Offwidth is a bit off base.

Normally, I love MH products The majority of my outdoor arsenal is MH. However, this jacket appears to be doing a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde bit. The 4-way stretch fabric is perfect, fits snugly but isn't constricting in any way. Pockets, same story. Then we come to the hook and loop sleeve constrictors, which are fashioned from spring steel and take several of your burliest friends to prise them loose. The collar is another point of contention. It is on a constant mission to do battle with my chin. Try as I might to get it to lay properly, it pops up like a clown bop bag. The jacket has since been returned.
