Everything I wanted.

Ranked #121 - Men's Synthetic Insulation Jackets

Great jacket! Warm, comfortable, the materials are really nice. I like the outer fabric, it has a subtle texture to it so it doesn't look shiny like some other waterproof materials do. Lots of pockets for just about everything, and the chest zipper is perfect. I can reach in to use my ipod or grab my phone without having to unzip the main zipper and let all of that cold air in. The handwarmer pockets are nice and deep too.
After reading all of the reviews, I bought a size Large. At 6' 2", 220lbs, it fits perfectly. The powder skirt actually comes just below my butt, instead of riding up like other jackets usually do. Good length and room for me, makes me wonder who would actually fit an XL. I guess if you're very tall or the super-baggy type, that's the way to go, but really, this jacket is plenty big enough for me.
