Keeps you warm even when the weather is very bad so it's a i can recommend it. But compared to other jackets this is a. Shell jacket so other shell jackets that. Are more robust more cordura like and i. Think i would go with such a jacket if i. Needed to go on this more snowboarding but this is old year-round jacket i. Could even use this in summer denmark. So it's pretty nice especially if you. Live in a very rainy place like in denmark it rains almost every day I'm. Just exaggerating but it's quiet. Many days often it's it rains very often. At the very burned in denmark so to have. A nice jacket also enables you to go out. On your bike everyday and that's more. (Important) than just saying oh i don't. Need a good jacket because it's too expensive and then I'll just sit around at home all the time but it's more. Important that you can come out and experience different weather types and. Just drink enough eat enough drink enough water drink eat. Enough fruits and then you that will. Help you stay warm and the amazing thing. Is that you're completely dry on the inside so as you can see i just this is. The more here is just because when i open my jacket so good jacket.
