This coat was purchased as a last minute addition to my So UT trip in Nov. My 20 year old Marmot shell was loosing it's water resistance as well as the velcro on the cuffs.
It is a great combo of cold weather protection with a low profile status. I love the way it covers my neck and wrists (The thumb loops are a fun addition!). I didn't give the skirt much of a test run because I wasn't hiking through any snow.. The pockets are great, lots of them and various sizes.
The sizing seems appropriate. I ordered a Med and it fit just like I wanted it to.
Overall, I'm really happy with the coat. I'd recommend it! =)
