“Style over Substance”

“This is a great looking jacket and quite stylish. The functionality of the jacket is a bit lacking.Although this jacket boasts 8 or so pockets, it does not include the all important side hand pockets. If you want to keep your hands warm, you will have to use the waist level pockets which are positioned awkwardly and not ideal.At the neck there is some sort of wind guard which seems like a good idea. The problem is its really hard to button and unbutton. And this is without gloves on. With gloves I would say it would be near impossible.Inside the sleaves are elastic cuffs with thumbholes. When I read this it seemed like a great idea aswell. Now after wearing the jacket for awhile, they are more of a hinderance and i wish they werent there.Finally, Its not a big deal for me but may be for others. the zippers are not waterproof. They dont have that seal that other waterproof jackets have.This jacket looks great and fits comfortably, but the functionality of the jacket was not well thought out by the designers. If you dont really care about that and just want to buy a really great looking jacket, then go for it. But if you are looking for functionality and a true waterproof jacket, look elsewhere.”
