Sometimes you get what you pay for

This jacket is a real beauty. I overheat easily and wanted a paddling jacket that I could open fully at the throat, and this is it. Nice fabric (breathes well so far), roomy cut, good details: hood rolls to form high collar with smooth fabric at chin, drawstrings at hood, waist and hem, reflective stripes, 2-tone "don't run me over" orange color (good for NYC waters), big pockets with handwarmers at correct height when sitting in boat. Full zip lets you put it on over a PFD without getting it stuck over your head. Would probably work well for skiing and hiking also. Looks like it will last a long time.
