This is one nicely made jacket. Suberb craftsmanship and looks great: the compliments just roll in. And of course Powershield is the best softshell material for use in the mountains; cuts wind and light to moderate rain beads up nicely.
The fit is not quite as snug as I feared, somewhat similar to MEC softshells and looser than Ibexwear. I usually wear L, and sometimes XL; the XL fits me with sufficient room to use this for casual wear as well as in the hills.
The sleeve pocket is not something I will likley use often, but others might find it handy. I can't think of anything negative to say.
Great gear Ibex!
