Trendy, but not for heavy outdoor use

Buy this coat if you want something trendy to wear indoors or maybe on a very calm fall day. It does very little to block wind or water, so the instant the weather goes south you'll be wishing you bought a Windwall 2 or Apex Bionic jacket.

It provides a decent amount of warmth; I find that on fall days I can wear it outdoors with just a long sleeve shirt and be fine. Indoors, wear just a t-shirt or you'll get too warm in it. The fitment is a bit looser than other TNF jackets so you can definitely layer with this. It might make you look fat, so I really suggest trying this on somewhere to test the size.

Avoid the black color if you have pets, as it shows every last hair and spec of dirt.

There are matching gloves, which is nice. The gloves don't do much to block wind or rain either.

Overall the coat is "okay". It's a trendy thing to wear, and offers enough warmth for indoor wear. I can't recommend it for anyone spending long periods outdoors, or for venturing outside in poor weather. Go for a Windwall 2 or Apex Bionic if you want a single multi-purpose jacket.
