Description of Nomis Simon Signature Jacket - Men's:
Designed with help from Simon Chamberlain, the Nomis Simon Signature Jacket blends performance and function into a delicious tech/steeze smoothie. Huge snap-top cargo pockets stash everything from a spare beanie to a four-course lunch, and the Teflon-finished 10K waterproof-breathable face fabric makes melting snow nacho (as in, nacho problem). Stylistically speaking, you can't go wrong with the oversized plaid print and contrasting panels, and the custom embroidery hits upgrade the Simon Signature to first class in the tram.
Ok, so I followed the new product trend and bought this nomis jacket. I have always support nomis, and rock plenty of their gear. It seems like they spent a boatload of money on styling and colorways, but only spent a tiny amount on function and quality. Just touching the material you can feel it's a little chincy, and, for example, the velcro is low grade, and very poorly attached. the wrist gaiters are very thick and seem like they're designed to go on the outside of your glove, versus the inside, that's a big problem when you're shredding the steepy deepys. Some positive points about this jacket: Great style, and if you are tall, this is a phenomenal fit! I"m 6'1", and this thing came down to mid thigh. If you support nomis and you like to look fly in the park, this jacket is for you. If you ride 40+ days a year, I'd look into something a little more tech.
Its awesome.
Baggy, and comfy! Love the snowguard!
Only downside is the wristgaiters, theyre too bulky to get into any gloves w\o it looking weird. They do have a thumbhole, so i guess wearing them on the outside works too.
