Hikebound II Long Waterproof Jacket

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this coat to windy Iceland and it was great! Long body and long sleeves are amazing! I like that you can tighten strings inside the coat to have the option to make the jacket more fitted. It was much more flattering than having the typical boxy coat and made it warmer to wear. The drawstrings, however, catch on the velcro closings of the front and stick, snag, etc., strings with a coating that do not snag would be a vast improvement. In general, I hate velcro and could do without the velcro closings on the front of the jacket. I guess it's to keep wind away from the front zipper but I'd prefer snaps or toggles, etc., that wouldn't need to always be used and wouldn't snag the interior drawstrings.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The jacket is OK. I have not worn it out yet. I like being able to cinch it at the waist and the two way zipper, I absolutely hate that it has velcro closures on a flap over the zipper. I also wish the sleeves were elastic instead of velcro closures as the wrists are too big.
