Things I love: 1) I am 6'6" tall 230 lbs...the XL fits in every way and leaves a little room underneath for a base layer and a medium weight fleece...if you're built slim, you can go down a size it is not an overly slim fit; 2) it looks great; 3) it is surprisingly warm...not an insulated layer but windproof and warm...I just got inside from playing with my kids outside sledding in windy Vermont 5 degree weather and was warm. Wouldn't work if I was sitting around in the shade; 4) great pockets etc; 5) it is well made; 6) Did I mention it looks great. In addition to the fact that I love it, I had a great experience with Backcountry.com customer service. They helped me pick this one out from among the dozens and dozens of softshells in their catalog. Paid a few bucks more than a competitor but the customer service was worth every penny.
