Fabric: Schoeller Dryskin Extreme 3X
Fill: none
Price Paid: $175

The Schoeller fabric is wonderful! The company is now having the coat put together in China, and the lack of quality definitely shows. The seams at the cuffs, around the velcro closures are uneven. There are loose threads here and there. The collar is large enough to get an arm through once it is zipped all the way up.

The concept of the jacket is really great, but the Cloudveil execution of the concept leaves a lot to desire. If I were to wear this in the outdoors, I would have to dress for drafts. The velcro on the cuffs is large enough to shread several pairs of wool gloves, and would be better replaced with a bit of elastic.

I would have given it the one star rating (useless) if it weren't for the fabric. It was not even worth the half price, end of season sale from Cloudveil. I returned it.
