   Excellent jacket… at a fraction of the cost of “name brands”
   I recently purchased the Amazon Basics yellow jacket and I couldn’t be happier with my purchase. The jacket is made with high-quality materials that are both durable and lightweight. The bright yellow color is not only stylish, but also makes me highly visible when I’m out on my morning runs or bike rides.One of the things I love about this jacket is how comfortable it is. The fabric is soft and breathable, which makes it easy to wear for long periods of time without feeling weighed down or uncomfortable. I also appreciate the zippered pockets, which are perfect for holding my phone, keys, and other small essentials.In terms of functionality, this jacket truly delivers. It’s water-resistant, so I never have to worry about getting caught in a sudden rainstorm, and the reflective strips on the front and back provide an extra layer of safety when I’m out in low light conditions. The adjustable cuffs and hem also ensure a snug fit that keeps out the wind and cold.Overall, I highly recommend the Amazon Basics yellow jacket to anyone looking for a high-quality, affordable outerwear option. It’s stylish, comfortable, and functional, and has quickly become one of my go-to pieces for all my outdoor activities.

   Comfortable, well made, and water resistant – yes, please
   I absolutely love this all-weather jacket from Amazon Essentials! The fit, comfort, and style all speak to a quality made product without all the extra fuss of a designer name, nor the extra price either. The breast zippered pocket is perfect for a normal sized cellphone (sorry, haven’t tried to uber large phablets yet) and allows easy access while out and about. The two side pockets are the perfect depth and positioning for your hands or a set of keys without worry that they may fall out. They are also zippered, in case you want to ensure what’s in your pockets, stays in your pockets.The fabric is similar to, but much lighter than, the neoprene like material that is used in wet suits. It is very comfortable, does not get stuffy, and appears to keep a light rain off just fine. Zipped up it also keeps the cold away enough in a light breeze, but probably isn’t ideal for winter wear.Overall, for a product made for Amazon directly, I am very impressed with the quality and design of this lightweight, water-resistant jacket. If you are in the market for a stylish, affordable jacket, then you need look no further.

   Nice jacket
   Material is nice. Fits my 14yr old perfectly. I got a small. Warm enough for 60+° days.

   Solid quality! Good alone or as an inslutaion layer.
   It wasn’t the fuzzy fleece I was expecting, but I am very happy with it. Jacket is well made out of thick material and it fits well. I purchased this as an addition, insulation layer under a weather proof nylon shell, and it works well. Being a “soft shell” it provides a couple of extra options for layering. Am actually impressed this kind of quality came from amazon.

   BUY IT BEFORE THEY DOUBLE THE PRICE
   The jacket does the chin guard well, the cuffs are solid and the attention to detail is superb. The lining is there!! I am used to a softshell with less warmth. This jacket is best served with a layering system planned with this being a layer to provide some warmth. I have a softshell that was easily twice the cost and certainly does not meet the standard of value this jacket presents. So while I was taken sideways by how warm the lining can be, this is my own assumption and failure to pay attention to detail when ordering, not a fault I hold against the jacket. So where are the super tiny flaws? or super tiny details done right?The cuffs are the easiest place on this jacket to find the smallest pros and cons on an otherwise AMAZING value proposition.The velcro on the cuff is great quality. The hook and loop sides both are done spectacularly well. On some jackets the ribbon base on the loop side of the velcro can be placed to far to the edge of the cuff presenting an abrasive edge to wear on your hands/wrists. Not so on this jacket. The spacing is superb.The hook side can have issues such as scratchy hooks, aggressive ribbon base under the hook velcro or other issues that create scratching and abrasions. Not on this jacket. They use a hook section that is a rubbery material with hooks that are more like little triangle tree stumps so nothing feels scratchy or abrasive at all. The rubbery material has a friction grip feel on the back side so you can get some grip in the rain or cold, and the edges are smoothed over or rounded.The cuffs are where the issue of this jacket exists though, the small small issue. The lack of internal elastic or section of elastic. Basically the cuff is all fabric tube with velcro to seize it down for warmth or to close aorund your gloves during a snow covered wrestling match or w/e. In some other jackets the sleeve would compensate for this adjustability with a touch of elasticity, and I know why.With this jacket if you cinch down witht he velcro then you may have to uncinch the velcro to get your hand back through the sleeve. Therefore for a better day to day fit in the sleeve you would need to velcro both sleeves getting into the jacket then both getting out of the jacket. Every time. This of course is not reality and you can have them cinched down but not fully and slip your hand in and out, leaving the velcro where it is, and only need to adjust it if you want to cinch down the cuff completely.I know this is a very small nitpick more than a flaw, but I think if I point it out then you can understand the level of criticism I can bring to a jacket and to see this is the only thing to nitpick means the jacket for the price is an insane value proposition. They could definitely sell this jacket for double the price and still have great ratings and reviews. It is an incredible jacket and value.

   Great jacket
   It’s a great jacket. Does the job for cold and rainy weather. The water doesn’t soak through and it keeps you warm. Not too heavy.

   Not A Fan
   This is a decent jacket for the price. But the inner lining drags against the sleeves on my shirts, making it pull the sleeves up while putting it on. Once it is on and shirt is straightened, it is comfortable enough.
