JACK WOLFSKIN MEN QUICK DRAW

I was looking for a backpack to use as a purse. This ended up being the perfect size! I can carry all my essentials plus my planner and film camera. It is surprisingly comfortable to wear even when it is full. Quality construction. My only issue is the fabric. My dog's hair is always sticking to the outside! I wish it had a little bit of a sheen to it. The drawstring does not close all the way so I am worried that things will fall out when I bend over sometimes. All in all it is a great bag!

I bought this jacket because I was traveling internationally from a cold climate to a hot climate and needed a lightweight jacket that would provide good coverage. It absolutely needed to be lightweight because it needed to fit into my carry-on backpack and be easy to carry around in the country with me when I needed it. That jacket was exactly that. The jacket is very lightweight and also folds into one of the pockets. After your unfold it from the pocket, it will be wrinkled. It was just stuffed into a small space after all. But before long most of the wrinkles come right back out and the jacket looks fine again. The jacket being able to fold into the pocket is also very handy for transporting it in bag or backpack.

Also the sleeves have velcro straps that make the end of the sleeves adjustable if you have smaller wrist or just want tighter coverage on your wrist. The sleeves were long enough for me which is always a plus. I am 5'7 and have longer arms so sometimes that can be a hassle.

The pockets are pretty large and have zipper which was great for me in the airport during the time when I always needed to have my passport out but didn't always want to have it in my hands. Travelers, y'all know what I'm talking about .

My only complaint is that the hood was a bit small to me. I wish it had a few more inches of coverage for my head but it's definitely manageable. I didn't really use it too much except on the plane when I wanted to sleep anyway and honestly it was good enough for that.

When I returned back to my colder climate, it was raining and the jacket was great for that too! It was fine for the light rain we had here. I stayed dry and thats usually the goal. I'm not sure how it will do in heavier rain, but honestly, if you need a raincoat, buy a raincoat right?

Overall, I would definitely recommend the jacket.
