The jacket is nice and very sturdy, although it feels a bit rubbery. I usually choose size XL, but this time L fits perfectly. For biking or a brisk walk, you only need a T-shirt underneath, because you'll sweat anyway.

The Pentagon Artaxes Escape - Terra Brown jacket is a great choice! It has excellently made seams, lots of useful pockets, a beautiful color, and a modern cut! It fits the body well, and performs even in the rain. Highly recommend!

Very well made and high-quality material. The jacket fits great, keeps warmth well, and doesn’t restrict movement. I chose the color Raf Blue – interestingly, it came with a navy zipper, but that doesn’t bother me :) I have a size S at a height of 181 cm and a weight of 88 kg – the sleeves are a bit long, but I can fasten it at the neck without any problem (I usually have trouble with that). I also tried size M, but it would be too roomy. As long as I don't have a belly, S is perfect :)

The jacket is great. So far, it provides thermal comfort at around 41°F; I'll check it soon in colder temperatures. I rate the waterproofness very highly – tested 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 is equipped with a membrane, but does not provide full protection in heavy rain. I've been wearing it for several years in the coyote color and nothing has happened to it. The Maroon Red color is a subdued 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 tight. It has already handled several intense rainfalls. The adjustment and ventilation work very well. The pockets are placed thoughtfully. I recommend it!

A practical jacket for walking the dog, it has many pockets. The Maroon Red color looks more orange than red, which is a small downside. The jacket didn't get soaked in light rain. With a warm fleece and thermal clothing, it's comfortable at zero temperatures. Size XS fits well for a height of 175 cm and weight of 63 kg, but with a thicker sweatshirt it's already tight. 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 set high, so you can easily wear a backpack with a hip belt. I am 182 cm tall and the XL size allows me to wear a thick fleece underneath. Everyone experiences warmth differently, but for skiing, I only wore a running sweatshirt and this jacket – down to -8°C it was fine! Unfortunately, it doesn’t do as well in the rain. Right after purchase, the jacket repelled water well, and drops rolled off the material. However, after the first wash, even though I used detergent for waterproof clothing, it lost its waterproof properties. The jacket soaks up water, gets heavy, and takes a long time to dry. My gore-tex pants dried much faster than this jacket. Its thickness provides warmth when it’s dry, but that becomes a problem when the jacket gets wet. It needs to be washed every three weeks, as dirt quickly shows on the red color. The biggest drawback is the zipper—it jams when fastening and requires patience. There’s no way to unzip it with one hand, which is surprising for tactical clothing. It’s not as good as the YKK zippers from other models. Overall, however, it has a great cut and, despite a few downsides, deserves a solid 4.5-star rating.

The jacket fits well. It protects against wind and rain. Works great for everyday use. Practical pocket placement. Enthusiasts of scarves might consider the high collar a disadvantage, but you can also not zip it up all the way to the neck.
-
Excellent quality, perfectly fitted, effectively protects against rain and wind. The hood is easy to adjust. The high collar protects well against the wind. Ideal for everyday wear.

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 even a bit too warm. The vents under the arms and on the back provide ventilation. I haven't tested its water and wind resistance yet, but I have high hopes. I'm 184 cm tall and weigh 79 kg, I have a slightly protruding belly – size M fits perfectly, there's still room for a light fleece underneath, so this set can handle even subzero temperatures. The collar with a hidden hood fits well, it's not too tight – that's an advantage, it protects against wind. The zipper is a bit stiff, which often happens with two-way zippers – maybe it will loosen up over time. I definitely recommend it.

Great jacket with many practical pockets. It strikes an excellent balance between functionality and appearance, not looking like typical military clothing. The yellow accents give it a slightly sporty, casual style. It's thin, highly comfortable to wear. Very warm – at 59°F, it can actually be too warm. Ventilation holes under the arms and on the back increase comfort. I haven't tested wind and water resistance yet, but I hope it works great. I'm 6'0" (184 cm), 174 lbs (79 kg), a bit of a belly – size M fits perfectly, with some room left for a warm fleece. According to other reviews, it should work even in freezing temperatures. The collar with a stowable hood really fits well but isn’t too tight – that's a plus for wind protection. The zipper can sometimes be difficult to fasten, which is common in models with two sliders – over time it will probably get smoother. I highly recommend it.
-
The jacket looks very elegant, the photo does not reflect its true appearance. Solid workmanship and numerous pockets provide comfort for every man. It's a shame to use it in harsher conditions, so it will be my going-out jacket. The price is appropriate for its quality and appearance.
-
Great jacket, I use it every day for work, in the woods, and during mountain trips. It didn't get soaked in light rain, and with a thin fleece underneath at -8°C, it was still warm. 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 daily, and use the other in the forest. Together with a fleece, it protects me all winter regardless of the cold, and in the morning I ride my bike to the bus stop in it. Highly recommend! I really like these jackets!
