Backcountry.com Siphon Wool Hooded Jacket - Men's
No way is this for around town

I was excited for a nice wool layering piece that could do double duty as a nice looking jacket so I don't have to always wear a technical softshell. However, the collar on this thing is very poorly-conceived. It goes up to my mouth when zipped up fully, but is tight like a turtle neck; consequently, I would have had to leave it open down to the bottom of my neck constantly, which just makes it look like a silly fashion sweater for women. Also, the raw edge on the hood doesn't look so hot. I'm 6'0 175 lbs, and the fit was pretty slim, so keep that in mind. Overall good quality of construction, however, just a very impractical fit.
