At 184 cm tall and weighing about 90 kg, size L fits me very well. There is no problem fitting a sweatshirt or a similar layer underneath. The material seems very durable. I am very satisfied. It is still difficult for me to assess the warmth level definitively, but during the first try it seemed sufficient for spring and autumn.

Softshell is a type of material used in outdoor clothing that is characterized by its flexibility, breathability and high weather protection. Constructed of multi-layered fabric, softshell provides protection from wind and light rain, while providing freedom of movement and effective moisture control.
Gore-Tex is a thin membrane made of polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE), which features a microporous structure. Its structure makes it highly water- and wind-resistant, as well as breathable. The membrane's pores are 700 times larger than a molecule of water vapor, which allows it to efficiently wick moisture to the outside. Gore-Tex is widely used in the production of outdoor clothing and footwear.
G-Loft insulation is an advanced material consisting of a three-dimensional structure of hollow polyester fibers that trap dry air to form an effective thermal insulation layer. These fibers retain their shape thanks to a memory effect, allowing them to return to their original form after getting wet, washing and heavy use. G-Loft, used mainly in outdoor clothing and equipment, combines the characteristics of natural down and synthetic fill, offering excellent thermal insulation, lightness, resilience and moisture resistance.

The delivery was exceptionally fast, which made me very happy. The jacket itself shows excellent workmanship — very good materials were used, along with sturdy zippers and Cordura reinforcements that provide good protection. In my opinion, the only completely unnecessary feature is the patch panels. Hook-and-loop fasteners easily pick up dirt, and since I dress in civilian clothing, even blank patches draw unnecessary attention. The biggest problem, however, is the collar. It is definitely too high, and the material is also very stiff, so it presses hard against the neck and makes the jacket uncomfortable to wear. I usually zipped it up to about 3/4 — rarely left it completely open and rarely all the way up to the neck — but that was exactly when the upper edge of the collar with the zipper pressed against my neck. Given the thickness and stiffness of the material, I also do not see any chance that it will soften or settle over time. It is a pity, because I really would have liked to keep it.

Phenomenal jacket: top-quality workmanship, I tested it in light and moderate rain - no soaking through. It protects very well against the wind, and also has lots of pockets. With a height of 187 cm and a weight of 83-84 kg, I chose size L and it fits great.

Absolutely top-notch when it comes to specialized outdoor clothing. Both the materials used and the workmanship are of the highest quality. As long as you find the right size, everything works without any issues. The technologies used and quality control ensure complete comfort during use.
