I have this jacket in black size 42 and I love it. One of my go to jackets I wear most of the time. The hide is thick on mine and does well in the rain. It is light but warm and very pliable. This was my introduction to double helix and I have to say it impressed me. I remember I paid much more than this asking price guys ….

Thanks for the kind words! It’s a lovely jacket, but I prefer non-ribbed models. I’m trying to sell while the ribbing is in perfect condition.
