My jacket and pants came today! So stoked! The jacket is an XL, and it comes a few inches above my knees, I'm 5'10". The pants are large and super baggy, but not super wide like first drop, which is fantastic. Super good fit. It's actually tall and narrow like they market it. Pics below. The quality of the fabric is also way higher than I expected. It's definitely competitive with some of the top brands, which is suprising for a first year company. I'll definitely be supporting them in the future!

Here's mine! Large pants and a large jacket, I love it! High quality fabric like everyone else and I love the wrist gaiters and magnetic hood Bloom did amazing this year.

If these quality reviews keep coming through I'll be picking up a Bloom jacket next year. Nice work guys. I'd like to see a proper in-depth review on the waterproofing, durability and breathability a la Smuggs if possible.

I got my XL Onward Jacket Yesterday
Overall super stoked zip off sleeves are sick and the material feels real good.
One problem..The snap on the bottom of the jacket is junk. I wore my jacket around yesterday,and that snap would not stay closed. When I got home and took the jacket off half of it was gone from the jacket..It was luckily on my floor, but I'm really not stoked about that. All the other snaps work fine though. I feel as if the snap got a wrong piece put into it..

Any explanation Jim?

Hey Robert, if it appears there was a manufacturing defect, don't wear it anymore, send it back to me and I can get you another jacket. That's not meant to happen obviously haha.

I think the fit of blooms outerware looks awesome, and talking to jim really highlighted how great their customer service is. From what i can tell jims a great dude and hes totally backing his product. Stoked to see this startup doing work and will most likley buy some in a year or 2 when i have $$

I would say you guys definitely got something going. What people need is a company that prides itself in its customer service. Saga is a prime example, but you guys bring more variety to the table. Keep working hard guys, this drop is sick, I only see Bloom going upwards from here.

this 100%
i tried working with another company the first year they came out, and to be honest they had nothing going for them. They were not good at getting back to emails, they didnt have their shit together, they rarely got real pics of their gear. But Bloom, super legit, they got their shit on lock.
Super sick Jim

Yeah definitely, we will most likely have an end of the season sale with some good deals. We have been getting good feedback so far. In all honesty, the gear by far exceeded my expectations. Our manufacturer did a great job. I think we have caught a lot of people of guard for a first year company because of how nice the gear really is.
