Ambassador check out Workman's new autumn/winter releases! [7] It can be 3 ways depending on the combination. Buy a jacket and fleece vest that you can use freely!?

Work clothes jacket. A few years ago, to be honest, I had the impression that it was uncool. However, Workman has adopted fashion and has undergone a transformation with a design that can be used fairly well for Tyne and outdoor use. This time, the jacket and fleece vest we tried out are available in three seasons. Of course, you can wear it with just a jacket or just a fleece vest. By combining the jacket and fleece vest, the heat retention is improved. It seems like it would be very useful as a clothing item during winter hikes, but how does it have the ability to do it?

Workman's jacket and fleece vest review that you can use freely

UJ001B Utility M65 Type Jacket (Outdoor Recommendation Level ★★☆☆☆) 1,900 yen

Easy to move ◎ Windproof △ Breathable △ Heat retention △ Feel to the touch ○

Although it is workwear, it is a design that suits outdoors as well. The large chest pocket looks easy to use.

Lining. It's good for behavioral wear, but you can't expect much heat retention.

A highly water-repellent jacket with Teflon finish. The waistline is plump, but the sleeves on the arms look a little tight, but it's easy to handle when you think of it as a wear that will keep you sweating well. The large chest pocket and side pockets offer a large storage capacity. The Teflon coating is resistant to dirt and water-repellent, and repels small amounts of rain and dirt. However, after wearing it, I realized that although it is a fall/winter item, it is intended for three seasons, so it is not very expected to be warm. With this one piece, you'll feel cold even when climbing a low mountain in winter. Also, even if you were to expect three seasons, it is not a windproof jacket, so it doesn't work as an outerwear, which is difficult to use.

I felt that stretchy cuffs would be easier to adjust.

Comes with a hood that can be stored. You can rest assured even if it rains a little.

When I put it in a portable storage bag, it was quite compact.

UJ005 Utility Freece Inner Vest (Outdoor Recommendation Level ★★★☆☆) 1,500 yen

Easy to move ◎ Windproof △ Breathable ◎ Heat retention ○ Feel on the skin

A surface fabric with a fluffy feel. The wind easily passes through. I wish the fabric was a little more wind-blocking fabric.

The back is also fluffy.

A lightweight fleece vest. Both sides are made of stretchy fleece for easy movement, the surface is water-repellent to prevent dirt, and chest pockets are attached, making it easy to use, making it easy to use as ever. However, I felt that it would be fine to have a little more cold protection. The unfortunate thing about this vest and jacket is that both have a little more protection against the cold, and when combined, it feels like it has a little more heat retention. I might have changed a little if I tried it in a slightly warmer season. By the way, button closures to combine them with the jacket are also a bit of a hassle. A zipper type should be easier to put on and take off even when sweating while you are on the move.

When attaching fleece to an M65 type utility jacket, first lock the collar.

Then fasten the button and lock it. Is it something that can't be zippered?

Finished installation. It doesn't have much heat retention, but it's a piece of clothing that can be used when you're on the move or when you're working.

summary

The idea of ​​combining a jacket and vest is pretty good. I think it's really interesting. The drawback is that it can be used if you are in action. I'd like to see some more warmth in terms of both the jacket and the inner vest. If the jacket had windproof properties, it could have been possible to effectively protect the cold even with an inner layer with just the right amount of heat retention. It's true that it's advertised as a model that can be used for three seasons, so it can't be helped, but I was greedy and felt that it would have the ability to adjust the heat retention that can be used in a wider range of seasons depending on how it is used. You can wear only a jacket or vest while taking a break, and wear it with an inner vest. By the way, size L may be appropriate for ordinary men. Even though I'm a slim author, I was close to the size M (crying).
