MICROFIBER JACKET

Bought it to replace a Weatherproof I have had for years and I love it!

I like this jacket. I had a really old WP jacket that got torn up, and I was glad to find one to replace it.

I bought this jacket 21 years ago for a three-week trip around western Europe. It is lightweight, water resistant and comfortable. I like the snaps on the 2 outer pockets and the zipper inner pocket for securing travel documents and cash. It is suitable for wear in a variety of weather conditions and as a lightweight jacket it is easily compressed and stored in my backpack. The backpack and roll-on small luggage were sufficient for European travel.

After years of hard use, the inner liner around the inside pocket zipper is separating so I will replace it with the same model Weatherproof jacket. I more than got my money's worth.

I was outside the other day for the first time with the jacket on...the results:

-temp was 38F-3.3C

-wind at 11mph

-wind chill appox. 28F

-jacket zipped all the way up

I must say I was surprised at how well this jacket repelled the wind.

For such a light-weight jacket it did well, considering the wind chill.

I didn't stay warm, but I did stay at a comfortable level for about 15 minutes, then it was getting too cold and I went inside.

So all-in-all I believe it to be a great wind-breaker for the price point!

Although I love your products I was a little disappointed in the tightness around the waist when zippered. There is no give once so ever. The quality is there as always just wish it had a little more room at the waist area. It would be nice if you considered making it more roomy in the waist area and put snaps on both sides if you would like it tighter. By the way, I am average height and weight for my size.
