The Sago Zap Bike Jacket lives up to its name: ZAP! Describes the unique look of the jacket, especially at night, probably best. On the outer material are innumerable small, reflective points, which made of reflective materials can light up the entire jacket at nocturnal light incidence. These small, silver dots are also what give the Sago jacket a unique look and feel even during the day. As a safety clothing, this jacket can provide bikers safety. They are slightly elevated and easy to feel – that takes some getting used to, but does not feel cheap at all. The cut of the Sago Zap is undoubtedly geared more to athletic use, with an extremely long black, no hood, and a more body-conscious cut. Overall, the jacket is quite large and offers enough space for the second layer of clothing.
On the back, you will find the only pocket of the reflective jacket, which is centered and protected with a Velcro from moisture. It provides ample storage space for a Smartphone and the most necessary utensils while driving. However, those who like to store their household goods in their jacket pockets will hardly be happy with the Sago. Somewhat pity we find the waiver of vents, as it is under the Sago – as with any rain jacket – on longer trips like to be a bit sweaty. Another criticism is the cuffs: These are very wide and equipped with a simple rubber band. Who has thin forearms, has no way to provide here for a neat cuff and must even help with Velcro or the like.
Weather protection of the Sago Zap is good. The zipper sealed and also the contents of the back pocket remain dry during the ride. Problems made here, however, the too loose fitting cuffs, where the water can easily push past the inside of the jacket.
