    Great Value, Highly Recommend

    I bought this as a Autumn, Mild Winter day and Spring alternative to the sweat inducing Jacket. The quality seems great, love the lack of zip which will help with comfort when in seated position and reduce failure points from the usual broken zip. The sizing comes up a little large. I measured my chest before buying and went for a small where as my usual go to size is always a medium in other brands. It's worth measuring to be sure as it seems to fit really nice even with armour underneath although I am slender. The front pockets are waterproof which is also a nice touch and the lack of hood is also welcome as this is a garment for when it's not raining and hoods just catch the wind anyway. It would be a nice addition to see a small pocket on the back for energy bars but regardless I'd buy again.
