What owners single out
In their words
“Very comfy jacket, pleasant to wear. Pockets are strangely placed, breast pocket tiny. Only worn in light rain over past month and has worked well. Hood has good fit over helmets.”
Jim · verified purchase · houdinisportswear.com
“It's stylish garment. Soft, quiet and comfortable. Also, I like it because it's recyclable. But the permeability is sub par and I have to open the pit zip during activities.”
