Description

Its lightweight, breathable stretch fabric serves up superior comfort for all your intensive activities. The SHIFT POLO puts the emphasis on enjoyment and wellbeing during exertion. For your outdoor activities, prefer a technical fabric: the SHIFT POLO is ideal for playing 18 holes on a mountain course overlooking Lake Geneva, or for touring the old ocean-front fortifications of Essaouira. This polo shirt has anti-UV protection to reduce the impact of sun rays on your skin, and its breathable stretch fabric provides all the pleasant freeflow mobility you need for an active day outdoors. A highly efficient moisture-shifter, the fabric stays dry and comfortable during exertion, and prevents any perception of chill. These technical assets are combined with soigné styling, including a heathered check pattern, to impart a contemporary vibe.

( FEATURED REVIEW )

I would call this jacket a "wind breaker." The jacket is not lined so it is very light weight and can be worn over a t-shirt if it is rainy and warm, or easily layered with a sweatshirt for more warmth. Very versatile. It is also not bulky so it can be put in a backpack. It has a hood that is rolled up and kept inside the collar when not in use. The sleeves have Velcro on them so they can be cinched closed (no rain or wind up the sleeve).

As for size, my son wears a men's medium shirt so I bought the jacket in a large so he can wear a hooded sweatshirt under it with plenty of room. A medium would have also worked but he is still growing.

This is the second one of these that I have purchased as the first one was stolen from my son's locker at school. Considering how great the jacket is, I am disappointed but not surprised. Highly recommended for high schoolers, hikers/campers, and people who live in rainy warmer climates.

For the price, you aren't likely to find a better packable rain jacket than this. From the snazzy color scheme and design to the light weight, to the stowable hood and roomy pockets, this jacket punches way above its weight class. The jacket packs down easily into a pouch about the size of a softball, and can therefore be taken just about anywhere without being cumbersome. Once you've got it unpacked, you'll be able to cinch the wrists to your comfort level, and with the zipper zipped and hood up, you'll stay dry as well as toasty. That leads me to one of the jacket's only issues. Due to the water-resistant nature of the materials, the jacket doesn't breathe very well. A couple of underarm vents would have made a huge difference in the comfort level of this jacket. However, as long as you're not trying to stay dry in the tropics, it really isn't enough to be a deal breaker. No, this jacket isn't going to stop you getting wet in a hurricane, but it's great for mild to moderate rain, and at less than $40.00, it's well worth having.
