ASICS Men''s Spry Jacket

I would say it is adequate, nothing exceptional. I did get this jacket at a good price on amazon where I found the lowest price.

I was after a thin, lightweight jacket that I could stash in my bag without taking up much space or adding much weight. This is very thin and light and folds up nice and small, better than I thought. It doesn''t add much warmth, but it''s intended more for rain protection, at which it is is pretty good. Of course there is no hood, but I prefer (and always carry) an umbrella, so that doesn''t bother me.

Fit seems ok, but not great for me. I normally hover between medium and small sizes, so clothes shopping is always a bit of a gamble. I went for the small and it''s a fairly loose fit, I think most other brands would call this a medium. The sleeves seem too long for me as well, I can almost cover my hand. But as I said this is mostly for emergency use such as when I get caught out by an unexpected weather change so it''s not really a huge problem for me, if I intended to wear this everyday these things would annoy me more.

The zips seem a little stiff to use, which is a fairly minor annoyance, but an annoyance nonetheless, how hard is it to find a decent zip? Almost everything else has a decent zip. There are two hand pockets with zips that are quite good for storing stuff, there is also an arm zip on the left hand side with a hole for headphones. There is no inside pocket at all, which is a minor disappointment as I find even a very basic inside pocket can be quite useful sometimes. But once again, not really a big problem for my intended use.

If you are just after a nice, simple lightweight jacket for sports or emergency use then this would do nicely I think. I would reconsider if you are after everyday wear though.
