Bomber Jacket!

Got this jacket for a steal at $35 and could not be happier! I'm around 6ft 175lbs and the XL fits pretty wells and allows for a lightweight fleece underneath. I've worn this jacket with a only a fleece and a long sleeve shirt underneath and my core kept warm in -3 weather with a -20 windchill. The jacket is also incredibly windresistant/windproof, I've stuck my arm out of a car going 60mph and not felt any wind come through. I haven't been out in a downpour in it yet, so I can't really comment on how waterproof it is, but the DWR coating sheds snow like a champ. The neck cinch is a nice touch and it also has one internal chest chest pocket. The only thing I could other thing I could ask out of this jacket would be a velcro adjustment strap on the wrist.
