This thing is outstanding for extreme winter conditions... anything less and it's a bit too toasty. The windproofness muffles hearing somewhat, and the material could be a little softer, but it is extremely functional. I'll be saving it for the real extreme stuff.

Pros: Great water-resistence, totally stops the wind, great stretch ability, very stylish, good sleeve length for long-armed folk. Cons: A bit large around torso unless you're layering (which is good for cold weather) some bunching of material occurs under armpits, but maybe I'm just too skinny for the medium. Overall: Good for moderately cold weather, but in real cold stuff you'll want more insulation. A top notch soft shell!
