In our case, the NORSKY fleece jacket from Nebulus was delivered together with other products in a sturdy shipping box. The shipping box was undamaged and could be easily opened with a knife or scissors. The shipping box was also optimally sized, as it was filled to the top. This protects the environment: not only is the amount of material required for the shipping box minimized, but the small space required by the package also ensures better utilization of the transport vehicles. The product packaging inside the box contained the NORSKY jacket , among other things. The product packaging consists of a transparent plastic bag in which the NORSKY fleece jacket was packed. The film is tear-resistant and non-stretchable. A Nebulus logo is printed on the front of the packaging. There is also a sticker with a barcode and the product name and size of the jacket. There are warnings on the back that the bag poses a choking hazard. The information is available in four languages, including German and English. The bag has an opening at the top, which is sealed with an adhesive strip on the film. The adhesive strip is reusable. If the fleece jacket is to be returned, the bag can be resealed with the existing adhesive strip. There is another layer of thin paper between the individual layers of the folded jacket to prevent the fabric of the fleece jacket from rubbing together during transportation. The tag on the zipper is also wrapped in thin packaging paper. The NORSKY fleece jacket is very well protected from damage and soiling by the shipping box and the plastic bag.

For our test, we received the NORSKY fleece jacket for men in the gray Antra mottled shade. In addition to this color, Nebulus also offers the jacket in six other colors. The mottled grey color of our test jacket is very elegant and gives it a subtle and timeless look.
The fleece jacket is made from a soft and comfortable fleece fabric that offers optimum comfort. The fabric is even and feels good against the skin. The front can be opened along the entire length with a zipper . The zipper is white, with a black tag attached to the opener. The jacket has two pockets on the front, which are positioned at stomach height .
The jacket has white seams, patches and lettering as a color contrast to the mottled grey base color. A coat of arms patch is embroidered on the left chest. The Norway flag is patched on the left shoulder. As a special extra, there is also a patch with the Nebulus lettering on the back of the fleece jacket. These colorful accents and patches add color to the gray base tone and create an interesting visual effect.
The jacket does not have a hood, but does have a collar. A second layer of fabric is sewn onto the inside of the collar. The fabric is the same shade of white as the zipper. This additional contrast to the mottled gray shade of the jacket and the white seams adds another subtle yet striking accent to the overall look .
The fabric of the fleece jacket is rather thin, slightly stretchy in a small area and tear-resistant. According to the manufacturer, the jacket is made entirely of polyester. The fabric is single-layered and the surface on the inside and outside is the same. However, this is not a disadvantage as the fleece feels good. The seams are all even and clean. There are hardly any protruding threads and, if there are any, they are only very short. Apart from this, the jacket has no other manufacturing faults.
Overall, the fleece jacket with white seams, the large number of patches and the design is a fashionable garment that is polarizing depending on the color, but always appealing. The quality of the fabrics and seams used and the overall finish are also impressive.
This is what our practical test showed

The NORSKY fleece jacket is sold in various sizes between S and 3XL. In our test , we received the jacket in M. The jacket in M fits our slim tester, who is 170 cm tall, like a glove. When the jacket is closed, it fits snugly on the body without being too tight or looking squashed from the outside. The length is also suitable and the jacket ends at the right height.
The jacket sits very comfortably even after long periods of wear. Although the jacket only consists of one layer of fabric, it keeps you warm. Instead of a hood, the NORSKY fleece jacket has a high collar made of thick fleece fabric. This is not too tight and fits comfortably around the neck.
As additional protection against the cold, the jacket has an adjustable elastic band at the bottom and at the sleeve ends. This effectively prevents the penetration of cold air from below, even during dynamic movement.
In the cold, the advantage of the independent belly pockets also becomes apparent: The pocket lies completely inside the jacket. This means that not only can hands be kept warm, but battery-powered devices such as cell phones can also be stowed inside. However, the pockets do not have a zipper. This means that there is a risk of something getting lost from the pockets.
The fleece jacket is significantly less warm when the zipper is open . The open front allows plenty of fresh air to reach the upper body. This allows the fleece jacket to be adjusted flexibly in terms of temperature .
In the last part of our practical test, we wash the fleece jackets according to the manufacturer’s instructions. For the NORSKY fleece jacket, this means an easy-care wash cycle at 30 °C, without drying and ironing at 110 °C, which corresponds to the usual specifications for comparable garments. Unfortunately, washing at 60 °C, as would be recommended after sporting activities or heavy soiling, for example, is not possible. After washing, the laundry smells of the detergent used, but otherwise there is no noticeable difference. The fleece jacket survives the washing process without damage or fading.
Overall, the NORSKY fleece jacket impressed us in our practical test. It is very comfortable, keeps you pleasantly warm and also withstands washing without any problems.
