Buffalo Atlas Jacket

Good chunky jacket for commuting, and general getting about. Not a style icon. Had my jacket for 2 years.

They are solid jackets, with plenty of padding, no complaints on the protection side. With the removable winter lining added, the jacket is ok for autumn, but you need to wear an extra fleece in the depths of winter.

Twiddly bits tended to be optional in the long term - zip handles break away - you become very dextrous without them; extra straps of uncertain purpose come away; the stitching around the inner lining, by the inner breast zip pocket, undoes after constant wear - meaning your phone and wallet end up by your bum in the lining every now and then, not in the pocket; The stitching of the outer pockets does comes away somewhat, to leave the outer pocket flapping.

However, the jacket is still warm and usable even with all these 'modifications'.

Not sure I would buy another, because of the quality of the stitching, but to be fair it is still doing its job.
