Flylow Malone Jacket - Men's

I have lots of performance shell jackets. Helly Hansen, Arc’teryx, Marmot, and Stio all grace my closet, so why did I need to by a Flylow? Well, I was on a trip and didn’t have the right kind of jacket, and I needed a shell. So I tried on a couple of Hellys, a Norrona, a Patagonia, a Burton, and a Flylow. They were all nice, but I liked the Flylow best for the features and the fit. It has the requisite pockets and powder skirt and helmet compatible hood, and they are all designed just right. It has a great 20k/20k fabric for ideal waterproofness and breathability, so it checks all the boxes, like a lot of others do, too, but the Flylow Malone stood out because it was all put together in the right way. And, it fit. The hood covers the helmet like others, but it is cut back a little on the sides so when you turn your head you aren’t looking at the inside of the hood. The zips are easy to reach and operate with three-finger gloves on, and the length is just right. It doesn’t feel like I’m wearing a mini-dress, and it doesn’t feel like I’m wearing a letterman jacket. In summary, the Flylow Malone jacket is “just right.”
