I spend quite a bit of time in the car, so I did not want a jacket that pulled across the shoulders or bunched up around the waist. I ordered my usual size and it has been very comfortable. There is enough room to move naturally, while the jacket still keeps a neat shape instead of looking loose.

My concern was that a lightweight jacket might feel thin or cheap once I had it in hand. It is actually more substantial than I expected while still being very easy to wear. The fabric feels smooth, the hood sits properly and I can keep it on for hours without feeling weighed down.

I wanted something for cold and windy days without having to wear a heavy coat every time I went outside. This has worked very well over a sweater. It gives me useful protection, allows plenty of movement and does not make me feel bulky through the chest or arms.

I normally choose navy or black, so I hesitated before ordering the red. In person it is a richer, more understated shade than I expected. It adds some colour without looking too young or flashy, and the clean fit means I can wear it comfortably with jeans or chinos.

I am quite particular about jackets around the collar because stiff ones quickly become uncomfortable. This one is easy to zip up, the collar sits comfortably and the hood does not feel heavy behind my head. The navy is also very easy to wear day to day. Delivery arrived within the timeframe shown on the website, which was reassuring.

I wanted something practical for everyday use but did not want it to look overly sporty. The fit is clean, the sleeves move comfortably when driving and the jacket still looks presentable when I stop somewhere for lunch or errands. The blue is brighter than what I normally wear, but it looks surprisingly smart in person.
