Great Fit, Poor Quality

While this is the most comfortable, versatile, and form fitting jacket I have ever owned, it is also the most poorly constructed jacket I have ever owned. I am on my third jacket in as many years, having returned both the first jacket purchased as well as its replacement due to worn nylon and failing stitching. I have babied the third one wearing it only out to dinner and with limited washing and the stitching is already failing. If you are looking for a everyday, go-to jacket that will stand up to anything more than once monthly wear, look elsewhere.

Fits Tight

I’ve had this jacket for a bit over a year and the inner part of the neck (when zipped to the top) is pulling and wearing. As well, the jacket fit very tight across the upper chest, shoulders.

Stylish & Comfy

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great jacket. Would say it runs a little on the big side. I’m 5’8” with broad shoulders and typically wear medium. Went with medium based on sizing chart.

Great Fit And Function But Really Poor Durability.

This is one of the nicest cut jackets I've ever owned. It's surprisingly functional and technical in the cold, wind, and wet and also very breathable. I wear it to the office a lot because it dresses up really well too. However, I'm on my second jacket and both times, within 1 season of wearing it, the material on the inner neck has started to pull and wear. I really hope they fix this, because other than that, I'd definitely keep this as a staple piece in my closet.

A Very Good Daily And Mid Layer

After losing a lot of weight and never really having a nice jacket, I decided I would finally make an meaningful investment for this winter - and many more winters to come. I was shocked and impressed at the light weight of the jacket. The insulating properties are average for this type of jacket. I live in Florida. However. during the winter, our temperatures at night can easily and consistently be 30 and 40 degrees F, in January (about 0 - 4 C, for the rest of the world that uses 'science numbers'). If active, per the temperatures I listed above, no layering may be needed. Though, I typically wear a shirt and then my HH fleece at the mid layer, for this mid-layer jacket. My only two gripes are minor in nature. The sleeves tend to be about 25mm too long. However, maybe by design this is intended. I am not sure. When I wear one or two items below the jacket, the extra length of the arms is no longer an issue. Without the extra layers, the sleeves almost roll into the base of my palms. This can be dangerous in certain applications. My last gripe - and the most annoying thing - about the jacket is the YKK zipper. I've used YKK zippers in this past. This is consistently the worst experience with a 'quality' zipper I've ever had. It's extremely hit-or-miss, per se. The male-end of the sipper simply will not align into the open ends of the two zippers, sometimes. I can literally try ten times to create proper alignment for zipping. Other times, I can align the male-end to the open sides of the zipper with no isssue(s). But at least eighty percent of the time, I am spending at least twenty or thirty seconds to properly align all the elements to crate a successful zipping pattern. Despite those issues, this is almost the best jacket I have purchased. Below, I'm 5' 6'' / 168 cm. Weight is 145 pounds / 65.7 kg Waist is 29'' / 73.6 cm Chest is 36'' / 91.4 cm
