Notes	The black outer fabric is a 2-sided softshell, with regular black fleece on the inside. The lining is the same black fabric as the 4966 jacket. Lightweight, waterproof and windproof. I lengthened the vest part by 5 cm and that's a good thing because I had to shorten the hem and collar by a total of 6 cm. I measured several times during sewing that the center front is the same length as the vest part. Well, it wasn't.It's a shame because I would have liked a higher collar, now the wind gets in. The hem rises from the back for some reason when the backpack is on. Maybe the hip belt would have saved me from this. I sewed piping on the pockets, but I didn't think about this until the end. It was challenging to get the inside to look nice. But I wanted them to be the same as the sleeve seam. Otherwise, it turned out to be a really nice jacket.
