Amazon EssentialsMen's Water-Resistant Softshell JacketOEKO-TEX STANDARD 100

Really pleased with this jacket - good sturdy material inside and out, easily accessable zippered pockets, including an often used pocket for phone conveniently located at left breast area w/ vertical zipper. I initially ordered it in black and was pleased enough to order it again, but in gray. Lost one and ordered it again.

I got a XXL and it is similarly sized to other XXL jackets. Overall, this is a great buy; I wear it over a hoodie when riding my motorcycle and it does a great job breaking the wind and keeping me relatively warm during rides in the low 50s. The only drawback is the chest pocket size; it's a bit too small to get my Samsung S22 ultra in (vertically). I can get it in catty-corner, though.

Fits well. A bit stiff. Water resistance.

Though I am returning this jacket, it is an excellent jacket. Workmanship is great and the fit is trim and looks great on me. I liked the three zipper pockets - two pockets for on the sides and one exterior chest pocket for cellphone or whatever. No inside pockets. The fleece lining would make this very suitable for temperatures in the low 30s F or upper 20s F. The zipper front has an inside “wind” flap to keep you warmer on windy days. With layering of shirts, sweaters, and/or a layer of long-sleeve undershirt, I would probably used this on many winter days in my previous residence in Minnesota! However, I am in need of a lighter weight garment for the Arizona winters here in the Phoenix area.

When I ordered this jacket it was to replace a jacket I used for like 10 years. It wasn't that thick but did the job. This Amazon jacket came on time and in perfect condition. Sized perfectly (2x) and I'm 5'11 and about 255 who weight lifts and like going on walks. So I needed a jacket that can handle the elements of weather. This jacket has 2 side pockets and a pocket near the chest area. Quite a thick jacket and the exterior is water proof. Got it on sale around 25 bucks and onsale (originally like 38 and change) . Very impressed with the Amazon essentials brand.

The jacket does the chin guard well, the cuffs are solid and the attention to detail is superb. The lining is there!! I am used to a softshell with less warmth. This jacket is best served with a layering system planned with this being a layer to provide some warmth. I have a softshell that was easily twice the cost and certainly does not meet the standard of value this jacket presents. So while I was taken sideways by how warm the lining can be, this is my own assumption and failure to pay attention to detail when ordering, not a fault I hold against the jacket. So where are the super tiny flaws? or super tiny details done right?The cuffs are the easiest place on this jacket to find the smallest pros and cons on an otherwise AMAZING value proposition.The velcro on the cuff is great quality. The hook and loop sides both are done spectacularly well. On some jackets the ribbon base on the loop side of the velcro can be placed to far to the edge of the cuff presenting an abrasive edge to wear on your hands/wrists. Not so on this jacket. The spacing is superb.The hook side can have issues such as scratchy hooks, aggressive ribbon base under the hook velcro or other issues that create scratching and abrasions. Not on this jacket. They use a hook section that is a rubbery material with hooks that are more like little triangle tree stumps so nothing feels scratchy or abrasive at all. The rubbery material has a friction grip feel on the back side so you can get some grip in the rain or cold, and the edges are smoothed over or rounded.The cuffs are where the issue of this jacket exists though, the small small issue. The lack of internal elastic or section of elastic. Basically the cuff is all fabric tube with velcro to seize it down for warmth or to close aorund your gloves during a snow covered wrestling match or w/e. In some other jackets the sleeve would compensate for this adjustability with a touch of elasticity, and I know why.With this jacket if you cinch down witht he velcro then you may have to uncinch the velcro to get your hand back through the sleeve. Therefore for a better day to day fit in the sleeve you would need to velcro both sleeves getting into the jacket then both getting out of the jacket. Every time. This of course is not reality and you can have them cinched down but not fully and slip your hand in and out, leaving the velcro where it is, and only need to adjust it if you want to cinch down the cuff completely.I know this is a very small nitpick more than a flaw, but I think if I point it out then you can understand the level of criticism I can bring to a jacket and to see this is the only thing to nitpick means the jacket for the price is an insane value proposition. They could definitely sell this jacket for double the price and still have great ratings and reviews. It is an incredible jacket and value.

Very light and easy for cleaning

only thing bad i have to say, but really sucks, is that the velro dosent work. ended up cutting it off.
