Our Verdict
The Stretch Cohesion jacket is very well designed, it has a good hood with a 'round the head' cinch cord that means the hood moves with your head. The front zipper has a both an outer and inner flap which is preferred by many to a simple water resistant zip.
Then there's the side pockets which do have water resistant zips. Finally this jacket features pit zips - if you've never had a jacket with these they are excellent when it showery but you need to ventilate because you're working hard.
The hand pockets are set low on the jacket so they can't be used if you are wearing a rucksack hipbelt. There is a single chest pocket which is a reasonable size - but not big enough for a map.
In summary: an excellent lightweight jacket using a good stretch fabric at a good price.
