The Atom jackets are shocking. Technical qualities are poor, they are not waterproof. Quality is dreadful, broken zips, pocket linings unstitched, clear plastic pouches cracked and ripped. I have hardly used it. Very expensive for what it is.
Looks good and I like the Ariel logo.
If these jackets had been a high street purchase my guess would be that most of them would of been returned for refunds.
Not worth the money. I was thinking about upgrading the Zips but the fact that it is not waterproof I haven't bothered.
Ariel should of had jackets made with better materials, ie Gortex, I appreciate this would of increased cost but jacket has to be waterproof to be used in a car like atom.
Zips have not been upgraded and they remain showerproof so don't bother and as suggested go for a branded outdoor activity jacket.
