I think most folks grab a jacket by its collar first before they put it on. Doing so with this jacket, you can’t help but notice the multi function collar with its distinctive attachments. A nice soft black “felt type” material lines this collar for comfort. On either side of the collar you find a collar loop and rubber clip for attaching your earbuds. Of course there is access to the PAN (Personal Area Network) on either side of the collar.
What is particularly nice is a removable hood that folds neatly inside and under the collar. This is a great feature and a welcome one especially if you get caught in that unexpected storm. Easy access with a Velcro fastener but what I like even more is that when it is folded away, the Velcro fastener always keeps it neat. Just below the Velcro fastener is a loop for hanging the jacket …. I never use these, do you? They look good, sort of a touch of class in appearance but I never use them.
As you hold the jacket, the epaulets that have been standard on many SeV products remain on the shoulders; great features that can be used for a variety of items like the SeV Solar Panel, a cell phone or a GPS. You will find two embroidered SeV logos; one on the back in the shoulder area and one on the top of the zipper flap in the front. In addition, there is an embroidered TEC logo and a TEC label on the sides of the jacket.
I like the zipper pulls…sturdy in design, they have a classy look with a
SeV label molded into the metal. It gives a very distinctive look and yet not at all over done. I think it adds to the overall appearance of the jacket. So what about the zippers? Where are they?
Pockets are what
SeV products are known for, but zippers on this jacket provide ease of access and security for items that you are carrying. The front zipper is a coarse heavy duty zipper that smoothly secures the jacket. A finer zipper is used on the two hand warmer pockets, the two breast pockets as well as the extra large rear pocket for safe and secure storage of your valuables. I like zippers that work smoothly and these glide easily. A quality zipper for a quality jacket---you would expect nothing else from a SeV product.
