Good jacket by Bean. I like the jacket and may keep it but it could be improved with a few changes. Haven't had a chance to test it outside yet so my review will not cover function.
Let's start with the positives:
• Nice material (Polartec Thermal Pro & Power Stretch) Not too heavy • Good fit • Chest pocket good size • Internal stretch mesh pockets • Drop tail hem with drawcord • Nice color (Royal Blue/Dark Indigo)
Some things that could be improved:
• A little large through the chest • Sleeves may be a little long but that wouldn't be a problem if... • The sleeve cuffs had something to control the size of the opening (elastic, velcro tab, etc.) • Neck opening is too big (snug it up a little or add a drawcord in the back) • No internal mp3/headphone port (you have the exterior chest pocket, just add the internal opening for the headphone cord)
2ND polortec jacket I purchased and it looks and fits perfect. I would definately recommend to anyone the mountain fleece. Warm ,waterproof and still looks great after many washings.
