Which should you buy?
Buy the Herno if you want a clean, dressy layer with technical panels that work under a coat or on their own. The extra $80 for the Palm Angels buys brushed cotton softness and the track-stripe styling people will clock, but it's a casual streetwear piece, not a technical one. Skip the Palm Angels if you need water resistance or a tailored fit. Choose by wardrobe: smart-casual function versus designer-streetwear signature.
