Nike and Adidas Jackets

[Deleted member 25923]

I had a question about sizing and material for Adidas and Nike jackets. Specifically the Adidas men's spring court jacket and the Nike n98 jackets.

What size would you recommend for someone like me? I typically wear MD shirt size, but can fit in some small shirts (some are too short though). I'm usually wearing Medium comfortably. I own an Adidas zip top warm up kind of jacket in large size, and it fits alright, but a tad big. Would the Medium of the Nike and/or Adidas be good, or is large recommended?

Also, in terms of material, is the Adidas jacket almost like a windbreaker? Like a stiffer material? And would you say the Nike is softer, almost like the feel of a tracksuit or shorts?

Thanks!

If you wear medium tennis tops, I would recommend mediums for both jackets. I think he Nike will be more of a "trim" fit than the adidas jacket so that is also something to consider.

The Nike jacket is more of a track suit material, and the adidas is more of a traditional tennis warm-up. It's lighter weight and a woven material. It's not as thick as a lot of windbreakers, so I wouldn't call it stiff, though.

I see. What exactly is meant by trim fit?

I find that Nike tops and jackets have a slimmer fit, while I think adidas men's tops/jackets in the Barricade/Competition and Response Court lines have a looser, wider cut.
