I have just received my new jacket. It looks superb, the quality is absolutely first class. I have only recently discovered this label, and can say without question I will be ordering more items in the future, it was beautifully packaged, and even had a little hand written thank you card, great personal touch. I’m super impressed, and can not recommend these guys highly enough.

Great jacket - size up

But sized up on this and glad i did as will its a small bit tight in shoulders can only imagine the M being unwearable. other then that lovely jacket and great visibility. yet to test full waterproof-ness but being from Ireland i doubt itll be long till its neededShow full review -
Excellent product
Very good product of Isadore,who working as is described. I use already much more than was expected preliminary- in days of wind,rain,no wind,no rain,sun or not...no matter! Very exact is advertised as clothing for three seasons and this is the truth. Reflective panels are something special ,they are enough big and visable in the dark as is neccessary. Very light jacket,who can be put easy in one pocket.The size M is very OK for me,I am 174 cm,67 kg,its comfortable of my body. Thank you very much of Isadore for excellent product,who is already used with pleasure ! :-)Show full review -
My favourite jacket
I like this jacket very much and wear it as often as it makes sense. The fit: I am 180 cm and 80 kg. It means I am not the lightest and not the fittest. Size L is really ok leaving enough space for a small belly. The function: superb. The reflectiveness is great, so the visibility. The double zipper is very good, does not make any issues. The style: This jacket looks ace. Minus: I wish the breathability were a bit better. This does not mean it is bad. I have a rainjacket from another brand, double the price with a better breathability. Considering the price is important as well. Overall: would buy it again. Great jacket.Show full review -
Sizing Help (cant give no rating on the performance)
I orded the Jacket in M (got the Baselayer in M and the Bib also: those fit perfect like a second skin on me, 179cm / 78kg) The Jacket though is in my shoulder / back / toparm section too tight. Means if u are not the spidery climbing guy and more the muscular one, take one size over your standart size. The material feels really well. Havent rode the jacket so far, will get the larger size.Show full review -
Great Jacket
I am totally satisfied with the jacket. Looks great and feels great. At 178cm and 70kg I tried sizes S and M and ended up choosing M. Size S was actually quite good but too tight for me in the shoulder area.Show full review -

essential as it gets
This jacket quickly happened to be my most favourite piece of kit. It looks great, reflective panels work as advertised and the garment breathes very well so I don't tend to overheat even when the jacket should have been long off. Worked great in quick mild showers and snow so far. Keeping me warm from morning/evening chills as expected. When unzipped it doesn't make much of a noise as other garments do, it just sails trhough the wind like a superman cape. I really love the double zipper making the jacket even more versatile and easy to use. I would appreciate if the collar was a bit higher. In regards of fit, it was a bit tight in the shoulders and short on the forearms in the beginning but after some time it settled and now it fits perfect. I'm aprox. 190 cm, 70 kg, longish skinny arms and went for size S along all other Isadore tops.Show full review -
leichte regenjacke
funktional mit den reflektierenden parts, angenehm zu tragen, nicht so eng geschnitten, sodass man bei normal gewählter größe auch noch ein langärmeliges trikot darunter bringt. top!Show full review -
I love the jacket
In my opinion the women's jacket is true to size. I'm 176, 63 kg and size M is just perfect. The material is very soft and lightweight. I love the design and two-way zipper works well.Show full review -
Herr
Besitze nun das Jäckchen die dritte Woche. Ich habe es meistens bei kühleren Temperaturen gefahren, noch nicht beim Regen, aber dennoch, das Ding hält, was es verspricht.Ist wirklich leicht, kann in die Rückentasche, oder Mousette, wenn man es nicht braucht. Die reflektirenden Stellen sind auch perfekt, vor allem in Tunnels, aber auch am Abend, oder in der Nacht. Bin 172cm/64kg, laut der Tabelle eine Mischung aus S-M Größe, aber die tolle Isadore Beratung hat auch hier geholfen und mir die Entscheidung für M erleichtert. Von mir eine klare Empfehlung für dieses Produkt.Show full review -
Podivuhodný strih.
Bundu som dostal ako dar. Má veľmi kvalitný materiál aj prevedenie, no strih mi nesadol. Mám veľkosť M, meriam 186 cm a 79 kg no aj tak sa v nej cítim nepohodlne. Na pleciach a ramenách bunda príliš odstáva, v podpaží je až nepríjemne obtiahnutá. Po druhom praní sa odlepil tag s logom/veľkosťou/materiálom. Zvláštne.Show full review -
Great design, poor longevity
The design of the jacket is amazing, I really liked the reflective material which was the reason I’ve made the purchase. However after only few washing machine cycles the reflective coating started to peal off and the jacket is now ruined. If you want long lasting piece of a kit I highly recommend to stay away from this one, would not purchase again.Show full review -

Dobrý a funkční materiál. Velmi špatný střih. Reflexní prvky jsou krásně vidět .....RLShow full review -
I was excited to get this jacket but ended up very disappointed
The jacket looks great colouring wise and when I put it on, the sizing xxl (I'm a 44 inch chest) seemed good but I noticed shoulders that looked like something out of Dallas in the 1980´s. I thought wearing it would help and it was probably just due to packing and transport. Sadly the issue didn't go away and the excess material in the shoulders flapped annoyingly at speed. I'll be looking to sell this and get something that doesn't need shoulder pads. very disappointed.Show full review
