Attribute deep dive

We break down what drove each score so you can weigh trade-offs.

Quality Analysis 70/100

This Max Mara "The Cube" jacket, made from 100% polyester shell, offers good durability for everyday wear. The mid-weight, non-stretchy fabric suggests a robust construction, while the adjustable hood adds a practical touch.

Comfort Assessment 60/100

This jacket is designed for a loose fit, which can contribute to comfort by allowing for ease of movement. However, the non-stretchy fabric and 100% polyester shell might feel less comfortable for active wear compared to garments with stretch or more breathable materials.

Sustainability Impact 60/100

This jacket is made from 100% polyester, a conventional fossil-fuel synthetic, which indicates a negative impact on sustainability.
