The three-layer nylon membrane, which provides high breathability and water resistance, allows moisture formed on the skin to evaporate during exertion, while protecting against soaking during harsh weather conditions.
DWR (Durable Water Repellency) is a durable waterproofing treatment that increases the surface tension of water and creates a hydrophobic coating on materials. It protects the material from rapid soaking, improves drying, provides stain resistance and increases breathability.
YKK zippers are high-quality zippers commonly used in clothing and accessories, manufactured by the Japanese YKK Corporation - one of the world's largest zipper manufacturers.
Grid-Tech is a technology used in the production of materials used in outdoor clothing. It improves the breathability, lightness and flexibility of garments, while increasing their strength and resistance to mechanical damage. It is often used in thermal insulation layers, providing thermal comfort and effective moisture wicking during physical activity.

The jacket is pleasant, relatively light, and provides quite good warmth, although it performs less well at temperatures close to zero. However, it is still great for running with an ASG carbine in the forest.
-
I have had this jacket for over 5 years and the only thing that broke were the Velcro fasteners on the cuffs. I fixed them with fishing line and I still use the jacket. I've worn it in really tough conditions and it performs excellently. Highly recommended.
-
Well-made jacket that, thanks to the zippers under the arms, allows you to adjust the ventilation. Plus for the number and placement of pockets. The size is appropriate, the color is great. Purchased on sale, which is an added bonus.
-
Really happy with the jacket so far, it feels well-made and comfortable from the first wear. The pockets offer plenty of storage space and everything feels easy to access and secure.
-
The jacket looks great, the color is very attractive. It has a sufficient number of pockets, and the zippers under the arms allow you to regulate the temperature. I was considering buying this type of jacket for a long time, and I have to admit that the promotion finally convinced me. It's perfect for warmer days, but I also tried it at -10 degrees with an extra layer underneath and I didn't get cold during the walk. Size XXL is suitable for a height of 185 cm and a chest circumference of 129 cm, with a little room left for clothes under the jacket. The package arrived very quickly.
-
The jacket is quite good and serves its purpose, but I was disappointed with the Velcro fasteners – they don't hold, they keep coming undone and it's hard to adjust the sleeve. The jacket itself is comfortable and useful, but I had to sell it precisely because of these Velcro fasteners.
-
I already have three jackets of this type and decided to buy another one, this time in size M. The jacket is great for many reasons, especially in terms of comfort and lightness. The number and size of pockets meet my expectations. It's a perfect choice for spring and autumn. The jacket has proven itself several times and none of them have disappointed me. I fully recommend it.
-
This was my best purchase this year. The jacket is perfect. So far I'm wearing it in the city – to work, shopping, and so on. If you're between sizes, I suggest taking the smaller one. The jacket provides a lot of warmth. At temperatures close to zero, combined with an extra fleece, it's very comfortable.
-
The jacket is exceptionally durable, warm, and long-lasting. The fabric is waterproof. The pockets are large and conveniently placed. The high collar with a stand-up hidden under the rain hood is an interesting solution.
-
The sizing is quite generous. There is a significant difference between M and L, so it's worth trying on both options. The jacket or hoodie itself works perfectly. I tested it during heavy rain conditions typical for the Genoa lowlands and in strong winds by the sea. At a temperature of +10°C and high winds, I didn’t feel any discomfort.
-
This is my first jacket from this brand. It's very pleasant to use. It looks great, especially in the coyote color. It has plenty of pockets and large ventilation openings under the arms with two-way zippers. It breathes well and effectively protects against rain and wind.
-
This is my best purchase this year. The jacket is great – so far I wear it in the city, to work, or for shopping. If you are hesitating between two sizes, I recommend taking the smaller one. The jacket keeps you warm. When temperatures are around zero, it's enough to put a fleece underneath and it's very warm.
-
High-quality product, it's comfortable to wear and looks very good. I also like the shade of olive green. On colder days, it's worth wearing something warm underneath. The jacket is definitely worth recommending.
-
The jacket looks very good in terms of both appearance and quality. It has many pockets and a hidden hood. Size M is perfect for a height of 174 cm.
