Innovations are always challenging because they must sustain. Would love to know more about this one.

If you had a choice between this, the black squid or blue morpho which would you choose?

Hi there! Many thanks for your reviews on Vollebak's products, you're helping way more than you might think! :) Not sure if you still own this piece but could you share a bit more on the fit? Is it possible to layer underneath say, a small puffy like Patagonia's nano puff? Thanks!

[@airlandandseablogchannel4179]

Thanks for the feedback! I'm still using and loving this jacket it's awesome. If you want more than 1 thin layer beneath , and definitely a warm puffer layer thick, then I'd suggest going one size up.

That's incredible, also almost $500... for ultras when you need something waterproof, would you 100% recommend this?

[@airlandandseablogchannel4179]

I own one and bought it with my own money so I would say yes. I guess the point with these is you can either have a hum drum waterproof jacket like everyone else or you can have a waterproof jacket that's totally mental . I love it .vollebak gear sells out fast though so join their email list for releases and if you think you want one get one because some batch releases sell out in hours

Can you give us a update if the jacket still hold well?

[@airlandandseablogchannel4179]

Still great and I'm still wearing it

Thanks for the overview. Is the Jacket flimsy and easily damaged? How Water Resistant is the Jacket out of the box? Thanks for your time.

[@airlandandseablogchannel4179]

Its well made and sturdy. Its very water resistant and equivalent in quality and performance to waterproof breathable jackets in the 300 to 500 pound/dollar range

@@airlandandseablogchannel4179 Thanks so much!

How's the jacket keeping up? Does it still glow after a month? What happens after a wash or wearing it in the rain?

[@airlandandseablogchannel4179]

I've had it a year and it still functions great. The glow in the dark substance is part of the fabric so it doesn't wash out. If you wash it in tech wash and treat occasionally with nikwax breathable DWR treatment like you would any normal waterproof jacket itll be fine for years.

Hello this jacket if we wash it then il will be glow same as before or not? How is ur jacket today ?? Thanks

[@airlandandseablogchannel4179]

The glow is part of the fabric , rather than a coating. Like all waterproof breathable jackets you should wash with care at low temps with nikwax wash. This jacket still glows like the day I got it ...and I've had it 2 years . Thanks ! L-S
