Nice Jacket, but...

There are a lot of things to love about this jacket: great softshell feel, great color (Chili/Retro Red), all the bell & whistles (zip off powder skirt & hood, good pockets). Price is right. However, I ended-up returning it for two reasons: 1) the medium was just a little too long for my 5'8" frame (probably perfect for someone that's 5'10" or 5'11"), and 2) there was an annoying "bump" right in the middle of the jacket (along the zipper line) that was likely caused from being folded in half for a long period of time.
Obviously, I can't speak to it's waterproofness, breathability, or durabilty since I never took it outside. But is seems very well constructed (solid) and feels nice and durable. I have no doubt this coat would serve you well.
