Sean asked me what I thought of my new Hooded Flash Jacket.
Pros:
- Perfect workmanship. - Nice pockets with down fill on both sides. - Dacron or some stiffener behind the zipper so it doesn't snag the fabric. - Draft tube behind the zipper. - Hood is a good shape and generously sized.
Cons:
- The zipper is a little balky. - The binding on the wrists and bottom hem isn't Lycra. It's something else that is much less stretchy. The bottom hem fits me fine so I don't mind, but the wrists are sized much too big probably because of this lack of stretch. They feel really drafty on me. I haven't had the jacket out in the cold yet but I'm concerned it may make a big difference. Given the high price I'm debating returning it because of this flaw.
