Where to start and where to end with this specific jacket.
I am in my third year of high school, I bought it in my third year of middle school, two sizes bigger after my mother's decision so that I can have it for next year too!
Thank you, mom, because now I see the value of this jacket.
I use it as a casual jacket, as I also have a Nike puffer jacket which is risky and easily torn, so I don't wear it as often.
This Emerson jacket is a beast, it has been washed for 3 years and the color has not faded anywhere, not even a little. I don't want to jinx it!
It has endured rain, snow, motorcycle crashes, and a lot of mishandling. And it doesn't have a single tear or loose thread! It is truly a jacket that has saved me.
Okay, it's not the most formal jacket, so it can't be worn on formal occasions, but in terms of performance, it surpasses any formal jacket.
In negative temperatures, don't expect to sweat, but even in those temperatures, if you wear a sweater underneath, you won't have any problems, I mean it. It has been worn in 1 degree Celsius, with a jacket and a short-sleeved shirt underneath, and on the motorcycle, I barely felt a relative cold. In combination with gloves and a full-face helmet, of course.
Externally, it's simple, just what it should be. The hood, even though you can adjust it, I haven't needed it for 3 years, it's ideal as it is and fits perfectly on the head. 2 side pockets, 1 on the chest, and 2 inside pockets, I carry my phone, airpods, wallet, keys, tissues, and sometimes even a power bank, and I still have space for a pack of gum.
Of course, it's water repellent, on rainy days it's the go-to jacket, even for weddings. I take many rides on the motorcycle throughout the day. Not a drop gets through, the pants may look like they came out of the washing machine, but the jacket will just be damp. Not from the inside, of course, externally and superficially.
After all this rain and washing, not even the letters have faded, not at all.
It doesn't retain odors, not even cologne or bad smells, and that has always been something that concerned me, but honestly, I have no complaints.
In my opinion, the thickness is just right. It doesn't restrict you anywhere, you can move comfortably. If you have chosen the right size, the fit will be amazing. I am 1.82-1.83 meters tall and weigh 78 kilograms, and the Medium size fits exceptionally well.
The zippers are nicely designed and, above all, they don't break.
I've said a lot, I know. To conclude, I will simply say that the jacket is as it was when I unwrapped it from the package and wore it for the first time, it's still the same.
5 stars, because it deserves them. If I remember correctly, I bought it for 65 euros, which is also an ideal price for this jacket. Although the price has increased relatively, I still believe it's worth it.
I hope I covered everything!
Happy New Year to everyone!
