Lotos says Who doesn't have a hoodie – such a person do- esn't exist, does it? That's why Carinthia decided not to reinvent the wheel and created a modern version of the hoodie. No super-duper features etc., just a simple hoodie. I wasn't surprised when I unpacked it, because Carinthia's products are known for their great quality and now they have an awesome hoodie. These awesome features are the combination of durable „techno-stretch", elastic sleeves, tightly fitting hood and these magnets on the bottom edge (where slits are located). Hoodie is quite fit- ted, maybe not skinny-fit, but slim can be used to describe it. Big pocket on the front is great, I use it mostly for keys and to carry something „quic- kly". Inside there are small mesh compartments for phones or other small stuff, but I do not like them, I am just saying - they do their job. Phone inside sits tight and doesn't fall out. Belly pocket can be closed with magnets as well. I like it and I use it quite often, but it is funny when these little magnets are being attracted to car's doors or metal handles of shopping carts etc. On the range I feel comfortable wearing it, as these slits help access the first line, but still, these ma- gnets… Functionality is what makes me like that hoodie - long zipper improve airflow and provide access to the layers under it. Same with the zippers on the sides. That comfort of loosening the sweatshirt when you have an „overloaded" belly or tightening to improve thermal comfort is irreplaceable. A few times I experienced nice weather and by `nice` I mean rain and wind, and I have to say ho- nestly that this hoodie did its work. It was rather comfortable, but this hoodie is not meant for such conditions. The hood was a life saver and after a year of using it only one seam came off near the cuff, no other damages at all. I like the design and quality of Carinthia, so my opinion cannot be ob- jective and I do not know if this hoodie is worth 245EUR, but it is just my point of view, as neither do I know if Mercedes G is worth over 250k eur.
