Gear Review: Fila Men's London Waterproof Wind Jacket

If you are child of the 80's and 90's like me, you'll remember how popular Fila fashion and shoes were growing up. Fila has since grown to include an impressive line of golf clothing over the years, including their Men's London Waterproof Wind Jacket, new for 2013.

Men's London Waterproof Wind Jacket (Navy)

Made of 100% Polyester mechanical stretch and lining material, the Fila Men's London Waterproof Wind Jacket is both comfortable and durable in its design. The jacket features a mesh inner lining and a detachable hood, a microfleece lined mockneck, a kissing welt zipper front, self adjustable sleeve closure with velcro and front zipper pockets with microfleece lining.

The jacket also features Fila's memorable logo on a sleek metal tag on the front zipper.

I found the jacket to be extremely well-fitting, which allowed me to swing my golf club freely and without any restrictions during a recent driving range session. I even hit balls with the jacket's hood still attached, which was a non-factor with my backswing or follow-through. I did notice that the jacket's sleeves were a big wide near my hands, however the velcro straps around each sleeve cuff allowed me to adjust this issue quickly.

The Fila Men's London Waterproof Wind Jacket retails for $110.00, is available in four different colors and can be found on the company website.
