User Review: Cloudveil Serendipity Jacket

Cloudveil Serendipity Jacket
Above: The current Serendipity Jacket, which may differ slightly from the version reviewed.

Rating: rated 3 of 5 stars
Fabric: schoeller DrySkin 3xdry
Price Paid: $130

Pros:
Light, functional, good fabric for drape, tough and good fitting cut.

Cons:
Expensive, not as breathable as you may think, not very insulated.

I like the cut of this jacket, fits well. Not all the bells and whistles and I like that. Overall a great all-around jacket, but not perfect. When someone tells you it's perfect...it's a lie. No jacket I have found is perfect.

Also, this jacket is made in China, it used to be made in USA. How all the sudden, gear companies get super cheap labor, but their cost per item remains the same. And don't bring in taxes and shipping...I know international economic guidelines. Just a question.

Also, for cooler temps, go with the Polertec Powershield, a better fabric for cooler temps. Doesn't breathe quite as well, but will keep you warmer.
