The jacket has its pros and cons, but overall it's very average. Pros: - Velcro on the hood, necessary for adjustment when wearing a hat and essential for cycling (the hood doesn't slip over your eyes) - Foam visor on the hood, a little detail that really helps keep drizzle off your face. - Four pockets (not three as described. The inner ones do not have zippers) - The material really blocks the wind while still being breathable. Cons: - This jacket is very thin. No matter what kind of uber insulator was put in, it won't keep you warm in winter. After testing – you can use it at about +5°C with low activity, around 0°C with moderate activity (gentle cycling/walking), or -5°C when hiking. Of course, you must wear a thick thermal undershirt with long sleeves underneath. - No drawstring at the bottom, so it lets in drafts :( - The wind flap on the main zipper is only on the top 20 cm, not the full length. Seriously? - The zipper doesn't have an anti-pinch tape and regularly gets stuck. Overall: a mid-range product for autumn, overpriced by about 150 PLN.
Highlander Outdoor Lewis Insulated Jacket - Grey
Lightweight quilted jacket equipped with a hood and a high collar, delivering reliable wind protection and enhanced thermal comfort in low temperatures. Ideal for cold-weather outdoor pursuits and expeditions into the field.
Durable nylon fabric, Tecloft insulation
Constructed from durable 380T nylon, the jacket offers reliable wind protection while delivering excellent thermal performance due to its Tecloft insulation. Noted for its lightweight feel, exceptional heat retention, and outstanding compressibility, the synthetic Tecloft fill replicates the benefits of natural down but surpasses it in moisture resistance. The advanced material ensures consistent warmth even in damp conditions, making the jacket a top choice for outdoor enthusiasts who need dependable performance in changing weather scenarios.
A quilted fit combined with a stand-up collar promotes optimal insulation distribution. Strategically placed elastic panels under the arms allow for unrestricted movement and improved breathability.
Easily packable, the jacket occupies minimal space in your bag, thanks to its compact size and lightweight design. This makes carrying the jacket hassle-free, especially on longer journeys where saving both space and weight is a priority.
Hood with visor, elastic cuffs
The primary fastening utilizes a zipper, shielded by a cover designed to minimize the risk of irritation from the zipper. The Lewis model features a high collar, offering reliable neck protection against the cold. Elastic cuffs and an elongated back hem at the bottom of the jacket ensure enhanced heat retention. An additional benefit is the adjustable hood with a visor, which safeguards the head from low temperatures and can be conveniently fitted over a climbing helmet or a substantial wool hat.
3 practical pockets
Featuring two hip pockets lined with soft fleece and an internal pocket designed for carrying a map, the jacket ensures secure storage of essentials. All pockets are equipped with zippers. Large pullers on the zippers allow for effortless operation, even when wearing gloves.
An elastic security cord in one of the hip pockets provides a safe solution for securing keys or other valuables during movement.
