Due to the generous cut in the abdominal area is ideal for trips on the bike. Carrying topsy usually a undershirt and depending on weather conditions either a short-sleeved shirt or one with long sleeves.
Normally I always the case that it should rain always a Goretex jacket with it. Once forgotten but was not a great problem. After about 3 hours of cycling in the pouring rain I was very surprised. The jacket has held almost tight. A small wet spot about 4cm in diameter on the back right shoulder blade could be seen inside. That was it well. At this point, probably the limit was reached and water bubbling through. Amazingly, back there where I have not reckoned with. Hab rather thought that the zipper does not hold tight, because it is open and is not overlapped.
Amazingly good quality jacket and especially the zipper. Since hooks and clamps nix. Also makes no problems, if something is jammed. With violence on burlap (Bye, bye nipple) and good. What many a zipper on the collar half past seven turns but from this hält`s here. The can from loose ..... good. I am delighted.
Likewise, the upper part is quite durable. If the cycle is not made, that I now and then times touchiere any of these bushes or branches. No problem, keeps the upper material and the seams as well. Everything meticulously crafted.
Only another thing, because this jacket comes to their limits. Descending at 50km / h is not so good. Who reinhaut a hearty pretzel in the landscape can say goodbye to this gem .... Bye jacket. But it is slippery is what is advantageous. Slides well on the asphalt and is then over. Vulnerability is the zipper exposed here. It rubs down the total. So who descends times land (if possible) on the back and pray that the jacket it survives and the content as well!
The hood is generously sized thing that comes very well. No problem topsy I wear anyway at a cold cap Löffler Windstopper Warm, Black, 1, 09646
or:
Löffler balaclava cap transtex Thus it fits then (almost) perfect. Without that underneath the hood is me clearly too big, because I have no Urmel the medicine ball format .... unfortunately. Since a hard hat would still fit under it almost too easy. No joke, I can pull the hood up to the chin down!
The hood is detachable by zipper. Furthermore, you can lash them what is sorely needed!
Otherwise great jacket. Since `s net much to complain about!
