2008 Nau Shroud of Purrin Hoody | Last Updated: 02/25/09
Gear Reviews>>Jackets>>Light Weight>>Nau Shroud of Purrin HoodyPRODUCT SUMMARY
By TeleTara
THE GOOD
I love this jacket. Here's why:
- The inside is sooo soft.
- It is a really flattering cut (slightly tapered waist, longer in back, raglan sleeves, high collar)
- It's super lightweight and compressible
- It's made from post-consumer recycled goods
- The material is stretchy, so I feel free as a bird.
- Did I mention that the inside is really really soft?
THE BAD
- The hood isn't quite big enough to fit over my helmet.
- Although the chin zip is covered with super soft fleece, it doesn't process moisture as well as microfiber, so my chin gets wet from condensation.
- The zippers and hood adjustments are pretty small, so they're difficult to use with mittens on.
- I wish there was a catch-all elastic pocket on the inside.
- No pit zips.
- More color choices would be nice!
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
Nau is a super progressive company, making eco-friendly apparrel that is both stylish and functional. I truly would be stoked to wear this jacket on a backcountry tour and I would still fit in at a hipster party in downtown Portland. If you are only going to buy one jacket, and it doesn't need to be 100% waterproof, the Shroud of Purrin is a great multifuntional choice.
