User Review by Julia Armstrong

I love this jacket! The colour is perfect and it's the sort of jacket I would wear out and about, as well as for running. It's so stylish!

I like the zip pockets which were an excellent size - big enough for my iphone, Shotbloks, loo paper and house keys. The collar made from soft material, was lovely against the neckline and there was no chaffing at all. It was very breathable and well ventilated at the back. It's been such a mild winter that I need the wicking material as I'm putting on my jacket then getting too hot! But this was ideal as I did sweat, but I didn't get cold. I did question how protective this jacket would have been on a freezing day, but it's lightweight enough to wear with layers.

The reflective strips were very well placed on the arms and at the back, which is always reassuring on dark winter nights. It was also really handy to be able to fold away the jacket into the pocket, ideal for travelling to races across the world (something I do a lot of). The zips were very easy to do up and down, but there was no pull cord at the bottom, which made it breathable but meant there was potential for cold air to get in. However the windproof material meant it kept me warm on a windy November day. The price was brilliant for such a good quality jacket.
