The jacket is nice and very sturdy, although it feels a bit rubbery. I usually choose XL, but this time L fits perfectly. For cycling or a brisk walk, just a T-shirt underneath is enough because you sweat anyway.

The Pentagon Artaxes Escape - Terra Brown jacket is a great choice! It has excellently made seams, lots of useful pockets, a beautiful colour and a modern cut! It fits the body well and performs even in the rain. Highly recommended!
-
Very good workmanship and high-quality material. The jacket fits great, keeps you warm, and doesn’t restrict movement. I chose the Raf Blue colour – interestingly, it came with a navy zip, but that doesn't bother me :) I have size S at 181 cm tall and 88 kg weight – the sleeves are a bit too long, but I can do it up at the neck with no trouble (I usually have problems with that). I also tried size M, but it would have been too loose. As long as I don't have a belly, S is perfect :)

The jacket is great. So far it provides thermal comfort around 5°C; soon I'll test it in lower temperatures. I rate the waterproofness very highly – tried it during a 30-minute stop in moderate rain, water doesn't get inside, it stays on the surface and is easy to shake off. The product is worth its price. I recommend it.

This jacket is well made and very durable. It has a membrane, but it does not provide full protection in heavy rain. I have been wearing it for several years in the coyote colour and nothing has happened to it. The Maroon red colour is a muted red, very nice. I recommend this product.
-
Great softshell – perfectly fitted and very well made. In bad weather, after tightening the drawcords at the waist and hood, it becomes very snug. It has already handled several heavy downpours. The adjustment and ventilation work very well. The pockets are thoughtfully placed. I recommend it!

A practical jacket for walking the dog, it has lots of pockets. The Maroon Red colour looks more orange than red, which is a small drawback. The jacket did not soak through during light rain. With a warm fleece and thermal clothing, it's comfortable at zero temperatures. Size XS is suitable for 175 cm height and 63 kg weight, but with a thicker sweatshirt it's a tight fit. The sleeves could be a bit longer.

The red jacket looks really great. It has a practical, comfortable cut and lots of pockets, which makes it very versatile. The side pockets are placed high, so you can easily wear a backpack with a hip belt. I'm 182 cm tall and the XL size allows me to wear a thick fleece underneath. Everyone feels warmth differently, but when skiing I only wore a running jumper and this jacket – it was fine down to -8°C! Unfortunately, it performs worse in the rain. Right after purchase, the jacket repelled water well, with droplets running off the material. However, after the first wash, even with waterproof clothing detergent, it lost its water-resistant properties. The jacket soaks up water, becomes heavy, and takes a long time to dry. My Gore-Tex trousers dried much faster than this jacket. Its thickness provides warmth when dry, but causes problems when wet. Washing is necessary every 3 weeks because dirt is quickly visible on the red fabric. The main downside is the zip – it sticks when fastening and requires patience, and it’s impossible to unzip it with one hand, which is surprising for tactical clothing. It doesn’t compare well to YKK zips from other models. Overall, though, it has a great cut and, despite a few drawbacks, deserves a solid 4.5 star rating.

The jacket fits well. It protects against wind and rain. Perfect for everyday use. Practical pocket layout. Fans of shemaghs might find the high collar a disadvantage, but you can also leave the jacket unzipped at the neck.
-
Excellent quality, fits perfectly, effectively protects against rain and wind. The hood is easy to adjust. The high collar provides good wind protection. Ideal for everyday use.

Excellent jacket. It has many practical pockets. It perfectly combines functionality with style – it doesn’t look too military. The yellow details give it a sporty-casual character. The jacket is thin, very comfortable, and warm – at 15°C, it's actually too warm. The vents under the arms and on the back provide ventilation. I haven't checked its water and wind resistance yet, but I'm optimistic. I am 184 cm tall and weigh 79 kg, and I have a slightly protruding stomach – size M fits perfectly, there’s even room for a light fleece, so such a set will do even in sub-zero temperatures. The collar with a hidden hood fits well, not too tight – that's an advantage, it protects against the wind. The zip is a bit stiff, but that often happens with two-way zips – maybe it will loosen up. I definitely recommend it.

Great jacket with many practical pockets. It offers an excellent balance between functionality and looks, and doesn't look like typical military wear. The yellow details give it a slightly sporty, casual style. It’s thin and very comfortable to wear. Very warm – even too much at 15°C. Ventilation holes under the arms and on the back increase comfort. I haven’t yet tested its resistance to wind and water, but I hope it will perform excellently. I'm 184 cm, 79 kg, a small belly – size M fits perfectly, there's also some space left for a warm fleece. According to other reviews, it should handle even negative temperatures. The collar with a stowable hood really fits well, but is not too tight – that's a plus for wind protection. The zip is sometimes difficult to do up, which often happens in models with two zippers – it’ll probably loosen up with time. I highly recommend it.
-
The jacket looks very elegant, the photo doesn't reflect its true appearance. Solid workmanship and numerous pockets ensure comfort for every man. It's a shame to use it in harsher conditions, so it will become my go-to jacket. The price is appropriate for its quality and appearance.
-
Great jacket, I use it every day for work, for the forest and during mountain trips. It didn't get wet in light rain, and with a thin fleece underneath at -8 degrees it was warm enough. Very good pockets and ventilation system. I am very satisfied with this purchase!
-
This is already my second jacket from this series – I wear this one every day, and use the other one in the forest. Together with a fleece it protects me all winter regardless of frost, in the morning I ride my bike to the bus stop in it. Highly recommended! I really like these jackets!
