Cloudveil Koven Plus- http://www.cloudveil.com/backroom/mens/jackets/koven+plus+jacket--CV04601/

Excellent jacket, clean, well constructed. Excellent hand-feel, Great fit and unique features. 2 very large hand pockets, one chest pocket, one sleeve pocket by hand. Internal pocket on opposite side of chest pocket!, two decent sized mesh stow pockets. Strech EV3 and Schoeller C-Change fabric. Fixed hood. strategically placed 100wt fleece on back and chest areas. two Passive internal vents at shoulders- allows heat exchange- nothing open and completely wind proof.



Wish List: Higher collar- same as above

I wish the did away with the Zipper flap on the front of the jacket.



What I like:

fantasitc, innovative materials, soft- slightly stretchy (2-way) EV3 fabric in key areas, Schoeller C-Change materials are very cool and actually work. Very soft and very quiet! feels like a comfortable pair of jeans.



chin area is fleece lined! Zipper is covered from inside and not an issue- very soft.



Strategically placed 100wt fleece in back panel and chest.

vents on top of shoulders-meshbacked thin panels allow heat and moisture exchange)-h20/wind proof

Two-way front zipper.

Pockets are well thought-through and functional- with the exception of the sleeve pocket.

Hood works very well and can be cinched up and partially rolled. fits over helmet well with one complaint (see below)

Great cut to the jacket, covers butt well and is bit lower in front which I like.

Clean and funtional.

Not everyone has it.



What I don't like

No need for the front zipper flap

Hood is great but to put it up over helmet, you need to partially unzip. Once on, it won't fly off in breeze.

Sleeve pocket- down by hand, not really funtional, Ski pass can be scanned through in very limited resorts but what else does anyone use for? (Please don't say maps...)

Cloudveil Koven Plus-

 

Excellent jacket, clean, well constructed. Fabric is softshell softness and stretch and feel with durability and performance of hardshell, Great fit and unique features.  2 very large hand pockets, 1 chest pocket, 1 sleeve pocket by hand. two decent sized mesh stow pockets. Cloudburst EV3 (dermazax) and Schoeller C-Change fabric. Fixed hood. strategically placed 100wt fleece on back and chest areas. two Passive internal vents at shoulders- allows heat exchange- nothing open and completely wind proof.

 

Wish List: Higher collar would be nice to avoid need for neck gaitor in real cold.

 

Get rid of the Zipper flap on the front of the jacket.It can be placed on the inside like on the RPK parka.

 

What I like:

fantastic, innovative materials, soft- slightly stretchy (2-way) EV3 fabric in key areas, Schoeller C-Change materials are very cool and actually work. Very soft and very quiet! feels like a comfortable pair of jeans.

 

chin area is fleece lined! Zipper is covered from inside and not an issue- very soft. (not just over zipper)

 

Strategically placed 100wt fleece panels on internal back and top of chest.

 

Vents on top of shoulders-meshbacked thin panels allow heat and moisture exchange)-h20/wind proof 

 

Two-way front zipper.

 

Pockets are well thought-through and functional- with the exception of the sleeve pocket.

 

Internal chest pocket is on opposite side of external chest pocket- this is a much better desing than putting both internal and external chest pockets on same side.

 

Hood works very well and can be cinched up and partially rolled. fits over helmet well with one complaint (see below)

 

Great cut to the jacket, covers butt well and is bit lower in front which I like.

 

Clean and funtional.

 

Not everyone has it.

 

What I don't like

 

No need for the front zipper flap

 

Hood is great but to put it up over helmet, you need to partially unzip. But once on, it won't fly off skiing.

 

Sleeve pocket- down by hand, not really funtional, Ski pass can be scanned through in very limited resorts but what else does anyone use for? (Please don't say maps...)
