“The quality looks and feels great
The ventilation zippers work great when biking and the wind chill is freezing but still work up a sweat.
A little too noisy/crinkly when moving but not an issue
My only criticism is the pockets are basically horizontal and I constantly drop anything I keep in the pockets including my phone and a beanie I lost after it fell out. (In their defense, it does have a zipper to close the pockets, I just forget to use it)
The inside pockets are like a mesh net which I love and tend to use more than the outside pockets.
The hood fits over my helmet, drawstrings tighten it nicely
The pictures makes it look grey but in reality it looks more olive green which was a pleasant surprise.
I wish it had the longer bit in the lower back to prevent a draft, but I find myself using the waist tightening drawstring thingies all the time and keeps me warmer
Wearing this over my puffer jacket definitely nice and warm
4.5/5 will definitely be taking this with me on my cross country bike tour”
“Few days after arriving tested on a several hour gravel ride, about half the time with light drizzle and good 20-30 minutes coming down in buckets near end of the ride. Jacket performed great, stayed dry with no issues overheating (temps in the upper 50's F). Goldilocks fit around my neck...not too tight but just right to keep rain out during the downpours. Fabric lining in the neck is great feature, super comfortable. Main zipper was easy to use with one hand while riding without any annoying binding on the way back up. I rode with front vents open, except during downpours, and they worked really well, no rain worked it's way in. I did use without the hood, have to wait and see how that works for me but suspect it'll be fine. Really like the "stretch" in the fabric as well. First use was a big thumbs up, love this jacket. Almost now hoping for rain!”
