Good jacket that runs true to size based on the sizing chart; for reference I'm 5'-6", 170 lbs, 40" chest, 32" sleeves, and 32" waist. It fits snugly (not in a bad way) and is warm, too warm for me to use in mid Fall regularly, only in early mornings when it is in the 40's. The jacket allows for full range of motion without binding. I intend to use this on really cold days as a mid-layer with a soft shell as the outer layer. It also does well as a stand alone jacket. The material is very soft, the Primaloft insulation is very warm, and the jacket is light. I don't plan to use this jacket until temperatures are in the low 40's degrees F. I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for a warm jacket that will not make you over-heat and feel sweaty by trapping the excess heat. I'll put out another review after spending a little more time with it this coming winter. I really like the zinc color (my best description is a blue/gray color).
