When To Wear It
With several other softshells that we have featured in our reviews, we strived to pick those that could pass as casual and everyday jackets, too. However, there comes a moment when you need a good sports jacket, which is why we have chosen Tangata.
It is a high-performance softshell that is designed for a variety of different sports and activities. Whether you are into running, or enjoy hiking and more challenging sports, this jacket fits right in.
It comes with specifically designed sleeves and it is part of the Platinum 4000 series. The outer shell gives it considerable weather resistance and it is also highly durable against environmental conditions.
There is a stand-up collar, which is high and comes with a removable hood, that can easily be adjusted with drawcords. The main zipper is full-length and water-resistant, despite being uncovered.
The cuffs are adjustable with Velcro fasteners and the bottom hem can be adjusted with drawstrings placed inside.
Looks-wise, it has the typical sportive look and it comes with the brand’s logo on the left side of the chest.

Material
This jacket comes in two layers. The outer shell is made of 96% Polyester and 4% Spandex. It offers elasticity, while maintaining weather-resistance and durability.
The inner layer is a combination of fleece and mesh lining. Specifically, the fleece lining is on the back and the mesh to the front. This combination and placements keeps the back and shoulders warm, while the mesh allows air flow and increases breathability.
User Reviews, Feedback & Opinions
This jacket doesn’t have a crazy amount of online reviews, but there are enough for you to make an informed decision.
Reviewers are quite pleased, first and foremost, with how good this jacket looks. The colors are beautiful and the workmanship is top notch.
Good jacket. “CREW” written on the back of the neck is awkward. And the only reason why I decided not to buy the jacket. Also, on the jackets I looked at (In #1 Barcelona) The print on the front was loose/ starting to come off. So it might be a quality issue? On the other side, it might be a positive sign that the “CREW” writing on the neck can easily be removed (?) All in all, I regret not buying it, as I now have to add shipping to the price
