bergleben.de rated it a purchase tip.
RESULTS:
Comfort: 7 out of 10
Features: 9 out of 10
Breathability: 8 out of 10
Insulation: 9 out of 10
Water resistance: 8 out of 10
Value for money: 9 out of 10
TESTER VERDICT:
With the Black Range, Jack Wolfskin presents the classic outdoor and trail jacket from their collection. It achieves a good balance of water resistance and breathability, but does not quite muster the comfort of a soft shell.
Good: The hood can be detached or stowed in the hood pocket.
Summary: Not a high-end designer jacket, but a typical autumn trail jacket with all the features necessary for more "senior" customers.
