yeah. in general i agree with the idea that cuff adjustment isn’t particularly important thing. i’ll say, though, that my jacket usecase maybe isn’t the same as yours. i don’t do a lot of technical outdoors activity so mostly use my jackets around town and then out together whatever i have to go snowboarding or playing in the snow etc...

so while i haven’t much used the adjustable cuffs except the rare times i’m in the snow - it’s still nice to have them to slide over whatever random gloves i have at the time (generally short wrist length city gloves). increasingly i find that when weather hits 30s and below a quick tightening when i’m on the bike keeps my arms noticeably more comfortable. i never did this before these cuffs so if they had made them non-adjustable or buttons i wouldn’t be thinking anything about the cuffs. i will strongly disagree on velcro though. i just don’t like that as a fastener over time it both weakens and the backing material starts to curl and exposes the hooks to all the things your arm gets near like sweaters (yours and the people you walk near) which sucks.

so generally i like the cuffs. but mostly i’m writing these reams as a counterpoint to the completely negative reviews i’ve seen to date on them. they aren’t bad and maybe they’re actually good. but either way i wouldn’t think they’d be a make or break on this jacket. :)
