Good jacket if used with layers...

I really liked the look and feel of this jacket. It's great for stopping the wind and keeping you warm for temperatures above freezing. It has an athletic fit, so I had to order a size larger than usual. The sleeves are pretty long; for me they went to about the end of my pinky finger. My main issue with it is it's lack of insulation and warmth. With 20-30 mph wind gust and wind chill around 20 degrees with a buttoned up flannel and t-shirt, I was pretty cold. It doesn't work well alone as a late fall, early spring jacket. It would also be nice if the hood was detachable or able to roll up in the collar, along with more pockets. Overall with decent layering, this is a pretty good jacket.
