Too much Velcro January 7, 2009
This is a comfortable and stylish jacket. It's lightweight and waterproof. I wear mine as a winter coat with a down liner and am comfortable down to 20 degrees F, or with a fleece liner for 30 to 55 degrees F. It has a hood, side pockets with zippers, and good sealing over seams and the front zipper. The zipper pulls are heavy-duty rubber, easy to use and not likely to fall off. There are small logos along the sleeve cuffs that are mildly reflective--it would have been nice to add some large reflective surfaces to the jacket, regardless of fashion.
The jacket has a few drawbacks, however. The pockets are rather shallow and lined with mesh, which while light weight, doesn't agree well with car keys. My biggest complaint is with the wild application of Velcro. There are Velcro strips on the sleeves, which is good, but backwards, with the sticky part facing out so that the sleeves catch on anything furry. The Velcro on the sleeves particularly likes to catch on the Velcro strips along the front zipper, or along the pockets. Knit gloves also catch along the same front zipper and pocket Velcro strips. Thus, I constantly find myself jerking hands and arms to free them from getting caught on the Velcro. If the Velcro had been more thoughtfully applied, I would have given the jacket 5 stars, but in my opinion, it merits only 4 because of the frustration factor.
