At first glance I took this for a casual everyday jacket. After wearing it around I realized it's not just your ordinary dad jacket. The Heat Elite is no joke. It's surprisingly warm and extremely comfortable. For how technical it is it's a pretty good looking jacket as well. My own mother was shocked at how it made me look like an upstanding citizen. Bonus, the pockets are fleece lined and make my hands purrrrrr.
