MISSION Men's Vaporactive Catalyst Jacket

This is a very high quality garment, from stitches to zipper. With zippered pockets, my stuff is secure, and there is a lot of reflective built into this jacket, so safely be seen by motorists. there is a liner inside adding to the warmth, and there are thumb holes at the end of the liner, making for a half glove on colder days, a feature i really like. One reviewer mentioned that the inner lining can come out when taking off jacket-this is easily remedied by simply pulling the leave and liner together, right hand pulling the left sleeve off and vice versa. The jacket repels water quite well too.

The jacket is made in high quality. Much better than I expected

I like this .supper

Amazing jacket, great material and fresh look...

Other than fitting a bit on the small side for a XXL, I really, really like this jacket. I didn't know that it had the sleeve inserts with the thumb holes that covered up your wrists. This is GREAT for NY cold weather so that there's no gap between your jacket sleeve and cuff of your gloves. This also helps keep any cold air from sneaking its way up your sleeve. There's also a hidden hoodie in the collar! I would have preferred a bit thicker fabric for the hoodie, but I love that it can be tucked away in the collar. The way the zipper has been stitched in the collar where the hoodie goes makes it look more like simple detailing around the collar. It doesn't look obvious that there is a hidden hood because of a big exposed zipper.The fabric of this jacket is rather unique. It's soft, slippery, and heavier than it looks. When I first pulled the jacket out of the box, I was shocked that it weighed so much. You'd think that the fabric would be twice as thick (at least) based on the heaviness, but it's not. This makes the jacket even more appealing. The protection of a weightier jacket from wind and cold but with the ease of movement and less bulk of a thinner fabric. The jacket is well made and stylish enough to be worn with business casual work clothing. The sleeves are a bit form fitting, so wearing this over anything like a suit jacket or heavy sweater might be difficult. Overall, the jacket does have a more fitted shape and isn't as boxy as many on the market. Though it fits on the snug side, it's a good snug rather than a bad snug. The fabric is stretchy and allows for an excellent range of movement without becoming cumbersome, tight, or riding up and exposing your lower back and abdomen to cold air. To add to this already great jacket, there are zipper closures on the pockets to ensure that nothing can fall out of them, and two inside pockets to store your phone and/or wallet. The inside pockets don't have any sort of closure, but they are rather deep.The only thing that would make this jacket better would be offering it in more colors. The moonless night isn't bad, but having other colors like red, grey, green, white, etc. would be nice. The orange is rather...bright, and the blue isn't bad but having the option of a lighter or darker blue would be good. Though this might be meant for outside activity like running or hiking, I can see many buyers using it as their everyday jacket as well so being able to choose more neutral colors would be a useful option.

Getting ready to head to Canada to hike in the numerous national parks. Needed a jacket that would keep me warm, be flexible for hiking, look nice, and water resistant for dewy and rainy days. This jacket fit the bill perfectly.The material is very soft to the touch and nice and cozy when you put it on. The area under your arms has an added section of mesh material to allow you to breathe. Each pocket has a zipper to keep your valuables safe and sound. They are made of a mesh material that will not keep you hands warm. They seem to be more for secure storage than for hand warming.Nice stand up sides with hood hidden in a zippered compartment. Hood has adjustable ends to size the hood to your liking. While hiking in a rain forest near Vancouver, it started raining. It was so amazing that the raindrops actually rolled off the jacket! Great for keeping me dry.One interesting note is the sleeves have an interior sleeve with a thumb hole for ease to keep sleeves downward with putting the jacket on. Once the jacket is on, you can slip your thumb outside of the hole and it's like a regular sleeve. Or, you can leave your thumb in the hole for those crisp mornings that you need to wear gloves and want to keep your wrists warm too. The sleeve stays put under your gloves and doesn't allow any wind or cold to sneak under the wrist of your jacket. Great for my cold morning hikes.Great looking jacket, slick style, and nice comfortable stretchy material that moves with you.

I was positively surprised by the Mission Vaporactive Catalyst jacket. I had an impression based on the description but after opening it, I think there is more than meets the eye here. The first aspect was the weight: it’s heavier than I expected with a nearly complete lining. The lining is a soft, microfleece throughout the body.The exception in the shell/lining construction is the jersey-like, stretchy panels on the sides and vented underarms. This is the material I’m familiar with from Mission’s athletic shirts. The sleeves are hiding two stretchy cuffs to partially cover your palms, including a thumbhole.The reflective details on the front (see photo) run the length of the body along the seams of both sides of the zipper. On the back, the graphics on the center/back are reflective. A hood is built into the short, stand-up collar, hidden by a zipper enclosure.In terms of fit, I believe the medium at 38-40 chest is true to size and perfect for me. I don’t wholeheartedly agree with the relaxed fit description. I would be careful if you are purposely trying to size down.I don’t see a size chart at this time, but Mission lists the following chest sizes: Small 35-37 chest; Medium 38-40 chest; Large 41-44 chest, XL 46-48 chest; and XXL 48-52 chest.This jacket performed well for me on cooler nights. It's a great addition to the Mission shirts I use.

La marca es ahora una de mis favoritas en ropa deportiva, esta chamarra es ideal para usarse previo o posterior al entrenamiento, la tela es ideal, no guarda olores, secado rápido, impermeable, el peso es ideal y ademas luce fabulosa. La recomiendo sin dudar.

De muy buena calidad, me sorprendió q abajo de la mangas tenga otras mangas negras para el frío, tiene varios bolsos y una pequeña capucha que se puede guardar lo único que me hubiera gustado es que las mangas azules no tuvieran un corte tan simple y le hubieras puesto algún resorte para verse mejor

Muy buena chamarra de excelente calidad

Excelente chamarra. Excelente calidad.
