Optical Illusion Raingear

Hooded Mackinaw Jacket Appears Demi From a Distance

When I saw the Hooded Mackinaw jacket from Mountain Research I had to stop and take a closer look. The 2009 version of the Hooded Mackinaw jacket comes in two tones, but the colors are severely cut horizontally. As a result the jacket appears belly-grazing in the photos from a distance.

Considering that Mountain Research made this jacket for men, I’m not sure that’s a good thing. But here it is anyway. The Hooded Mackinaw 2009 jacket comes in three color combinations: beige/orange, beige/red and beige/blue.
