Just because you’re willingly standing in the freezing cold doesn’t mean you deserve to be miserable. Yes, the BCKR Warm One Insulated Jacket is designed to keep you plenty toasty, but that’s not the only trick up its sleeve. Here are five additional bragging points that are as subtle as they are valuable.
1. The two-way zipper
The center front zipper is a two-way YKK zipper. Why is this useful? Have you ever had your jacket puff way out in front when you sit down? With a two-way zipper, you can move both sliders up the track from the bottom and adjust the jacket so it rests perfectly while you’re seated. One note on two-way zippers: to zip the jacket up from the bottom, both of the sliders need to be all the way at the bottom of the zipper, or it can be hard to get it started. It may take a little practice.
2. It packs into its own hood
Did you wonder why the cord on the back of the hook has a little hook on it? That’s our compact storage solution. Lay the coat flat on a table, facing up. Fold in the arms and sides to the width of the hood. Starting at the bottom roll the jacket up until you get to the hood, then tuck the jacket body into the hood. Lastly, take that elastic cord with the hook and wrap it around the body and hook it on the little loop. It’s a perfect little jacket roll, ready to be carried or thrown into a pack.
3. The hand warmer pouches
There are small pouches inside each of the front hand pockets and on the inner liner in the back of the jacket. These pouches are positioned to hold up to four hand warmers in the perfect places for a comfortable game day. The rear pouches are positioned to be near your kidneys, which will help keep your core warm in frigid conditions. The front pocket pouches will keep your mitts toasty and your pockets uncluttered, two big plusses in our book. For our recommendations on our favorite hand warmers, please see our reviews.
4. The keychain clip and lens cleaning cloth are removable
The built-in lens cleaning cloth and keychain clip are two of the fan-specific features of the Warm One. Losing your keys in a giant stadium is the worst, only slightly ahead of having smudged glasses when you’re trying to watch the game. To make both of these features even more useful, we added small little buckles so you can clip and unclip each. This will let you hand your cleaning cloth or keys to your buddy then secure them safely back in place.
5. The secret Bluetooth tag pouch
Have you ever tried to meet up with a friend in a sold-out stadium, ten minutes before kickoff? Us too. That’s why we added a discreet little Bluetooth tracker pouch on the rear inner seam. Pop your tag of choice in there and share your location with your friend and you’ll be able to meet up with plenty of time left to get to your seat for the hype reel.
