order from Vegas_vixin on ebay containing several items (base pull over, watch cap, gloves, phantom softshell and hoodie fleece) Alot of the gear is for professional use...

ericfine50 Posted November 9, 2010 Report Share Posted November 9, 2010 I have their new Phantom version (Or Gen 2 Soft Shell) and it is pretty good. It has held up to the rain and wind very well here in the New England. After wearing it for two weeks, I am interested in their fleece (Gen 1 -as I am not a huge fan of hoods). For the price, I think you get a lot of bang for your buck. Enjoy Eric Quote Link to post Share on other sites
vilerk Posted November 9, 2010 Report Share Posted November 9, 2010 Anyone else experience any problems withe the zippers? One of my hood zippers came off halfway, and the main zipper got a little jammed, so I had to force it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

l96ninja Posted November 17, 2010 Report Share Posted November 17, 2010 Anyone think I can pass one of these new Phantom's off with a fleece under & BDU top and be set for 20 degree F weather? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
beta08 Posted November 20, 2010 Report Share Posted November 20, 2010 I personally have made it through with just a BDU top and t-shirt in colder weather than that. You should definitely be set with the fleece + Phantom combo. Still loving my softshell by the way. I am tempted to pick up another in Black or Foliage. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GingaNinga Posted November 21, 2010 Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 Just picked up mine. I am 6'2 (186cm), with short legs and a long torso. I got the XXL based on feedback that they fit small, and it is a bit short for me in the torso. Great jacket otherwise, and I am looking forward to trying it at my next game. Thanks to everyone for the feedback in this post, I had been looking for a fair priced, quality jacket like this! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wingmann Posted November 22, 2010 Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 contactleft.co.uk have them. I could order from the US, pay insane shipping and still get it cheaper than there... Not a valid option I'm afraid. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ericwilliam Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 Just recieved my Condor softshell, I am 5'11, 165lbs, and the Large fits me nearly perfectly. great build quality for the price, Definately recommend it! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
garret218 Posted December 1, 2010 Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 For all you short people out there, I just received my jacket in size small. I'm 5'4" (162.5 cm), wear a small/short BDU top and 36/short flight suit, and the jacket fits me well. On a side note, I don't know if it's already been mentioned but I got mine in foliage green and my jacket looks a little bit darker than the pictures of the FG jackets on Airsoft GI and the Condor Outdoor website. I still like the color though, it's just not what I expected. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Special K Posted December 1, 2010 Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 I've had mine for a year now, 2X in OD and I still love this soft shell. I gave one to my brother as a gift and he wears it most every day in the colder months, his is OD as well in XL. Colors is still good and everything still works good as new. The bottom of the zipper on mine likes to creep open ever so slightly, but all in all not a big deal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shadow_Ocelot Posted December 2, 2010 Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 Asking for one of these guys for Christmas, either in FG or Tan . Here's to hoping! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tnx I'd go a size larger than normal. They do run a touch small. I just picked up another in tan. Edited December 12, 2010 by Special K Quote Link to post Share on other sites
