I've been wearing this jacket exclusively over two seasons in Portland, and it has been a great all round outerwear coat, but I have a few suggestions based on my extensive use of the jacket that would make it even better. 1) the seem along the shoulder, even when heavily waxed, allows rain and water in quickly and should be addressed, 2) the cuff, because it is solid, tears if caught---it there were some flexibility there it might not have torn, 3) the hood is pretty small---it's difficult for me to wear even fjallraven's thick beanie with the hood up (or at least it presses against my head in an uncomfortable way). Besides these minor points, I love the jacket and will continue to make my own repairs as needed.
