Quality Jacket

The reviews for this coat are on target:
Pros -
-Excellent wind-stopping ability
-Good, athletic fit
-Soft material
Cons -
-Pockets are high cut, a little uncomfortable
-Obnoxious chest logo
-External chest pocket is awkward. I wish the Napoleon pocket was on the outside.
-Not nearly as warm as some reviewers suggest. Keeps out the wind, but isn't super-insulative.
-Neck could be a litle tighter. I have a big neck relative to the rest of my body. Even so, when fully zipped up, the collar still isn't snug against my skin.
Overall, a recommended jacket, with a few acceptable drawbacks.
