"A great jacket, with one poor feature. However the pluses outweigh the single minus; it was a good purchase and I am overall very pleased with it. I'm counting on this to get me through many low-light, wet and windy runs!"AlohaKarina

Quality of Construction

Well-made jacket, highly reflective and extremely visible neon yellow. It's a great jacket for low-light runs, especially in wintertime.

(4)

Fit

Fits great except for the sleeves, which could be a bit more roomy. Using it to layer over a fleece jacket makes it a bit snug.

(4)

Comfort

Again, layering with a fleece jacket underneath is a tiny bit of an issue. The arms are not as free to move, it's a bit restrictive.

(5)

Durability

Seems well-made so far. I pinned a race number to it though and the holes didn't look like they "healed" really well.

(4)

Value

It's pricey for basically a nylon shell, but I knew it would be. It's highly reflective, neon-colored, and water- and wind-proof, which is what I wanted, so the price was worth it to me.

(5)

Appearance

Love the look of it. If you're not afraid of being seen in a crowd, this is a great jacket. They sure stand out at 5K races!

(5)

Performance

Ran on a wet, windy day. Didn't feel the wind; had to open the jacket as a matter of fact when I got hot. It was truly waterproof too. Wish I could say the same for my wind pants!

Strengths

Highly visible, very reflective front and back, bright color, mp3 player pockets inside and outside. Roomy pockets that can handle gloves and hat. Handled wind and water beautifully. Great for layering in winter.

Weakness

The restricted arm movement when you wear a fleece jacket underneath is a bit of a bummer. However, I suppose you could just wear a fleece vest instead and that'd do the trick.
