I've had this hoodie for a few months now and have used it for various outdoor activities. It is quite comfortable, very light (you hardly feel it on) and of a very sturdy construction. The three pockets are roomy enough. But there are three details that bother me a bit:
- There is no "protector" that separates the zip from your chin. By this I mean that the slider body directly touches your chin area. If it's cold, believe me this will be annoying.
- Too big of a hood. It is big enough to wear with a bike helmet underneath. If it's windy, it will act as a "parachute".
- While the following is not a problem as such, it would be ideal if the wrists had thumb holes, but they have elasticated ends that nevertheless feel pretty good.
Although this product could have been perfect, I think it has more advantages than disadvantages.
