ChampionMen's Color Block Lined Windbreaker with Hood Jacket

My husband works out before dawn every morning and wanted an athletic jacket for when it gets cooler. He is 6 feet tall and weighs around 140lbs. He often has a hard time finding jackets where the arms are long enough. This arrived a few days ago and he’s been wearing it in the early mornings and declared it “perfect”. He said the arms are long enough, it’s lightly padded with a quilted inner lining so just warm enough for our temps here in the fall and early winter. It has two outer pockets and a hood. As usual for Champion clothing it is well made with some nice branded detailing (elastic and push tabs have the Champion name on it). It is a somewhat retro style with the color blocking and prime blue coloring but he loves it and it keeps him warm in the cooler morning and from getting chilled after workouts. I haven’t had to wash it yet, but it does have instructions on the label. It says water resistant so it’s not a raincoat but it will at least keep you from getting too wet if you have to run to the car in the rain.

This 100% nylon Champion lined windbreaker and rain jacket hoodie is well-made, designed, and stylish. Unfortunately, it is too big for me to wear. I normally wear medium, and the Champion size chart on the site suggests that medium was the right choice for me for this jacket. But it is very long at the waist (where it is very full) and in the sleeves and droops on my shoulders. The elastic around the wrists cannot be adjusted, so I can’t tighten them to secure them around my wrists. I did ask a friend who normally wears large-to-extra large to try it on, and it fit him perfectly. You might consider sizing down to get an optimal fit. Otherwise, the outside front pockets are ample and are closed with Velcro. The inside pocket is discretely tucked into the main zipper lining and provides enough room for a mobile phone or other small objects. The zippers are durable and rainproof. It has a cozy, comfy feeling and will keep you warm. The colors and design of the jacket are vibrant and not overly sporty.

im a woman, 5'8 and built like a beanstalk. the large is massive. the sleeves reach my mid palm (72" wingspan), and the bottom is just below my butt. my brother (who this is for) is 6'1 and also built like a beanstalk, and this fits him as pictured in the listing. the sleeves are perfect for him.the interior fabric is the smooth, silky type you usually find in most jackets. it's not super quilted, which is prefect for those windy fall days up north. the outside is that crumply, kind of rough fabric, so idk how it'd hold up in the rain. i wore it for a little bit while it was about 60° outside with a t shirt on, and it provided a comfortable amount of warmth without me overheating, which im prone to.the overall style of this is a straight up vibe. we dress in mostly streetwear, but he has a little more of a retro style, and this jacket fits in with both of our wardrobes. i LOVE the back design. it's simple, but it's executed so nicely. im boutta get another one for myself.

I ordered a size large, and I usually take between large and extra-large. The large one feels roomy but fits very well. I could easily fit a vest under it if I needed a second layer. The colors look great, much better than those in the product photos. The two side pockets are pretty deep and have velcro flaps to keep them closed, but they work well for hand warmers. There is also a zipper pocket over the left inside breast that's plenty big enough for a phone or wallet. The stitching and material quality are very good, as I would expect from Champion.

This hooded windbreaker is well-constructed, as you'd expect from a big name like Champion. Material is high quality and water resistant, zipper is smooth, hood has an elastic drawstring (that won't fall out). It's quite warm -- I was starting to sweat a little as I was trying it on indoors for this review -- so if you're looking for a really lightweight windbreaker/rainjacket, this is probably not right for you. The two front pockets are secured by velcro (and are also cloth-lined, making it warmer for your hands), and there's a zipper inside pocket on the left, big enough for a cellphone.My main quibble is that the jacket is pretty oversized, almost as if it were meant to be used by an athlete in full protective gear (e.g., football or hockey pads). It's probably just that I'm old-school and prefer my jackets to be more form-fitted, but I thought it's worth pointing out.But overall, it's an excellent jacket.
