First impression, after opening the package:
* Lightweight Jacket
* Material feels comfortable, not 'cheap' at
* Material does not smell unpleasant
* Roughened fleece lining pleasant
* On reflection strip was unfortunately saved
* Side pockets, chest pocket and "inner compartments" large and practical
The jacket in test / conditions:
Cruise Baltic 10 days (September 2012), several shore excursions / walks at different weather conditions, and 12 km Radeinsatz in sunny autumn weather:
The jacket holds in fact water and wind from - as long as you do not physically exerts himself, does not sweat, jacket -in which price is hard to beat, the high collar protects neck and neck against cold and dampness, but also makes a transhipped good figure.
After the 12 km bike course, in sunny but cool autumn conditions (10 degrees in the morning) but I was completely wet at finish line - was under the impression that they had pulled me through the water! Annoying especially because the lining, despite "maneuvers", long remained moist ... - bringing the headline chosen by me explain.

Conclusion: Übergangsjacke for walks, or short distances without physical exertion
