The son of Odin and the giantess Jord, Thor had a fairly successful career as a god. Later, when the Renaissance bloomed and all the credibility went out of the mythology biz, Thor was forced to begin casting about for something to do. As an immortal, time held little meaning for him, and so he pondered his next move for a few centuries. Eventually, of course, motorcycles were invented and Thor figured this was his opportunity. He started a company making gear and clothing for off-road riders, and still gets to use his hammer for testing out new products and materials for durability and strength.
Okay... not really.
The Phase jacket has some nice features. Exhaust vents on the upper back help keep you from overheating. The front zip is a two-way affair, handy if the jacket is a little long on you when in riding position. Both sleeves zip off and can be stored in the rear cargo pocket. It comes with pre-curved elbows, and this is helpful if you wear elbow protection under your jacket. If it's seriously cold outside, the jacket has a bottom drawstring that can be tied to block outside air. The collar and pockets are lined with fleece for comfort, and the cuffs have adjustable Velcro gaiters. Made from 1000 denier Cordura, it should hold up well against abrasion and tearing. You can get it in black, blue, or red.
Thor calls this jacket "water repellent". According to the forums I've read and from personal experience with another brand, just assume this means: if it rains, you'll get wet (keep in mind that waterproof jackets don't breathe as well, if at all). Also mentioned were fit and sizing issues -- as with any apparel selection, it's best to try it on before you buy it.
