Schlicht edle Optik.

Beautiful jacket

"It’s a truly beautiful jacket. Fast delivery. Gorgeous quality. The fit is a little tricky for me! I bought a small man’s version and although I’m very little, it is a bit tight around the bottom! Other than that/ I can wait for it to rain!!!"

"Sent it back, not my fit. Quite slim, but disproportional to arm length."

Great Quality

"Its a really nice jacket, the quality is very good so far. Breathable and waterproof. The only minus is that it is a bit tight on the body, from stomach to shoulders, im normal Build with a V body 177cm high, and i always wear M jacket, this feels small around my body, sleeves and the whole lenght are fine. Ive purchased it as outlet for a very reasonable price and i could loose some fat around my stomach anyway, so its a keeper. So if you are used to Medium, maybe consider a Large."

Etwas enger geschnitten als die

"Etwas enger geschnitten als die Vorgängerjacke. Die hatte ich 6 Jahre täglich Sommer wie Winter bei schlechtem Wetter auf dem Fahrrad im Einsatz. Ohne Schwächen außer den Reißverschlüssen. Die haben nach 6 Jahren aufgegeben. Meine erste Regenjacke, die dauerhaft dicht geblieben ist!"

— Jörg H. (5/5)

Leider zu eng geschnitten

"Die Jacke ist prima, das Material sehr angenehm und dicht. Leider ist der Schnitt an Schulter und Oberkörper zu eng."

I'm usually a Large, but

"I'm usually a Large, but the shoulders fit like a Medium on the Makalu Jacket. So I've gone with an XL. Good loose fit not too baggy and has room for layering. Great quality seam taping and stitching. Soft feel and quiet moving. Double zipper is perfect. Hood works well. Beautiful garment. I have not put it through the wringer yet."
