Chrome Marysia Jacket

In our gear-ified world full of hidden pockets, headphones built into collars, and coolers integrated into backpacks, it’s nice to have something that doesn’t take an owner’s manual to operate. That’s exactly what Chrome has created with their lightweight woman’s Marysia jacket. It’s water repellent and wind resistant, and it does both of those tasks admirably well. And…that’s about it…which is precisely the beauty of the jacket. The all-black 100 percent Polyester plain-weave fabric is Teflon-treated to ensure you arrive at your destination dry and warm.  Two hand pockets have snap closures for easy, on-the-fly access, and the deep pocket at the center of the back is big enough to fit a cell phone, a set of keys, or a wallet (larger items are naturally relegated to your pack). A drawstring at the hem proffers a tighter fit in more severe weather, the high collar can snap up against the elements, and longer sleeves and torso round out the cycle-friendly elements. Built especially for women, the cut is as flattering as the jacket’s subdued overall aesthetic.  The red burst of the Chrome logo stitched outside the left pocket announces that you’re in on the secret.
