ered if used as an insulation layer. User has 4 pockets at disposal – two biggest, outer pockets are at the bottom (with fleece liner to warm frozen hands), one small chest, one on the left side and inner pocket, all close with YKK zippers. If Wolfhound is used as a top layer, there is a Velcro on the left sleeve for the user to slap some patches on. Jacket is available in sizes ranging from XS to 3XL and an extended range of colors includes: Alpha Green, Coy- ote, Black, DNC, Shadow Gray, Fleck- tarn, Pencott WildWood, Tiger Stripe and Woodland. Generally, Wolfhound is a rather uni- versal jacket – it will work well in the city as well as in the "field" activities of different kinds, with some limita- tions during shooting related ones. If you manage to tuck it into pants (and fitting cut should help with it), every- thing should be ok as we will have a "climashield hooded sweater" but if not – you will need to roll it up to have access to pouches on the belt. The lack of any drawcord in the bottom edge is the biggest flaw. Wolf- hound fits tightly, which can be felt especially around hips and wearing thicker, insulated trousers might be problematic. What's more, bottom pockets are squeezed because of that fitting so it is almost impossible to put bigger things in there de- spite the size of pockets. As we are talking about pockets, the pocket inside is lower than the chest one outside on the left side. That might be an issue for some people. After a few weeks of use, the jacket has a solid 4+ on a 6-point scale – comfortable, made from good quality materi- als and simply warm. Because of lack of side ventilation panels, it will work great as an independent jacket during chilly and windy days as sides will be se- cured from any gusts of cold wind. On the other hand, when used as a mid-layer, air circulation will be quite bad between the layers. The price is average – almost half of the price of the products of premium brands but still not super cheap. Materials and quality are re- ally good for the price. Wolfhound seems to be a sensible choice for people living actively – in discrete colors it's rather tourist than mili- tary, so perfect for urban use. CLOTHING
