This jacket works but needs some improving
Pros-
Collar is enormous, which when the wind gets blowing its very nice.
Great water resistance, and wind proofing
The jacket holds some warmth
Cons-
Layering potential is limited
Athletic cut, doesn't cover my front waistline, but tapers down in back
Huge collar looks ridiculous if you just wear it out.
It says underarm gussetts, which is basically like a thin fabric, under the arms, pit zips are far superior.
Very very tough fabric, would not want to "cuddle" with it
Itll get the job done, but there better jackets out there. Sent mine back
