Jacket bought last month, survived both sun and warmth, as well as winter conditions - and it performs great. Very good hydrophobic coating, comfortable pockets, the hood could be better shaped, but the drawstrings do a good job. Insulation from rain and wind - very good. Breathability - well, it can vary, but with intense effort there are always some "issues" with breathing. Great zippers, they move smoothly and don't come undone under load. Nicely cut sleeves, with well-stitched Velcro-adjusters and wind cuffs. The jacket is also nicely tailored, fitted - the "technical load" fits inside and the cut beautifully masks it ;) - it shapes the silhouette nicely. I have navy blue and in this color it's... well, it's just beautiful. I admit, I was a bit afraid of this purchase, because I remember the "old" Alpinus, I still use my Woodpecker ;) But I'll tell you - a very good jacket, there's really nothing to complain about. Alpinus - you have my heart and wallet back! (the affection can probably be felt in the length of this review ;). And on Militaria.pl the price is very attractive. Five stars!!!

I am very satisfied with the jacket – it protects perfectly against wind and rain, and it is very warm. It proved its worth during the past winter. I would definitely buy it again.
-
The jacket is very aesthetically pleasing and works great for windy days during hikes. Unfortunately, it does not protect against water at all – during moderate rain, the material lets moisture through after about 30 minutes. Moreover, once it gets soaked, it's hard to dry. I cannot recommend this product.

The best softshell jacket I’ve ever had. It also performed great in sub-zero temperatures. Minimalist cut and design. Perfect for people who don’t like prominent logos. The inner pocket is a plus, and there’s also an external pocket on the chest – keys, for example, fit as well. Highly recommend.

Alpinus Softshell Aso Jacket - Blue, great jacket, lightweight and comfortable. Quite fitted, so a thick fleece may not necessarily fit comfortably underneath.
-
A very good choice for me. Of course, the jacket is very slim and you need to go one size up if you have a "tactical belly." Other than that, with three layers—like dressing in layers—it's enough for -5°C and even down to -10°C if you're moving around and changing temperatures between rooms.
-
The best softshell I have had. Light, warm, and you can clearly feel that it is breathable. So far, it has easily withstood any rain. Additionally, in my opinion, it looks high-quality and very well thought out. I definitely recommend it.
-
Very good jacket! Thicker softshell, warm inside. Elastic, very pleasant material to wear. Four zippered pockets. Very good, tidy stitching. I recommend it.
-
I've been wearing it for some time and I must say it's 10/10, breathable, warm, light, protects well against wind and rain. I mainly use it when riding a scooter where the wind is stronger and it handles it without any problem. I highly recommend it.
-
After over a year of wearing, no signs of use. Carefully sewn, nice cut. Too warm for summer, but it will find use for the rest of the year. I recommend it to those who are undecided.
-
Hello, I exchanged mine because there were also small holes, probably due to bad stitching. It's warm and protects well against the wind, but in the rain it only lasted 10 minutes and my shoulders got soaked even in a light rain.
-
Made from good material, comfortable, light, color matches the description, great purchase for the price. The jacket is well made. It keeps you very warm and is waterproof. I recommend it!
-
Opinion after over a year of use. The jacket works very well. Reasonably breathable. In the rain, it absorbs water from the outside, but it has never soaked through to the inside (rainfall up to 30 minutes). With a thick Helikon fleece, it replaces a winter jacket at temperatures down to -5C. The zipper works well, nothing has worn out at the sleeves, seams are intact. Flexible - comfortable. Good materials, solid product. I recommend it.
-
Very good soft shell. I have no complaints. I wear size L (182 cm tall, 108 cm chest) - fits perfectly, even with a thicker fleece. Does not restrict movement and doesn't look artificially "bulky." I tested it in temperatures of 0-5 degrees. It works well with a warmer fleece. I don't know how it will do in the rain, but according to the specifications, it's not strictly a waterproof jacket, so it's not surprising if it can't withstand a downpour. Unfortunately, I haven't had the chance to see how it performs in strong wind. Overall, I have the impression that this model will be suitable for regular mountain and trekking hikes. I recommend it!

The color is khaki, the photos suggest more of a coyote, but it's definitely not coyote, which is a bit of a shame but I expected that. Other than that? A very nice softshell, it’s not too warm or thick, but insulates well and above all is really waterproof. I tested it during a 3-hour walk in the rain in the mountains and it worked great. I was particularly worried about the shoulders where the backpack rubs water in and where water doesn’t roll off easily – but everything stayed dry. Of course, I suspect that for many hours it wouldn’t work as well, but with a light, steady rain it handled it and I’m very satisfied.
