word of comment here: I prefer when the drawing flaps are fastened to the back and not on the front, because I do not need to worry that I will bump against something and unfasten the flap. I wore my Rapax on a shirt, a thin woolen sweatshirt or thicker insulation layers. Such sets, when used for standard urban activities, would work up to -3 or even -5°C. When wearing only a T-shirt, the top limit would be about 10°C, unless it is windy or there's a drizzle. Summing up – a well-designed URBAN softshell at a decent price, if you do not plan any excessive physical activities. In case of physical activity, it is better to invest your money in a version without membranes. RAPAX AND LOTOS The professional reviewers before me probably wrote about all the disadvantages of this "windbreaker". Rabbit reminded me of that name some time ago... a short jacket "to protect you from wind", but also to let you look stylish. Yeah... the issue with Rapax is that it looks good but has some issues with functionality and the expectations you have when it comes to the material this gem was sewn from. In my opinion, it is a well-designed, low-budget product that ensures good esthetical experience (if you have any). Of course, you will not increase your IQ or win the hearts of all women, when wearing the jacket. However, it can be used as support during the heavy struggle, i.e. at the shooting range in the company of "super heroes" or during the manly competition on the city streets. The jacket will pretty skillfully hide the muscle of your typical "Sunday commando", slightly highlight the line of arms, while the length will indicate that the user is in good shape. And of course, the stylish tactical and urban color! Space Gray, Wolf, or any other similar name. It may be the thing! For a low price, you can have a well- designed jacket and look good in it – sorry to say that, but a hood would totally ruin the whole concept! – too casual, youth-like, or even too boyish! The asymmetric pockets... well, I think we all are young enough to differentiate right side from the left... you can get used to it. As for the drawstring – I do not have the chance to deal with it (I am your typical Sunday commando) so you must trust Rabbit. As you can see, we already have the picture of Rapax – all you need to do is refrain from tiring, running, jumping, searching for a hood, keep searching through pockets when you need to immediately pay for something... but you can keep the photograph of your sweetheart or your last buck in the fifth pocket, the one on your heart... and the jacket will serve its purpose! It will perform well when you adjust your collar while looking at the woman next to you, it will perform well during meetings at the shooting range, on the street, at a pub or a diner, or in many other places. All in all, user's satisfaction is the key. To be honest, I will keep using Rapax because I know about it flaws so I will not expect too much from it. I www.fragoutmag.com
