The quality of workmanship of the Wolfhound lite jacket is really great. The jacket works perfectly as an extra layer under other clothes or on cooler summer evenings. I have a typical build, I am 173 cm tall and weigh 72 kg; I usually choose size M or L because I appreciate comfort and the possibility of wearing several layers. Size M turned out to be perfect in the armpit and shoulder area, but the length of the jacket could be shorter – fortunately this can be adjusted with an elastic cord at the bottom. The sleeves are too long, even after rolling them up, by about 4 cm, as another customer also mentioned. In summary, if you usually wear M, do not have broad shoulders, and prefer a fitted cut, I suggest choosing size S. The jacket is really well made, but in my opinion it is not the cheapest, especially considering its price and potential use.

Great jacket, another cool product from Helikon. Unfortunately, the sizing when it comes to the sleeves (too long) didn't work out as it should, but give it a try, maybe it'll be great for you. In any case, I recommend it.
