Summary

Not impressed at all.

Pros

It's a great idea for a product and an interesting design. With more effort in the construction and overall quality this could be a great product

Cons

Poorly made
Obviously cheap materials or cheap construction.

In a nutshell, I've had both problems with a seam and problems with the zipper. It is obvious that although this is a good idea for a product the construction and quality just is not there. This is clearly a jacket aimed at teens and trend followers and not at the serious outdoor clothing market.

If you want a solid technical brand there are many to choose from that are well designed, well BUILT, and will stand up to the riggors of outdoor sports. Loki is NOT one of those brands. They make cool stuff but do it cheaply and the result is it can not be depended on in real outdoor environments. Buy at your own risk.

It's great for the sledding hill or the walk to school, but not for anything resembling a mountain face or challenging outdoor environment. Fit was ok and the built-in face guard and hand covers were great. But the jacket got wet too easily, one seam on the arm gave out right away, and the zipper separated all the time. This would not be a good jacket in any kind of a real challenging environment.

Not worth the price, not dependable, not likely to be seen outside of the suburbs.
