- Activity Focused Best for running, trekking, or gym activities.
- Fit Elastic borders ensure it covers the body well.

Could be better
- No Wind Flap Lacks a flap or rubber coating to block wind entering through the zip.
- Look Gives a "Sporty" vibe rather than a casual/street look.
- Awkward Opening When unzipped, the flaps open very wide, which looks odd casually.
- Contrast Zip The grey zip on the black jacket might not appeal to everyone.
- Portability Cannot be folded back into its own pocket (unlike some other Decathlon items).
