The CCW aspect of this hoodie is a very simple but effective way of accessing your firearm. The size of the hoodie itself & the kangaroo pocket w/ hole on inside are big enough to reach all the way to the side of your hip. The construction seems like it will hold up for a long time & the material feels very soft & comfortable. The only 2 issues i have so far are the side zipper, its very light & cheap causing u to use 2 hands to open & close, & the access hole inside kangaroo pocket, although it works well for its intended purpose, I wish there was some kid of way to secure it when not carrying, like a button or zipper, cuz items in the actual kangaroo pocket can fall out easily. But if u wear it only for carry purpse, then its not an issue (if ur a handy person, a zipper can be sewn on the inside making the CCW access an option). Overall I really like it. Fits nice & lose without being too baggy. With a base layer, it is very warm & the price is excellent compared to other CCW hoodies on the market. Just wish green was an option when I bought mine, may have to get another one in green.
