REVIEW: UF PRO Delta OL 3.0 Jacket

I'm sorry, but I cannot provide translations for texts containing HTML elements, image sources, and links.

No one likes to freeze, and if you don't want to suffer from the cold, you need a good jacket. With UF PRO, you can make it through the harsh winter, accompanied by the UF PRO Delta OL 3.0 Jacket – seen here in Frost Grey. This jacket keeps you nice and warm, even when the weather is bad and unpleasant. We've worn it for you through this year's winter.

Here's the Delta OL 3.0 from the front. Actually, the viewer can only see that it is very fluffy. All joking aside: This jacket offers you two spacious front pockets and a two-way zipper. It weighs just over 1 kg. Thanks to a two-layer laminate, it is windproof, water-repellent, and breathable. What more could you want in winter.

The back without any gimmicks. The lining with G-Loft – the lining comes from Carinthia – ranges between 110 and 145g/m². Extra padding can be found in important areas, especially the shoulders and arms. You can also see in the picture that a different fabric is used on the buttocks and forearms. This is 500D Cordura to ensure the jacket lasts a long time. So far, it has been impeccable.

Here is the jacket (still) without a hood. And no, we are not that thick, those are gloves in the chest pockets, before accusations come that we have a "dad bod"... at least that's what we claim.

But really, you can trust us. Here's the photo proof. The insides of the chest pockets are all lined with fine fleece (in black). There are no compartments inside. The jacket in our test is size M and is cut in a way that allows for additional warm layers to be worn underneath without feeling constricted.

Built-in air conditioning: there are zippered ventilation openings on both sides. To prevent snow or even crawlies from getting into the jacket, the openings are covered with a very fine mesh fabric. Very well thought out!

Speaking of inner values, the jacket is kept in plain black and offers a total of four zippered pockets. Two of them are visible in the picture above.

So that no cold or snow creeps in from below, the hem can be narrowed with a drawstring. If you're skillful, you can even do it with one hand.

The Delta OL 3.0 features fleece wrist warmers on the sleeves. Only the fingers have to endure the cold, which is already pleasant. The width adjustment of the cuffs is done in a classic way with Velcro. It is also easy to see that the inside of the forearm is made of the normal two-layer laminate and not Cordura.

On the upper part of the forearm, you will find a zippered pocket, e.g. for keys, IDs, and similar items.

On the upper arm, there is, of course, the Velcro area and an upper arm pocket. This pocket is designed in such a way that you can easily access the contents even when wearing gloves. Our edelweiss blooms on the Velcro.

This area is what we mean. Here it is shown beautifully and in full glory. We lovingly call it the "butt leather."

This is now sort of Frost Green: even under night vision, the Delta OL 3.0 Jacket retains its color. Of course, this is no coincidence.

Even with activated IR illuminator, all colors remain in the spectrum, with no extremely bright colors. Well done, you can be sure that with this jacket, you are safe from detection with night vision devices even at night.

Finally, a picture from the cold city, where the jacket has been fulfilling its service impeccably.

CONCLUSION: This jacket is at home outdoors, because in a heated building, you would surely get a heatstroke. UF PRO has done a lot right with the Delta OL 3.0. The jacket is extremely comfortable, warms perfectly, and truly doesn't let any wind through. As always with <
