Gear Review - Merrell Flux Jacket

Merrell Flux Jacket

Last week I posted a gear review for a Merrell rain jacket. We all know Merrell for their shoes, but now that they’rebeefing up the Merrell apparel line people are stopping to take a look.

The Flux jacket makes for a great toasty layer when it’s chilly out. Throw on a quick dry under shirt, the Flux, and a shell and you’re ready for any of the nasty conditions mother nature can throw at you.

The Flux also works especially well for the techie members of the family. It boasts an inner and outer pocket for that new PDA or MP3 player you’ve got on the list to Santa this year.

Last but not least this jacket actually looks good enough to wear out to get drinks with the in-laws or the boss. It has a tailored design so it sweeps in to hug your body and keep you warm while looking fashionable at the same time.

You can get this guy in black, brown or orange.
