After misplacing my REI Muir Woods jacket worn every chilly day from last year, it was time to buy another lighter weight / everyday kind of jacket. After owning this jacket for a few weeks, it's every bit as warm as my previous jacket with WAY less bulk.
At 6'3, 165 lbs, the Large seems to fit me pretty well. It's a bit loose so if i decide to gain a little weight this winter I should be fine. The bottom of the jacket is nice and long and covers all my butt if needed. Sleeve length is about perfect, though with my long arms, there is a bit of pressure on my hand if using the thumbholes - hopefully they'll stretch out a bit and I'll be fine. Though I have yet to use the hood part much, when zipped it fits great as well.
There are no mountains in Nebraska for me to climb so this was for an everyday work/home jacket. I am not the type to have people comment on my clothing, but in the short time I've had it I've gotten a few positive comments from people asking where I'd gotten it. The black color is pretty sick and while it picks up a little lint here and there is no where near as bad as the Muir Woods jacket that I had to specifically buy a lint roller for.
