Cotopaxi Manteau isolé Capa - Homme

This jacket has much less insulation and warmth than the description led me to believe. It's very thin, and for me it's not useful. I can't imagine a situation where there's not a better jacket option (lighter windbreaker or a warmer insulated layer).

This is a nice lightweight layer. It fits a bit boxy. The colours are unique and great. It is breathable and warm.

I really love these jackets, the colours are beautiful. But this insulation just doesn’t seem to cut it, although it’s mostly because it’s not down inside but it feels a little cheaper than the other jackets from this brand.

Great fit, perfect for everyday wear.

Super coupe, mais un peu étroit aux hanches. Chaud et parfait pour ceux qui font du sport- duvet synthétique qui ne garde pas humidité. Couleurs plus belles en vrai- moins brillantes/luisantes.

There are a lot of pros to this jacket, It's in the same class as the Patagonia Nano Puff -- light synthetic insulator. The style is similar, but the fit is less boxy (closer to the Arcteryx Proton in some ways) and the colourways are more interesting. The colourways give it a more casual, retro look for urban and casual outdoor use, and if you're...Lire la suiteRead more about There are a lot of pros to this

wearing this for winter sport, you're likely going to be wearing it under a shell or other layers, anyhow. Build quality seems high, and it's less expensive than the Nano Puff. I also got this on a great sale, which made it an even better buy.

Feature-wise, this is also a close fit to the Nano Puff with the same new Primaloft Gold PURE insulation but more of it. In terms of warmth, this will take me down to a few degrees celsius standing around. A base layer, fleece or similar might get me a few more degrees, but lower than that, this a layer for something else.

Breathability is about par for this category, with active insulators and fleeces better equipped to support active use. The colourway does a nice job of keeping this from looking like a garbage bag, but fans of a plain matte black might look to the Arcteryx Proton or the Mountain Hardwear Kor Strata. I have both. Neither is quite as warm as the Capa, but they have a little more room for layering and aore.robust shell fabric.

Elastic at the cuffs is nice, but there are no chest or drop in pockets for those who want that in an insulator. Zippers works like a charm and overall build quality seems high.

This fits small compared with other brands. I'm 5' 9", 145lbs, Alim build, long torso. I normally wear an XS for Patagonia and Arcteryx regular fit, a small for Houdini, a medium for Castelli, and have a small Cotopaxi fleece which fits quite large in comparison. But I went with the size guide and the small fits me quite nicely. If you're worried, get a Membership and take advantage of free returns.

All in all, this is a stylish, fitted alternative to the Nano Puff in most ways, only less expensive. Lire moinsRead less about There are a lot of pros to this
