I was looking specifically for a component jacket that I could buy with both pieces, and I did a lot of research - i looked at North Face, Columbia, even LL Bean and Lands End! I wanted it to be both very warm and the outer shell very waterproof, but without loosing the attractiveness of the jacket. I was sold on this one because of the attractive interior layer. I bought this in the Blue, and I LOVE the inner jacket. The outer jacket does its job too, but I always get compliments when I wear that light blue jacket around. I'm 5'9 and curvy, and I have very long arms, but I was pleasantly surprised that the jacket fit very well - the sleeve length was almost perfect and it has a flattering flair shape through the body that made my curves look nice instead of big and boxy (however, the waist isn't fitted). Nonetheless, I am SO happy with this jacket and I would definitely recommend it. I'm currently in Asheville, NC and its 30 degrees right now with a chance of snow, so this jacket is being put to the test! And I will definitely say, it's passing with flying colors.
