I've had this jacket for 3 years now. I got it in December 2021. I was, and still am, so excited for this jacket. I love reflective clothing. I own so much of it and even have a matching jacket for my dog. I seriously love it.
That being said, with three year's worth of wear, I can feel confident saying I've stress tested this thing pretty well. This jacket went a long time without having any issues except one. The white fluffy lining always came poking out the ends of the sleeves for me. It looked like I had furry cuffs from the start. You can kinda stuff the lining back in if you play with it enough, but still. Honestly sometimes I think it's kinda cute but not how the jacket is supposed to function per the photos. Still not by any means a deal breaker.
Now speaking of the lining, this coat is WARM. My god, I love how warm this jacket is. I wore it to Apocalypse in Long Beach and I am so glad I did. I was so cozy even though it was freezing with wind from the ocean. Usually I just wear it when I got outside with my dog. Great dog walking jacket when it's cold.
I think it was around 1.5-2 years in, the zipper fell off. Huge bummer. I wish I could see a version of this jacket with a metal zipper. This one is plastic. For the cost, you would think a metal zipper wouldn't be out of the question. Maybe in the future...?
Now as for the reflective outside, I mean that's the whole show, isn't it?? And it's amazing. Let me tell you. I leave this hung up in the corner of my living room and when I go to bed, I had to get used to not jumping out of my skin seeing this bright hooded figure in the corner. The photos don't lie. And pockets. Omg. As a woman, we're used to our clothes not having pockets. This jacket delivers. Outside pockets are deep (and fuzzy!). They can hold a lot. I lose stuff in them all the time. And then...inside pockets!! I don't use those often but I really love having the option. Those are super deep too. Like guys, you can put so much stuff in this. It's ridiculous. Easily water bottles. Your phone. Any phone. Name a phone and yes. Probably a phone from the 80's. Lots of real estate in pockets is what I'm saying.
Now, let's talk wear and tear. The reflective coating (or whatever it is) is kind of cracking in the "stress points" of the jacket, like the corners of the pockets, the base near the zipper start, and at the seams. And speaking of the seams, yikes, both arms have seams ripping. There are also a few holes in the lining of the hood where I hang it up. It's very delicate material and repeated stress in one spot can cause rips. Using a hanger would be best for this. I wish there was just a bit better quality with the details so it lasted longer without showing this much wear. I'm not doing Pilates or strenuously hiking in this thing. I'm just walking around my yard with my dog.
All that said, I still love this jacket. I am going to find a seamstress who can help me replace the broken zipper with a nice, high quality metal zipper and get the arms touched up so they don't fall off and I have a super weird long vest. This jacket is so much fun and I get compliments on it every time I wear it. It's my favorite jacket even after 3 years and some bumps along the way. I'm going to fix her up and make her almost new again (hopefully). I would absolutely buy this jacket again if this current one were to ever completely fail me.
If you've been wanting this for a long time or you just saw it today, buy it. You won't regret it. I know I don't. :)
*size wise I'm 5'4 135lbs and I got a small. It fits me loose with plenty of room for like, 5 huge sweaters underneath and it comes down to my knees.
There shorts are perfect, they are exactly like the photos and fit perfectly. The quality is always what I expect when I order from Flexliving.
I absolutely love my nerdy shorts and I love that you have sizes that fit. I'll definitely order more in the future!
Some of the best mesh shorts I have ever worn. Super soft, light, quality material, and pristine printed patterns. They are perfect lifting or lounge shorts.
The shorts are great. Good fit, prints are sharp, mesh is a good weight, and the cut is just right to show off some leg without being ridiculous. Made the 7 weeks I waited for delivery worth it.
Very comfortable, with a good weight. These shorts are built to last
I had ordered a few pairs of these type of shorts, with different designs, a while ago and wasn't really happy with them. The cereal graphics made me want these, so I decided to try again. I sized up and I'm really happy with my most recent order. You should get some, they come with a guaranteed* podium finish for your next competition.
*No guarantee
I wish they had more heavy mesh shorts! I love them all and I have almost all of them! People love them and I get a lot of compliments
I really love the pattern and the customer service is excellent, and while the shorts fit the pattern stretches so much it whites out a lot of it so I think I need to size up. I ordered a size up in another print to test out my theory.
Loved the print and the material for these were perfect so comfortable wish they used this fabric for all the shorts.
I am not a curvy woman, by any means, yet those pants do not support any curves (talking glutes). Other than that, super comfy material and squat proof.
Shorts fit great, accurate size guide. They are light and wispy like a grandmothers mustache. I like that they spent the time to print scooby on the pockets f you bunny ear them out. Made to order, and international shipping made for a pretty lengthy wait time. Factor that in if buying as a gift. Website is handy for fallowing up on order, customer service gets back very rapidly.
They’re really comfortable and don’t rise up sticking was a little itching so I just cut the excess fabric and they were perfect after
Initially I believed that this would work as Fanny pack and a cross body bag but it kinda works as a cross body bag if you loosen the strap alot. The fanny pack of course works as expected with two really large pouches on the front and back with a reflective material on both sides. The quality is amazing and the strap is almost seat belt like material. Overall a great Fanny pack with amazing build quality!
Nice quality shorts, but a little thicker than I was expecting. Pattern looks great!
My shirt has garnered several comments. It's a nice shirt, good material especially for summertime. It's still a little too big for me (size Small) so I wish they had an XS option.
