I got this jacket about a month ago, and LOVE it! I have worn it just about every day since I got it. I have had a denali fleece for a long time, but it tends to let the cold wind come through.I love that it's Wind-blocking, water-proof and zip-in compatible. Not as heavy as the tri-climate outer shell. It's warm enough to wear in the winter but cool enough to wear through the early spring! I can't recommend this jacket enough! (plus I love the color - brown with the chracoal grey inside and at the collar - it goes with everything!) Definitely one of the best puchases I have ever made.
