Have brought for the winter time for cycling in color Baby Blue me this jacket. The goal was a convenient jacket with at least water repellent function, which can be disposed in smoothness or the terrain sometimes after a few falls, for example, can not to fret long. Positives: - Extended back - Arms for me long enough at XL and 176cm height and powerful build - Soft lining - Not too hot and not too cold - Very good moisture transport to the outside Negatives: Although new and unwashed leaves the impregnation to be desired. Already after a few meters in light drizzle are first dark dots to see who can be the ingress of water close to the material. After 10 minutes, the jacket at the front in the rain directly exposed areas is completely dark. After more than 15 minutes you can be by the mechanically stressed areas such as the arms in the elbows moisture and the sweater is there wet. Recommendation: To walk and ok in light winds. For the harsh climate on the coast in heavy rain is not really usable. Will try it again with the Vaude impregnation. Of course, one must be clear in what price range you are, but if it is specified as waterproof, then it should be there at least a few months.
