8 The Best Men’s Softshell Jacket

Columbia men’s ascender soft shell, shell jacket, the perfect compromise between blizzard in the forecast and, first chill of fall. This multifunctional softshell works hard and plays even harder. It’s made from Ridge supple soft shell with all the comfort of a heavy sweatshirt and the weather, fighting prowess of a hardshell jacket, rugged warm, durable and yet decidedly presentable. This wind and water resistant softshell jacket is a versatile all season piece with an impeccable fit built to keep you protected in milder weather and layer under shells and jackets for bonus, warmth in more severe conditions.

I’m 5 feet 11 inches and weigh about 85 kilos, and this jacket fits me perfectly through the body the sleeves have velcro tabs, so I can tighten the cuffs to take account of them being just a little bit long, but just a little, I’m so pleased with the cut of this jacket. I have three of them now the listing photo for my first color choice. Stone green makes it look deeper than it actually is it’s more like olive green, by which I mean the color of an actual olive in the fridge it has black zippers, while other versions of zippers color matched to the rest of the jacket eg, this carnelian red, which makes the product look more high-end than when finished, with standard black made a good excuse for getting the blue one too.

My only criticism of this jacket is that the sleeves are lined for warmth, with a kind of microfiber that sticks to whatever long-sleeved shirt or sweater. You might wear under it and makes it hard to pull the jacket on and tug it off, but the struggle is worth it because the jacket looks so crisp and clean. Once on plus, it’s cut slim enough to look really good worn under an overcoat, a parker or even a blazer video shopping network, an amazon affiliate to see this product on amazon click.

Welcome back to living Pacific Northwest guys today, we’re gonna be doing a review. Softshell front zip jacket by far one of my most favorite jackets that I own here’s a quick view on it. We’re gonna do some water, repel tests and I’m gonna show you how it looks on me later in the video stay tuned. If you’re looking to buy this for size, I’d base it off a t-shirt, size, I, wear medium t-shirts, I buy medium jackets, just how I fit my jackets. So to start out we’re gonna go over pockets.

You have two front pockets on one breast pocket. Let me show you the inside of these real, quick, alright, so this front pocket deep enough to put it goes all the way up here, all the way down here. So it goes from here to here. This whole front. Section right here is your front pocket. You got a lot of room to do stuff and on the inside of the pocket, here’s the inside of pocket I’m, not sure if you can see that, but it’s a kind of like a fleece material, very soft, maybe microfiber material on the inside, which is the same on the inside of the jacket.

I’ll, show you that real, quick, alright for the inside same as the pockets. It’s got a nice little I, don’t know what material it is fleece or it’s soft. It’s very soft to the touch it’s very comfortable to wear. As far as this front pocket right here, you got like a basic square. Going from top stops goes down, stops stops, so it’s a decent little you can fit. Probably I can fit my entire hand spread out in this pocket. The nice little pocket same material on the inside a little bit of a fleece or soft material.

All right. Let’s move on to the water test, of course, here in Washington it rains a lot and I wear this spring fall and throughout the winter during the winter it does get a little cold right. Now it’s about 28 degrees, so where I’d wear, probably maybe a tank top and then a t-shirt under this. If it’s really cold, usually I just go with the t-shirt, and then this for in town walking around shopping do doing whatever I do take this hiking sometimes but I get a little warm in it.

I’m gonna pour some water on here real quick and show you how well this thing actually beads water off I’m gonna drizzle, some water on it just a show like a rain effect. If you will and then I’m going to actually pour some water and see how wet I can get it. Okay for the first test, I’m going to just drizzle some water down here on the lower pocket area, see if I can’t get that off. Usually it uh shakes right off, as you can see, there’s a little bit of water on there, but it literally wipes right off, don’t know if you can see it, but you did not soak in it’s beating it’s not soaking in I’m gonna pour some water on see how well that does all right.

So here’s the pour test, as you can see it, just beads this water up, it’s crazy! How well this works for a softshell jacket, I love, it completely dry, a few little there’s one little wet spot right. There I dumped decent amount of water on there. What did this sleeve here I’ve had this jacket for about three years now, I have not put any sort of fabric slick on it or waterproofing anything it’s just purely from what the company does there’s no extra added anything! That’s why this is my favorite jacket, it repels water, so well for what it is.

The price point on this I believe I could bought it for 70 bucks, plus tax and shipping, which is not bad at all and I’ve had it three years, and obviously you just saw how well it beads off water. I saw the rest of bottle. So let’s go ahead and pour it all over this jag and see what happens all right, I’m, just gonna lift this up. As you can see here, it does look like it got a little wet right there, let’s see if it’s, okay, oh okay, here’s the other side of that not even damp it’s damp on the outside.

It didn’t beat off as well. Well maybe yeah, that’s dry, that’s completely dry! That’s wet! Cuz I was touching up there, but my back my hands dry, but that was a lot of water to be pouring on there and you saw how well it beat it off. I’m gonna put something on the zipper and see how well that does alright guys, here’s the zipper test. Don’t you see that? But it’s a going down the zipper and beating off see how what it is now gonna lift this up and get all the excess off.

Alright, as you can see, that was a decent amount of water is an entire water bottle. I poured on this the only parts that got a little wet right here, cuz I kind of rubbed it in a few little speckles over here- and this is a little wet on. You can see that on my finger, but this is a little wet where I sat there and poured it so I’m gonna unzip this and see if the inside is what real, quick, okay, just unzipped it it doesn’t seem like this is very wet at all. There’s a little bit of dampness right there.

Oh wait! Yeah it’s a little wet right here! I, don’t know if you guys can see that. Let me unzip this alright. So right where I was pouring that water a little bit, you can probably see that right there, all these little spots right here, damn it’s not terrible at all, but it is a little damp, but I was pouring it directly on the zipper and doesn’t really had that much of a protective layer just has that small little protection right there and then a small fold right here but I’m sure.

If I kept going, it could have gotten more wet, but I poured an entire water bottle on the entire jacket. The shell itself, the shop soft shell part, did absolutely fine. So the zippers are the only weak point at this time in terms of how it fits I’m. 510 weigh 165 on a good day, and this is a medium jacket and if it’s snug not tight, not tight, if it’s snug I can still put my hand under the jacket and move around I got to say: I have a few inches of wiggle room under the jacket, which is nice, I’ll put it on and show you guys here in a second alright guys so I just switched my hoodie you put on the jacket and I’d like to note something real, quick I was wearing this hoodie, it’s basic everyday hoodie and it’s 20 degrees right now, ain’t bloody cold.

As soon as I put this jacket on it kept my body heat inside the jacket. It’s keeping me warm right now. I have a thin t-shirt on right. Now. It’s not like warming me up incredibly well, it’s just keeping my body heat where it’s supposed to be. That’s a nice thing to note to note about this jacket. Now, I’m gonna turn this game around and show you how it looks on me. There’s probably some dirt on the back, so please forgive me for that. Nice and snug, it’s form-fitting on the sides, but you still have enough room to get your hand up there to adjust something.

If you need to there’s the arm for you, it’s got a little bit extra room. My arm ends right here and it goes out a little bit extra. Well that allows for layering too, if you’re looking for hygiene or what have you it’s a nice jacket to go just below the waist. My belts right here just covers the pockets very nice I, like it I, really enjoy it all right. I got my hoodie back on I got this laid back out. This well I’ve said this multiple times throughout this video is my number one.

Favorite jacket, I, absolutely love. This jacket had it for about three years now and as you can see, the water repellent is still working, fantastic, I wouldn’t say this is waterproof. It’s just very, very good at repelling water, very good at repoing water. All those spots, it’s still a little damp up here, but everything else completely bone dry. The only negative thing I have to say about this is: if you get dog hair on this jacket, it is a pain in the ass to get it out.

Aside from that, it is a wonderful jacket. I frequently thought about buying a second one of these, just a half, throw it in the truck keeping the truck what-have-you, but I haven’t done it yet just kind of have 70 bucks lying around, but for the price it’s a very nice jacket, I definitely would buy it again. I got this one off Amazon, like I, said for 70 bucks plus shipping plus tax, but that’s it for today, guys please like and subscribe. If you liked the video, if not give it a thumbs down, let me know what you guys are thinking.

If you want to see this jacket, do something weird throw some mud on it or something, let me know don’t think of anything too bad, though cuz I, like the jacket, don’t want to ruin it. Alright, guys see you next time.

What we got here well, I was out in the nice if I had a jacket, it’s good logic, because you know jackets prevent colds. It’s been Tennessee proven jackets to prevent colds. What kind of jacket is this I’m not entirely sure I, just clicked a button online saying jacket we weren’t going to Boise all, but we know we see has a little tail is, must be returned. The original packaging, including hangers Paul, don’t hurt the same poly bags, so it’s a poly bag, I think pieces of old girls.

This is like space-age I. Think so, because I’m just pulling full count, look how silver it is. Ins Oh. What is this? What the Craig? This must be. A microfilm I bet, there’s a secret message inside it weight-wise. What is that I know? No I think this is a special bonus. Whoa. Look at this look at look at it. It’s all your fantastic glory, your pull harder. Why don’t you grab the corners here in just kind of there you go.

Oh, this feels like we know, they’re going to keep away. The wind keeps away. Wind will come to the inside there. – buzzing -, zippers zippers up and down I like my zippers to zip down when closing it not up and closer, because when you go skiing what, if a branch grabs your zipper, English it and then all your stuff flies out, so you wanted something up or down I want to zip him down. This is zipping up too close I know I’m saying it should be the other way was it say a lot of things that I don’t really want to read right now got here: oh, not bad! This guy, it’s kind of stylish! Look! It’s water, slash, wind resistance! Why do your world? Look? It’s all dusty! Why don’t you wash her stuff before you send it good grief? I was expecting a Taj Mahal.

This AK this effective, why it was cheap because it was dusty. Good I, like this little pocket right resistant, a little in event. Okay, that’s French for water-resistant! Now, I, like my jackets with inside pockets, so I can look like a secret agent or something oh, yes, I knew wait. Nameless is in the secret pocket, no secure pockets. There’s it’s very fuzzy on the inside I bet. I bet, it’ll, keep you pretty warm.

It’s got little thingies right here, so you can like I, guess, adjust the waist thing. So if you want your jacket to grab your butt, you just go like this. It looks like something that some secrets no agent would wear. You know the same: a secret storage. You know the the snow agent moss yeah. What’s that one movie, were they going to guys brain inception? Yes, there they were snow agents at the last level of the dream.

If I was there, I really look kind of cool with these things on they were like. Look at me, you cool. Do you need jackets? If you’re in a dream, it depends if it’s a cold dream here. I am loving life and my jacket, it’s pretty good, but we’ll test it out test the elements it’s so far, so good Here I am laying on the ground I’m trying to become one with the earth when you’re snow falls, I’ll be ready.

Now, when one has to get their mail, they have to put on a jacket. This is my jacket to get the mail and for other things too, I have a very long driveway. Oh no mail, well I decided to see how the public world would like my new jacket. Surely I can stop people in their tracks I. Just these people should be crashing. They crash eventually, so yeah, it’s an OK jacket. Um. As you can see, it looks very good with nature and it made sure you you look good.

Yes, Oh protected, looking how they bounce off. No. This was a train. Nothing is denting that at this that’s perfect.

Much for tuning in my name is John today, I have for you a convenience good! That’s right! Today we’re going to be taking a look at the Columbia men’s, a center hooded, softshell jacket, I picked up on Amazon for $69 and two cents. It actually gets four and a half stars out of five stars out of three hundred and fifty-seven reviews on Amazon Prime, so I figured what better way to open up this holiday season.

This fall winter spring part of the year. I know a lot of you watching. This are probably in a part of the country where it’s cold, so I figured I would order a really nice Columbia men’s jacket that will keep you warm, that is, water, resistant and wind resistant as well. This jacket comes in a variety of colors: it comes in black, bolder, collegia, navy, gray, graphite, olive green and dark Mountain, which is like a sort of dark blue.

Now you’re probably wondering what is the difference between a softshell hooded jacket and a hardshell hooded jacket, and the difference is: is that a softshell is a stretchy material, so this material is actually kind of stretchy. You can pull on it a little bit and it actually has some gift as where a hardshell jacket, you cannot tug on it. It’s it’s. It’s not stretchable, okay.

So let’s actually take a look at some of the features of this jacket. Here, it’s a beautiful, Columbia men’s jacket, as you can see, you’ve got a really nice hood on the back and it’s actually adjustable with the velcro here. You’ve got a really nice front chest pocket next to the Columbia logo, so you can actually store like the water like a wallet or a phone.

Maybe in there, as you can see, it is just big enough to fit my hand in there and just big enough to fit a phone in there, which is really nice original ticket price for this Jack is actually a hundred and twenty-five dollars. So $69 and two cents is a really great deal. Let’s go ahead and take a look at some of the quality control aspects of this jacket. The stitching is absolutely seamless here.

Zippers run smoothly, no problems there whatsoever. Unfortunately, I did not order multiples of this jacket. So I can’t tell you what the quality control is like, like I, don’t have a big enough sample size to tell you what the quality control is like, but I’m telling you right now. This is an absolutely stunning jacket and when you open it up, you get this beautiful soft fleece material on the inside and of course, if you actually look at the side of the jacket, you get a couple side pockets which are a little bit bigger than the chest pocket.

You can fit your hand in there and then some so that maybe would be where you would put a majority of your things and, what’s really nice, is you also get this same pocket on the left hand side as well. Other minor details of this jacket are the hood itself has fleece in it, which is really nice. As you can see, I got the extra large size here stitching around the cuffs is seamless again, and what I notice here is you’ve got another velkoz velcro strap.

So if you actually want to tighten the cuff a little bit or loosen it a little bit and again, this is a stretchable sort of material. It’s not stretchable like spandex, but it is stretchable to the point where, if you’re someone who maybe has a thick watch on, you can definitely wear it underneath and maybe loosen up this cuff a little bit so that you can slide your wrist in and out of your cuff, to look at your watch.

It is also wide enough to accommodate love. So, if you’re wearing a thick pair of gloves- and you know you want to maybe increase or decrease the amount of when that gets in, you can adjust this velcro strap accordingly. So, as you can tell, this, jacket is really built for a cold winter environment. Like I said earlier, it is light, snow and wind resistant, so that is a huge advantage.

I know for a fact that when you’re up north and it’s windy out and it’s cold, you know you want something to break that wind, and this will be the jacket to help you do so and help you maintain a stylish look as well. Okay. So enough of me talking, let’s see what the jacket looks like on me. So, as you see, you’ve got the hood here, which is really nice and again it is fully adjustable.

So if I want to adjust it, I can absolutely do that. So here’s what it looks like unzipped you’re, probably gonna, want to wear it zipped up if it’s cold or windy. So here’s what she looks like fully zipped up when I put this jacket on it’s automatically about 5 degrees, 10 degrees, warm or wherever you are. It’s really gonna trap in that heat. So this is what it looks like with the hood on so like I said earlier, this is a really comfortable jacket when I lived up north for a little while it was freezing.

Obviously, when the winter time would come around and you don’t want to get caught wearing just simple cotton, sweatshirts or jackets, or anything like that, you really want something. Nice like this. That’s really gonna break the wind and just momentarily before we end the video I just want to go ahead and show you guys the back of the jacket here. It’s got a really nice seam that runs across the back for a more sophisticated look.

It’s not just flush back here. It actually does have some character. Everything looks like it was pieced together. Almost so you’ve got this upper half of the hoodie. You’ve got this upper half of the J and you’ve got this lower half of the jacket. Now you can see the arms are stitched in this. Lower half is stitched in and even if you look on the back here, the hood is stitched in.

So it’s almost like this is a three-piece jacket. It’s a really well-made jacket that fits well keeps you warm and looks great as well. I think so that has been the men’s. Columbia ascender hooded jacket, I picked up on Amazon for $69 and two cents, because I picked it up on Amazon. It makes it a convenience good. Thank you. So much for tuning in everybody I hope you enjoyed this video I hope you gained something from it.

Hey there, my name is david on this episode. I’m gonna be doing a gear review, men’s lightweight water, resistant, packable, hooded puffer jacket, it’s quite the mouthful, so this jacket- I just I got this a few months ago, so I’ve been using it quite a while. It is quite a lightweight jacket. I’ll weigh it in a bit here, because I notice there’s no there’s no weight measurement on this thing and when you’re buying a lightweight puff jacket, often like if you’re one someone like me, who’s like looking at patagonia or all these other brands, you actually want to know how many grams it is I’ll, weigh it for you guys.

So you see, but basically I’ll go over the features first. So first off this comes in two varieties, one with the hood and one without I’ll, just bring up the hood here. So you can see what I’m wearing here is: I’m almost six feet tall, so I’m five foot eleven and a half- and this is the men’s small. I did buy this in a medium and it was way too big. It was like buying like a large. Normally, I buy medium clothes, but this thing was huge.

I actually had to send it back and get the small. This thing comes with obviously the puffer jacket and it comes in one of the pockets here, the bag, so it has a little bag and a little cinch bag. You can kind of close it up. It’s got these elastic wrist things, so you can cinch it down over your whatever your gloves or something. Basically, it’s pretty simple: two pockets, a really lightweight jacket.

You can see here it is 418 grams. It’s not as light as like a patagonia nano or something like that. But for the price, it’s pretty. It’s a pretty good value. This jacket in canadian prices. It ranges from dollars to seventy two dollars based on the size. The bigger you are, the cheaper it is which is kind of weird but anyways. I originally paid uh 55 bucks, something like that and then, when I got the small I’d pay 72 in the states, you guys get them all flat.

I think for 45 bucks kind of about 58 bucks, canadian. So that’s roughly the price for this thing. So yeah I mean so far, I’ve found I mean I haven’t used this for a long time like years, but so far notice like it’s just it seems pretty well constructed. It keeps me really warm when I’m out hiking a lot warmer than I thought it would, because it really just doesn’t weigh much yeah there’s a inside pocket here, which eh I mean it is stitched multiple times.

It does feel like at some point. Maybe it’ll it’ll rip. I don’t know it does actually have like five layers of stitching here. So who knows just two inside pockets. They are really deep, like almost too deep, like you can’t really get to the bottom of like it’s really hard to get your hand all the way to the bottom. So if you put small stuff in there, it might be a bit of a pain in the butt, but yeah I’ll show you what this looks like in the bag.

So this bag is a very snug fit, that is for sure, okay, after a bunch of canoodling, with this there we go it’s in the bag, cinch it down. There we go there. We go so that’s that’s the uh size you can see compared to my head, so that’s the size here I’ll put on this side. So that’s full size. It’s about you know a little bit bigger than my hand should know too for this bag. It does have one little hoop on the bottom, so you can potentially hook it or hang it, maybe on the outside of your bag.

It also makes it really easy to pull it out of the bag. You’re, not fiddling with it, but yeah. I mean this thing feels really nice really nice, it’s a synthetic one. So there’s no animal products in it, there’s no like feathers or whatever, which is one that I was looking for and it’s really affordable. So I mean I’m a big fan of this thing. I’ve uh, I prefer ones, maybe a little brighter colors, but they have added some colors, but once again the hooded ones seem to have uglier colors than the non-hooded ones, and it seems the um, the non-hooded ones.

You’re gonna basically take off about 10 bucks. So that’s basically it for this thing. Um the zipper hasn’t snagged. It seems like it’s, you know pretty well built. I can’t really say what it’s like. You know long term, but so far I give this thing a big thumbs up. You want to check one out, there’s a link in the description thanks for watching. Why not subscribe to the channel for more reviews and hiking videos, and until next episode have a great day.

Welcome back to my channel so today I sherpa jackets and I recently got this sherpa jacket from amazon. This isn’t, let’s see if we can focus in on this. This is an amazon essentials, sherpa jacket right here, and I wanted to talk a little bit about this one today and I have to say it’s a really great value for what it is honestly compared to some other brands. I think this one’s really great and through this video, I’m going to show you why I think this is one of the best value jackets that you could buy, especially for winter.

So with that we’ll go through and we’ll talk about the fit we’ll talk about the material and we’ll talk about some of the things that I think are really key in making this jacket. So with that we’ll get onto the review in a second. So I recently got this sherpa jacket right here this one in black, and I have to say that I’m pleasantly surprised with this jacket. Honestly, this jacket I bought for a little under eight dollars.

It was seven dollars and 88 cents um right now, they’re selling it for about 17. I saw it go for 20 a few days ago, but I got it for 7 88 and I have to say that the material, the zippers all the trims have been honestly like they have ykk. This is this I’m going to show you this right here, let’s see if we can zoom in on that. This is a ykk zipper here and I have to say that this is a really great quality zipper.

They really paid attention to the materials. The trim- and I have to say, like for the value it’s really great for this for under 20, this jacket is honestly a must buy compared to some of the other brands that I do have. I have a couple other jackets from the north face from patagonia that do not keep me as warm as this jacket. This jacket is faux fur, it’s 100, polyester and, as you can tell there’s two different type of materials here, I’m going to show you this really quick.

So we have this um like sherpa material and or like a textured like a textured polyester, but on the inside. As you see, it’s like it’s really smooth and it keeps in keeps the wind out fairly well. It is also lined here also note the zipper pockets, so you have zipper pockets here. Also the sherpa material inside the textured material here and I have to say the fit- is really nice on this jacket too.

I’m normally a slim fit medium. So this one fits me relatively well, and I have to say that for the for what I paid for this, I would buy this again for 17 dollars for 20. I would buy this jacket again, and this is my first time trying like an amazon essentials item, I think for the value. It’s really great. I don’t know how they’re producing this, though, because I know a little bit more about north face and a little bit about patagonia and maybe colombia a little bit, but I don’t know how they’re sourcing this.

It just says that it was made in vietnam. It’s polyester wash and care. It’s you wash it cold. You tumble dry low, you know all the things you would do with this jacket on the care label, but all I have to say is that this jacket’s great for what I paid for it fast two-day shipping since I have prime and honestly, it’s like this jacket is perfect for winter. It’s one of the jackets, I would say if you don’t have a sherpa jacket or if you’re going to be in really cold weather, this would be perfect or even as a layering piece if you’re going.

I don’t know to this. If it you live in an area that snows this jacket would be great. So, overall, I would give this jacket. I don’t know, I would say an 8 out of 10, it’s not perfect, but it is a great value buy. There could be other things I like, I would say it’s like resource um, how they resource all of this or how they source. All of this- I don’t know any too much about that all I could say that how they advertise this.

They say that it’s the jacket that you would use ever like every day for either training, which I don’t know about training, because this this thing seems like it would cause you to overheat, but like they had mentioned that you could use this for training. You could use this for the outdoors. You could use this anytime. I would say this is more of a fall winter type of jacket.

I wouldn’t wouldn’t necessarily wear it in the spring, so I would say that for me, I’m really excited to wear this when it becomes fall or winter. But overall to sum it up great jacket, amazon essentials, I’m going to be trying a little bit more about I’m gonna be trying a little more of their clothes, see how they are. Since I think that they’re pretty up and coming, I they’ve already I’ve seen some jeans- I’ve seen some shirts that have really high reviews.

I think this one at the time of this recording has like 263 views or 263 reviews so yeah, so people might just be sleeping on this, but you know for the price. I would say that if you want something, that’s I would say warm get something like this or not. You can check some of the other things that they have out. They have color, they have different colors, they have different um.

They have different jackets. I’ve seen a couple of denim jackets that I’m actually eyeing, so they have a ton of different amazon essentials brands I paid for this. I got this for free, so no, I didn’t get this for free, um, 7, 88 under 20 and honestly great value. So like that’s generally, it’s uh, it’s a sherpa jacket, really quality zippers that it has on here, too, seems sturdy, good material, and I believe that’s about it.

Let me know if you have it and let me know like I mean I bought it. So let me know what you guys think in the comments below okay until next time.

Much for tuning in my name is John today, I have for you a convenience good. That’s right! Today we’re going to be taking a look at the Amazon essentials men’s full, zip, hooded, fleece sweatshirt, which comes in a variety of colors and patterns. I picked up on Amazon for $19 I figured. We would take a look at it today. I ordered this fleece hooded jacket using Amazon wardrobes, so I actually have it for seven days. I can try it on for seven days. I ordered some other things with Amazon wardrobe I ordered some gym shorts, I ordered some t-shirts.

I also ordered a hooded sweatshirt, so yeah today, we’re going to start off by looking at the zippered jacket, which is hooded and I picked up here in gray. My initial impressions of it are that it’s actually a pretty good quality. What’s really nice, is you get these little metal tips at the end of the drawstrings here to give it that extra premium feel? And if we just flip it over on the back here, we can see that it is sort of this stretchy material at the bottom.

So it really grips, it really has a nice tail on it. The stitching looks seamless everything, looks absolutely phenomenal with quality control. Here we’ve got some more stitching on the side. It looks great, so I’ve been doing a lot of clothes lately, I think you guys like it. When I do clothes, as you can see, we’ve got the hood here. It has some character to it with the stitching running through the head, but you can see. We’ve got some pockets on the sides here.

The pockets are not. They don’t go all the way through. Obviously because it’s a jacket, it’s a zipped up jacket, but nonetheless, if you want to maybe tuck your hands on the inside, if it’s cold or if you want to throw a phone or a wallet in one of these pockets, you can totally do that. I. Think it’s worth more than $19 I think this is a phenomenal deal. I think if you’re someone who’s in the market for a foot, it’s for a hooded jacket, I think why not go with an Amazon essentials, put a jacket, there’s no branding on it.

The only branding that you get with this jacket is Amazon essentials on the inside here. So, like I, said no branding. I ordered this one extra large everything looks superb. With this jacket, I mean from the stitching on the inside there to the stitching on the outside. Of course, you’ve got this little tag here. That says we’d love to hear from you. Please leave us a review. So if you go to amazon com, slash ryp, you can see a review of this hoodie I’m not going to post a review you’re watching it here, but it’s clear that Amazon wants people to give feedback on their items so that they can improve on them.

I was actually reading some comments about some other Amazon essentials items and people were pretty much dogging the Amazon essentials products, but this jacket looks absolutely phenomenal. I, don’t see any problems with this jacket whatsoever. Let me go ahead and try it on for you guys, so you can see what it looks like for yourself. So, if I just slip it on like so it’s very comfortable like I said: I ordered mine and extra large, so it fits me well, as you can see, I’ve got plenty of room with the sleeves here.

There’s no pulling there’s no tears. There’s this is such a premium jacket. It really is. I am extremely impressed with the quality of this here’s. What it looks like zipped up, here’s what it looks like from the side. Here’s what it looks like from the back here is what it looks like if I put the hoodie over my head very comfortable, very discreet, if you’re someone who doesn’t like wearing stuff with branding all over it, this is perfect and it’s $19, so you’re paying a little bit of a premium.

I think due to the fact that you’re not getting that branding but you’re, also saving, because Amazon is isn’t a known brand. You know, Amazon is pretty new to the game. So what they’re gonna do is they’re. Gonna, try to make is good quality of products as they can and sell them for as little as they can so that they can win you over, and this is a perfect time to buy Amazon essentials products because, like I said, they’re gonna want to win you over with their good quality.

I was expecting something other than this, but this hoodie has nothing but character. It feels nothing but premium it. It looks cool. It looks stylish. It keeps you warm if you’re my age and you want to just wear something casual, but not with branding all over it. This is perfect. I think you should definitely go for this. It doesn’t matter what age you are if you’re 24, if you’re 40, if you’re 50, if you’re a hundred this is a really great jacket to go with so anyways guys, I hope you enjoyed that video.

As you can see, the zipper runs nicely. There’s just no problem with quality control at all. With this hoodie and I’m gonna go ahead and mention this again. This stitching is just seamless, there’s no pulls nothing on these seams. Everything is absolutely perfect. Even this jacket itself is a nice thick material. It’s not thin, it’s not cheap, it doesn’t feel flimsy and at the end of the arm, holes of the arm sleeves you get really nice stretchy material so that you can wear it with a watch or you can wear them with gloves.

You can wear the sweater with a glove, something like that and it will conform to your wrists and your hand. I have spent my entire life paying way too much for clothes, paying way too much money for stuff that doesn’t fit me that well or that doesn’t look that great on me for now on I think I’m going to start wearing stuff from Amazon essentials, because I’m at the point in my life, where I’m just tired of sucking up to these huge brands and paying top dollar for these huge brands, 19 bucks for this Amazon hoodie anyways guys, my name is John I.

Hope you enjoyed that video. This Amazon essentials, full, zip, soft fleece, hooded jacket, is a convenience good, because I picked it up from Amazon anyways, guys, I hope you enjoyed that video. Once again, please leave a like and subscribe I hope you gained something from this video I hope you were able to get a decent look at this beautiful jacket.

Hi guys we’re gonna, simply hike telco dot uk’ today, I’m going to be talking about the Burke have score nice. Three jackets. Now, as you can see, this jacket is very traditionally based, but it’s perfect for hiking the dog walking to even your general commuting before I go through the features of the jacket. It’s going to give you a nice 360 just so you can have a look at the back. So let me just spin, on top, as you can see, it’s a nice high collar as well, and the actual hood itself is wild in the collar which I will demonstrate and go through later on in the video.

So let’s go through the features shall we? The coat itself is gore-tex, so is 100% waterproof and lifetime guaranteed. As long as you take care of the gore-tex, the gore-tex will take care of you. Obviously it’s got nice front pockets on the on the front, should I say now, as you can see, because it’s traditionally based as you can see its top entry and they are zip. So, whatever you pop in there, it’s going to keep everything nice and safe and secure, but again they’re, nice and big as well.

So you’ve got any mobile phones. Anything like that, mp3 players, your GPS system- will fit in there nice and snug. Also, if you ever forget your gloves or you know, you’re out hiking and somehow you managed to lose one, that’s your front. Part of the jacket I, don’t know if I can show you in here has a fully lining to it. So it’s going to be nice and comfortable. Also working with your core body temperature. It’s going to keep your hands nice and just in case you do forget them right.

Let me just pop them up. Remember that little nifty thing I will show you, as you also have the chest pockets here now. This is nice and spacious, pretty much, because that whole section of the jackets. So if you have any maps or anything about any spare batteries of stuff that you just want to keep a bit personal bit closer to you and you can zip it in there and away you go also. Obviously that keeps things nice and dry nice and safe and secure as well.

Well, the the zips are open. You do have, obviously, as you see this storm flap here so I’m, basically just covering that over and down the poppers keeps everything nice and dry from from the water, but then also it’s wind proof as well, so it won’t interfere with your core temperature. So yeah so say it’s very traditional, but it’s a really nice bit of kit and I’m glad they’ve kept that in I haven’t tried to alter the zip anyway. So that’s gonna, you know be nice and secure for you.

So there’s that. Let me talk about the toggles here so because it is a tradition of jacket. You have elastic points on the side here, as well as the bottom here. So if you want to tighten these up because it obviously is a longer jacket, all you’ve got to do is put on these toggles and away you go that tightens up everything in the middle part that section, basically all mates are actually around my hips but yeah. Just if it’s really when they really blowing.

You can quite literally pull those in and away you guys it’s going to make it a lot more secure for you, the other ones. I will demonstrate to you in a second. So let me undo the jacket itself and I will show you its key feature with this jacket. So, as you can see, there is another zip that goes on the inside part of your jacket. Now what this is for. This is for a two hundred weight, Berg house police. So it’s actually at the start of a three-in-one system.

So you can get the jacket you get the fleece! You can zip that in and you do have it if I show you actually over here. You do have clip points on here as well, so the clip that would come on the normally get a little bit of material. That’s on that on the sleeve of the fleece. You can pop that round, clip that in and that keeps the fleece nice safe and secure in arms. You obviously get one in there as well, and obviously you use the zip on either side to zip the fleece.

In now. The only thing you really need to do is make tool to make sure that you need to do with the fleece. It’s two things make sure it’s a 200 weight fleece with a YKK zip and it’s also at the same size as the jacket. So if you have a large jacket, you need to get a large fleece to zip into it. If you can zip something in a bit smaller or a bit bigger, if you really want to, but the layering system isn’t going to work in that jacket and also it’s going to alter the inner part of the jacket as well.

So it’s always good. Your large get a large fleece to zip into it and as I say, the fleece is a only fits Berk house and it’s the 200 weight fleece with a YKK zip, which, in all the 200 weight fleece, is our standard anyway with birkoff’s. Yes, that’s a really nice little feature, so you know as a present or anything like that. Maybe one of you can buy the outer shell and the other person can buy the fleece and the way you go. You’ve got yourself a nice autumn jacket, as well as a nice winter jacket, when the other side of the actual there to inside part of the jacket as well.

You do have some mesh panels on the back. That’s just for ventilation purposes, to make it a lot more cooler inside specially. If you do have a fleece, sometimes it might get a little bit hot ously, depending on how you’re walking- and so that’s just to give you a little bit events and also you’ve just got a generic lining on the inside as well. This is to stop, obviously your back rubbing against the gore-tex layer, yet again for breathability for comfort.

Just to make that you know you wearing the jacket a lot more comfortable for you and also, as I said, I mentioned the toggles in the middle part of the jacket, but this is the toggle for the bottom part simple as filling that in and that draws the bottom part of the jacket in. So if it’s windy, it’s raining, you just want to. You know, draw into for more comfort and where you go and it’s as simple as that. So that’s the outside in the inside part of the jacket done.

Let’s take a look at the hinge. The hood shall we say I just do that it’s a simple! You have three bits of velcro in the hood itself. All you need to do is basically separate them. Won’t lock the hoods and away you’re going. So, as you can see this dog collar, you can have that open and it sits nicely with the high collar, where you can zip it up anywhere. You go so using the toggles on the fence in the back. You can draw the hood in to give it a nice and secure fit for you and obviously with the hike on as well.

If you are wearing a scarf or a sheet, there’s lots of room in there to make it nice and comfortable for you, so you shouldn’t feel too tired to impress tripped over it, should we say and in there. Obviously this is to obviously help reduce the wind she’ll come from the wind on your neck and also with the hood as well have a peek to it. So if it’s absolutely chaplet down with rain, if it’s really really windy, it’s going to stay up, it’s not going to flop down like this.

It will stay up nice and rigid, so you can see where you are and you can see where you’re going to be going nice and clearly there that works really well with the toggle system on the front and the back and obviously the Koala system as well. So you get clear vision in the wave. This is a great traditional jacket and for backups and I’m glad that it’s still alive it’s nice to see something traditional as this on the marketplace today for any more information.
