Review on Columbia Ascender Hooded Softshell X Large Men's Clothing and Active by James Cypert

I love this jacket. I'm very picky about the features of my jacket and I think I've found exactly what I need. First, I wasn't looking for something super "warm". "But then what's the point of buying a jacket? Isn't that the point of the jacket? Keep warm?' You ask. Not really. I don't catch cold easily, I give off an absurd amount of heat, and unless it's windy all I need is a very light fleece, a hat and a hat, even in the coldest months pair of running gloves. in Pittsburgh in my daily life. This jacket doesn't have much insulation but is wind (and water) resistant. That means I don't get hot when I put on a jacket and walk around, but I don't get cold either, when I'm waiting for the bus in a strong gust of wind. I usually hate wearing jackets because I have to take them off as soon as I enter a building or I start sweating. It also means that I have to wear the jacket awkwardly on my hands both of these things cause me a lot of inconvenience, but with this jacket I can wear the jacket inside for a while without breaking a sweat. Big advantage. I also like that this jacket is waterproof. I would recommend this Yes I can give five stars, even if it's not just because of what I wrote above, but because it's waterproof, that's a big bonus. I left work a few days ago after being indoors all day and was surprised that it was raining. It was only my second day with the jacket but it was very comfortable to wear. I would have been soaked to the skin in my standard fleece, but being in this one stayed dry and dry. I usually throw away a pack of gum or something, but it's big enough for my iPhone 6+ and up. I wish this jacket had inside pockets too, but that's not a big deal. As for the fit: I'm quite a tall guy and tall. I'm 280 and 6ft 8in tall. It's quite difficult for me to find things that suit me. I usually buy XL but I don't need short sleeves so I took XXL. Size XXL is larger around my stomach. and chest, I would normally like to, but the sleeves and jacket are just the right length and I love the jacket so much I don't mind if it's a little loose. The outer material of this jacket is really cool too, it feels like neoprene but it doesn't really feel like it's supposed to be waterproof but it definitely is. This jacket keeps you warm and is just right for you.
