What to Compare Before Buying
- Fit: The listed fit is regular. Check the size 14 measurements and consider how the jacket fits over the layers you plan to wear.
- Weather protection: The outer has a DWR finish and is described as wind-resistant. No waterproof rating is given, so do not treat the finish as proof of waterproof protection.
- Hood fit: The hood is described as helmet-compatible. Check that its shape and adjustment suit your helmet and intended use.
- Weight: The 439 g figure applies to size 10. It should not be assumed to be the weight of size 14.
Compatibility, Size and Fit
Size 14 is the specified clothing size; the listing does not provide garment measurements for that size. Compare the fit against your own sizing needs, especially if you expect to wear insulating layers underneath. The 72 cm centre-back length is listed without a size reference, while the 439 g weight is stated for size 10; neither figure is confirmed as a size 14 specification.
Choosing the Correct Version
Check that the selected item is the Electron Pro in Steel and size 14. The model code given for this variant is QDB-82-STE-14. The listed down fill weight is 170 g; this is the insulation fill weight, not the total jacket weight.
Before You Decide
Confirm the size and colour, check how the regular fit works with your layers, and make sure the hood suits your helmet if you plan to wear one. Treat the stated size 10 weight as a reference, not a size 14 specification; the listed centre-back length has no stated size reference.
