The cardigan looks good, is very thick and warm. In combination with the thick inner lining, it keeps you nice and warm even on colder days. The fact that the hood can be removed is also practical. However, the jacket is not windproof, so it is only partially suitable for cycling in winter without a windbreaker. The jacket is quite heavy, but this does not detract from its comfort. It smells a bit strongly of wool, especially if you`ve been out in the rain with it on. I don`t mind the smell, but someone with a sensitive nose might feel differently.
