JACK WOLFSKIN SECRET BELT

Excellent

good price, good brand name, but quality is a bit down.

So soft and comfortable that i bought this jacket in more than 1 color.. i live in Florida and this is the perfect jacket for those “cold” winter nights

The material is good and the sizing is okay. I used the first one I bought from about 2007-2014 before the zipper gave out. Obviously, from the images, the jacket is not meant to be baggy or form fitting. It is sized so that you can wear an extra layer under the coat, like a light to medium thick sweater, and not feel too constrained. It also hangs well over the waistline so that rain cannot sneak into your pants or pants pockets. That said, just wearing the jacket over regular clothes works out okay too. In short, it has just the right size of functional largeness.

Inside the jacket, the lining is a grayish, rubbery feeling "thing." The second version of the coat is more refined than the first one I bought a long time ago. The lining took me a minute to get used to it, but it works and is what makes it waterproof. The major issue with the lining is that it presents a trade-off. The jacket in general is light and easily packable, but the lining works like insulation in the heat. So if you are in a climate like Florida, this jacket will block the rain but heat you up in the process. If you are trying to travel light, this jacket will work better in the fall or slightly cooler temperatures. That is the only issue to consider.

Colorwise, I wish manufacturers made these and other activewear in single, more natural colors. 80% of what they sew up and sell uses the oddest colors possible. They do not fit in the woods, on the mountain, or in the city.
