The name of the new Majik all-weather jacket from Sugoi deliberately sounds like Magic: Sugoi praises the completely newly developed top model of the current fall collection with almost magical properties. Sugoi claims to have achieved several balancing acts between opposing requirements with the new jacket.

The core element of the Majik Shell is the fabric of the same name, which Sugoi has newly developed for this winter. The 2.5-layer laminate is waterproof up to a water column of 10,000 millimetres and also effectively blocks the wind. Nevertheless, the material is highly breathable (for fabric technologists: 3000gm/m2 for 24 hours). Unlike many other laminate fabrics, Majik is stretchy, which makes it noticeably more comfortable to wear, especially during sporty movements. To top it off, the fabric weighs only a little more than a breeze: the men's jacket in size L weighs just 290 grams. This means the jacket even fits in a trouser pocket.

In terms of workmanship, the jacket is made from high-end fabric. All seams have been additionally sealed with tape to prevent water from penetrating inside. All zippers on the Majik Shell are also waterproof. A soft scratch guard at the top of the zipper prevents chafed areas on the chin. Instead of a back pocket, Sugoi uses a Napoleon pocket on the chest, which can easily accommodate a wallet, a bunch of keys, a cell phone and a bar. Laminated 3M reflective dots on the back and sleeves ensure safety without straining the aesthetic eye too much.

The Sugoi Majik Shell is already available from specialist retailers as a men's model in five sizes. The Swiss importer Velok recommends a retail price of CHF 289.00
