What owners single out
In their words
“This jacket is well made and just what I need for Spring and Fall in Michigan. The eggplant color is great, pockets, sleeve length are great too. Sometimes sleeves are too short for me but these are long enough. Lots of Velcro on the jacket front and sleeve cuffs, some of which gets caught on each other that you don’t want, like sleeves on jacket front. I would still recommend to others.”

“Unlike some others, this has a netting inside arms to help prevent sticking. It is a nice jacket but I can’t speak to how rainproof it is. If you’re not in a downpour, I think it would be fine. As others have mentioned, the Velcro everywhere is an annoyance but I am keeping the jacket. Size 1x is good for sweatshirt allowance for me.”
