Amy Adcock Reviews Monsoon IL Jacket

Comments on fit/style: I really like the snaps versus zipper on the pockets. Being able to tighten up the area down the sides with the snaps is a nice bonus. Elastic in the wrists rather than Velcro to adjust the fit is nice. I have very skinny wrists and this is the best way to ensure they are snug! The length of the jacket is nice, too, rather than being cut at the waist, it allows coverage over the top of your pants. At first, I was not sure about the length, thinking that it would bother me in the back, but I never noticed it when running. Like the Axis Top, the fabric over the top of the zipper is brilliant!

Comments on fabric: The jacket wears very nicely. This test was in temps that, with the wind, were about 25 degrees (F). I layered the Axis top and another long sleeve shirt under the jacket. At no time was I cold, even when running into the wind. The fabric was also "quiet" when I ran. I have a great foul-weather jacket but I hear that plastic-on-plastic sound during my entire run!
