Good looking but not for serious use

By jam Ranked #86 - Men's Windshirts and Jackets January 13, 2011

I'd only consider this as a light urbanwear jacket. It's not a serious softshell for outdoor use.

I've also had the cuff stitching come lose. I've never used this jacket with gloves, so that's not the cause. Nor have I ever used this for any rugged activity. It doesn't affect the function of the jacket, but it should not happen on a $200 piece of clothing.

The outer fabric was easy to tear- I walked into a door handle and freakishly managed to tear a hole in the sleeve. So I would never use this jacket for climbing.

The lack of a lining in the sleeves is good for layering over long sleeved shirts, but it makes the jacket unsuitable for cooler temperatures or for aerobic activity over a t-shirt as the sleeves won't wick moisture- they just get clammy.
