I bought a fair-sized one because I wanted a jacket suitable for summer-winter use. Many women’s jackets today are so snugly shaped that there is no room underneath for warmth and movement comfort suffers. This can fit under a sweater and since I bought a slightly loose size, there’s still a little air left. Flexible sections increase user comfort. The hood and the resulting collar are thoughtfully shaped; does not haunt, but protects; great! The flexible top pockets are good, but the cell phone pocket inside the other with the phone case (and certainly for many without the cover) is too small. That's the place to fix it. These indoor mesh pockets could be on both sides, albeit in different sizes. I'm probably used to the lack of bottom pockets, but I miss the wallet / card pocket inside the jacket. Maybe you can do it yourself. Zipper openings in the side seams are practical. Comfortable jacket!

The jacket fits really well and even though it is a fitted model, it even fits under a lightweight jacket and still the mobility in the jacket does not suffer. The jacket is also suitable for hiking and, thanks to its mobility and breathability, for more demanding and heavier outdoor exercise. Although the jacket is not completely waterproof, the wax is more water resistant than expected. I also like the design and adjustability of the Hood.
The only downside is the more elastic fabric on the arms, which in a strong wind doesn’t hold up quite as well as the harder piece of fabric. The same fabric is there elsewhere, of course, but especially when I was cycling in windy weather, the wind seemed to come hardest through my arms. The problem could be remedied by adding layers of wax, but so far it has not been more bothered.
A special mention for the look of the jacket, which, in addition to my own eyes, has proven to please other eyes as well;)
