Winter jacket GRAFFITY in test 2023

The GRAFFITY winter jacket from Nebulus made a very good overall impression in our test. The jacket is available in different colors and sizes for both men and women. It has a full-length zipper, a high collar and lockable pockets on the front. For our test, we received the jacket in black and blue for men and in green and black for women, both in size M . The fit proved to be very good in our case. Both the material quality and the workmanship were impressive, as was the performance of the jacket in the practical test. It turns out that the jacket fits comfortably for a long time, the smooth outer surface is extremely water-repellent and the lining keeps you pleasantly warm .

ℹ️ Here we take a closer look at packaging. Sustainability is becoming an increasingly important factor. In addition, adequate protection of the product must of course also be ensured.

The GRAFFITY winter jacket from Nebulus was delivered together with other products in a sturdy shipping box. The shipping box was undamaged and was easy to open with a knife or scissors. The box was also optimally sized and filled to the brim. This helps to protect the environment, as the amount of material required for the shipping box is minimized and the transport vehicles are better utilized. Inside the box was the GRAFFITY winter jacket in its product packaging. The product packaging consists of a tear-resistant and non-stretchable transparent plastic bag. The Nebulus logo is printed on the front of the packaging. A sticker on the packaging contains a barcode as well as the product name and the size of the jacket. On the back of the packaging there are multilingual warnings about the risk of suffocation from the bag, including German and English. The bag has a resealable opening on the top, which is provided with an adhesive strip . If the bag is returned, it can be resealed with the existing adhesive strip. There is a thin layer of paper between the individual layers of the folded jacket to prevent the material from rubbing during transportation. The GRAFFITY winter jacket is optimally protected from damage and soiling by the shipping box and the plastic bag.

ℹ️ Most people’s first impression after unpacking is immediately memorable. Are the contents of the package complete and does the manufacturer make it as easy as possible for me to use the product straight away?

As you would expect, the GRAFFITY winter jacket does not require any additional accessories and is delivered without them. There is a cardboard disc the size of a beer mat on the label, which is printed on both sides in high gloss with the Nebulus logo, which can also be found on the product packaging.
There are no instructions for use, but they are not required. Washing instructions can be found on a label on the inside of the jacket, where this is illustrated with the familiar symbols. There is also information on the material composition of the GRAFFITY winter jacket, the size and the product name.

ℹ️ Before we start the practical test, we take a close look at the product processing. How high quality are the materials used? Is the look and feel satisfactory?

The GRAFFITY winter jacket is a quilted jacket with row-shaped segments. These segments are filled with soft material. The outer and inner surfaces are made of a very fine, smooth fabric, which unfortunately feels somewhat synthetic. According to the manufacturer, both the fabric and the filling are made of polyester.
For our test , we received the winter jacket in black and blue for men and in green and black for women. The winter jacket is divided into two color sections : The collar, the inner lining, the underside of the arms and an approximately 7 centimeter wide strip of the upper body are completely in blue. The upper body area and the upper part of the sleeves, on the other hand, are black. These color combinations vary depending on the color selection. There are seven more color combinations for men to choose from, while women can only choose from five color combinations.
There is Nebulus lettering on the chest for decoration. There are Nebulus patches on the sleeves. The inside of the jacket is mostly blue. The front is closed with a blue zipper . To ensure that no cold gets into the inside of the jacket through the zipper, the jacket protrudes slightly on one side of the zipper, which provides additional insulation .
There are two pockets on the front of the jacket in the stomach area and one pocket in the chest area, all of which can be closed with zippers. The zippers are fitted with easy-to-grip pendants. The collar of the jacket has a hanger that makes it easy to hang on a hook.
The outer fabric of the jacket is relatively thin, non-stretchy and tear-resistant. The lining, on the other hand, is clearly noticeable and correspondingly thick. The seams are even and clean. There are hardly any protruding threads and if there are any at all, they are very short. Apart from this, there are no other visible manufacturing faults on the jacket.
Overall, the GRAFFITY winter jacket with its two colors and Nebulus patches is a discreet and fashionable garment. The quality of the fabrics used, the seams and the overall finish are impressive.

ℹ️ Our practical test is the most relevant and therefore the most important. Here, the product has to undergo a wide range of criteria and tests. We check the functions and product promises of the test article.

The GRAFFITY winter jacket is available in various sizes for men from S to 3XL. Sizes from S to XXL are available for women. For our test , we received the jacket in size M for men and size M for women. The jacket in M fits our tester, who is 170 cm tall, very well and even offers room for a few extra centimetres. The women’s model in size M also fits our tester, who is just over 1.60 m tall. The winter jacket fits comfortably on the body and is the right length so that it ends at the right height.
Even after being worn for a long time , the jacket still fits very comfortably. Thanks to its construction with two layers of fabric and the lining in between, it keeps you very warm, even though it is relatively light. When the zipper is closed all the way to the top, the collar fits snugly around the neck and reaches up to the head. The collar thus fulfills its function and effectively protects the neck from the cold. The pendant on the zipper also makes it easy to operate with gloves.
During our test, the belly pockets proved to be extremely useful. Unfortunately, there are no pockets inside. From our point of view, however, one would have been practical, for example to store valuables safely.
An ideal winter jacket should be water-repellent . We therefore tested the jacket by spraying the surface with water. This shows the advantage of the smooth surface: it proves to be extremely water-repellent. The water rolls off immediately and falls to the ground. The surface of the jacket does not absorb any water and remains dry, so that the inside remains comfortably protected.
In the last part of our practical test, we washed the winter jacket according to the manufacturer’s instructions. For the GRAFFITY jacket, this means an easy-care wash cycle at 30 °C without drying and ironing, which corresponds to the usual recommendations 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 jacket smells of the detergent used, but otherwise there are no noticeable differences. The jacket survives the washing process without damage or fading.
Overall, the GRAFFITY winter jacket impressed us in our practical test. It is extremely comfortable, keeps you extremely warm, is highly water-repellent and is also easy to wash.
