Cubed Travel Jacket Review: The Ultimate Travel Jacket is Here

Travel gear company Clothing Arts, famous for their pickpocket-proof designs, has launched the ultimate year-round jacket.

Cubed Travel Jacket Review

Price and Where to Buy the Cubed Travel Jacket: The Cubed Travel Jacket is available for pre-order (shipping September 1) for $380 on Clothing Arts’ website.

How the Cubed Travel Jacket Rates:

  • Usefulness: 10/10. The jacket is lightweight, but works for every season, thanks to its trademarked performance membrane fabric, which is both waterproof and breathable. It’s also windproof, so it will protect  you in even the worst conditions. The waterproof hood can be quickly removed or attached, and adjusts to fit your head snugly. The waist and wrist openings also cinch for a custom fit (and to help keep water and wind out). The two front chest pockets can be accessed from the inside or the outside, and the bottom four interior pockets (which are large enough to fit a passport or other bigger items) are secured with patent-pending security clips to keep them inaccessible to anyone but you. The interior pockets are hidden, which helps the jacket keep its sleek look.
  • Value: 6/10. The price is definitely higher than most jackets, but The Cubed Travel jacket is made by hand, and it will work for you in rain, snow, and wind, so you can wear it anywhere you go.
  • Durability: 10/10. From the zippers to the stitching, this is a very well-made jacket. Everything is carefully constructed, so you won’t find any stiff zippers or stray threads here.
  • Cool Factor: 10/10. The jacket comes in black, dark blue, and slate grey. It’s fashionable enough to wear every day, but also performs well enough to wear hiking.

Final Verdict: If you want to replace all of your jackets with one that you can take anywhere, the Cubed Travel jacket is worth the splurge.
