Oiselle Katron Jacket

Katron Jacket Review

Has anyone out there searched high and low to find something so specific that it becomes impossible to find?  This was the case for me in regards to a down jacket.  I was looking for the standard black, it needed to be somewhat form fitting, dressy enough to wear with some of my work clothes, have a hood, be water resistant, and have thumbholes.

I looked at all the sports stores that I know of that have good quality clothing I like.  I found some that were close, but after reading reviews each one was always missing atleast one thing that I wanted.  Let’s be real, for the amount of money a down jacket costs one has to be diligentJ.  I happened to have a meeting at Pace Running Store (for work and pleasure), and saw a clothing line that I’ve not used before.  The name of the company was Oiselle.  There clothing was extremely soft, and I can only imagine how nice it’d feel to work out in.  The problem is, I HAVE A TON OF WORKOUT CLOTHING.  I didn’t have any reason to buy one of their products there, but it did get me interested enough to check out their website for jackets.

Low and behold I found THE PERFECT (for me) jacket that I’d been looking for.  The Katron jacket.  katron-jacket-black-f_1_6This jacket had everything I wanted and then some.  The only problem, Denise Bryson at Pace Running Store (Travelers Rest, SC) didn’t have the jacket.  I gave her a call and told her what I was looking for and how I’d found it online, and not only did she order it for me she made sure the fit was good and got it to me in a couple days!

I can’t say enough about the jacket, it keeps me warm but not too warm.  The thumbholes are AWESOME and invisible when you aren’t wearing them.  There are inside pockets w/spots for headphones, handy outside pockets big enough for my Iphone, there’s a back pocket the jacket can fold up into, the hood is detachable if you don’t need it, and the fit is phenomenal.  The one and only drawback is the fabric guarding the inside of the zipper does get stuck if you don’t pull it back.  I believe this is a small complaint considering all the other perks and goodies it has.  Oh, it’s machine washable too.

P.S.  I purchased this jacket, and was not given it.  I just liked it so much I thought I’d review it for you.
