This jacket is chock-full of technical details like the waterproof zips, pit vents, and zip-removable hood and powder skirt. The appearance screams high quality and the logo embroidery on the front is subtle and tasteful. Other reviewers have already mentioned the tech specs but I would like to reiterate the value you are getting for the price paid. This is a superior softshell jacket that repels outside moisture while remaining breathable and offers plenty of adjustability of the hood (2 way) and hem. I am 5'9", 160 lbs and I ordered a medium. The fit is impeccable, with a deliberate cut that offers a bit more protection for your bottom. As mentioned, there is a bit of extra room in the midsection, but where else would I put my beer belly? At 40% off, this jacket is a STEAL. GO FOR IT!
