Product Customer Reviews
excellent product, good value for money, I use it on a motorbike and sometimes a little air passes through only at speed
Great product
The +: Lightweight, well cut, great water-repellent effect in case of rain, elastic at the waist to keep the wind out. The -: Material under the armpits needs to be reviewed, you can feel the air passing through and the fabric barely pills A few days. The mesh pockets are horrible, always afraid of puncturing them and losing what they contain. Otherwise good product, overall satisfied.
A quality product for its price. If you consider the exorbitant prices of other brands and you are not obsessed with the brand, this is the product for you. I can say that the material quality is 9/10. Since it has fleece inside, it can keep you very warm with a thin t-shirt or sweatshirt during seasonal transitions.
Excellent product Fits well Plus the openings under the arms and the sleeves with thumb loops
I adore
Good
Size small. The sleeves are too short compared to the size of the jacket. Obliged to take the size above. Good overall quality. A little warmer would have been nice. Summer jacket.
Did Chandrashila trek with this wind-cheater. Totally satisfied with it.
It's very good, meets my expectations
I use this windbreaker in addition to a hiking fleece jacket - MH520 Hood, a men's long-sleeved merino wool T-shirt - MT500 and trekking cargo pants - TRAVEL 100 for my nursing tours since October in the countryside (from 6:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. with physical periods indoors, static outdoors, therefore hot and cold which is similar to hiking for more than 10:00 hours. Against the cold and in terms of comfort, nothing to say, the product is waterproof, breathable, windproof, warm. The product seems durable since it is used daily. On the other hand, the interior pockets are VERY fragile. I lost two sets of keys because they pierce quickly... That's it. It cost the price of the jacket to redo the keys. A point to improve therefore.
A light jacket, but the material that is under the arm is not windproof, but rather for ventilation. That's where the wind and the cold come in. It's not warm - it's more of a spring/autumn jacket. As for the size, it is an L to M (I ordered L) Only a t-shirt fits underneath. If you have a blouse (not thick) you say you are stuffed. I think they got the wrong size. As for the length, it's OK— I'm 183 cm and 88 kg. I don't recommend it for cooler weather
Ideal jacket: light, warm, functional. Quite simply my favorite jacket!
Alright
Slightly loose fit compared to the usual size. Very good water-repellent windbreaker. Practical pockets. sleeves a little long but good freedom of movement. Used for alpine hiking with a day backpack.

What is softshell?
It is a warm protective jacket that protects you from the wind and a short downpour (about 30 minutes) of light rain or snow.The fabric used is an assembly of 3 materials: a breathable and windproof micro-porous membrane sandwiched between the water-repellent outer side and the inner face composed of a comfortable and warm fleece.
Thermal comfort and windproof
The wind makes you feel considerably colder.With an outside temperature of 32°F (0°C) and a 10 mph wind, the perceived temperature is 14°F (-10°C).InchWindproofInch components fight the uncomfortable effects associated with this Inchfreezing effectInch. Extremely effective at reducing heat loss by creating a barrier against the wind
Breathability
The main fabric used throughout the jacket, except at the sides, has a windproof membrane with a breathability of 2814 g/sqm for 24 h (according to the JIS 1099 A standard).
Water repellent property of component (not to be confused with waterproofing)
The water-repellent property of a fabric is its capacity to make water run off its surface without absorbing it. This prevents the fabric from soaking up water and keeps it lightweight and breathable. The fabric is made water-repellent by treating its outer surface, however this property may deteriorate with use.The water-repellent property can be reactivated by putting the jacket in the tumble dryer for 10 minutes on low heat.
