Cons: Zipper Puckers

Best Uses: Cold Weather, Casual Wear

Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer

Was this a gift?: No

The jacket is of perfect length as are the sleeves! I like that the cuffs have velcro straps, big plus. I am 5'10" and 260lbs and this jacket is great for someone my size but if you are any bigger I wouldn't get this jacket. The fabric doesn't have the same feel/softness as my well known branded softshell jackets but I cant say it feels cheap or anything. There isn't a draw cord on the bottom of the jacket but I have yet to be in such extreme weather to need it. Pitzips would have been a nice addition along with a napoleon pocket. The negative reviews are hard to agree with simply because unless this jacket is custom made to your body then there is no way to judge good or bad sizing. For me, the jacket fits great and maybe next fall/winter I will take it for a day hike to give it a better test.
