This jacket is very light weight and is without the expected bulk of an insulating jacket, but it holds up in the coldest of weather! I live in Minnesota and it has kept me comfortably warm through windy temps from 15-45 degrees... We'll see how it holds up sub-zero, but so far I couldn't have asked for a better jacket!
I'm 5'8" with wide shoulders and the large is a perfect fit. Also LOVE the lavender color. I have received many compliments on the fit and style. It falls nicely on my hips and the sleeves are just the right length, although the shoulders do tug a little bit when I try to extend and bend my arm. The many pockets also make it very functional. I was a little weary at first of the outside hand pockets because they lack a zipper, but so far nothing has fallen out of them in normal wear. (when I fold it up and move it around, thats another story, but to be expected). All in all, this jacket is perfect and has quickly become my favorite.
