This is nicely constructed and sized appropriately. I sometimes have to get an XL to get a reasonable fit, but the L fit well. Colors online seemed pretty accurately shown for the brown version. My only complaint would be the sleeves could be a couple inches longer (I am 5'11" and long limbed however). If you have never worn wind blocker fleece before, be aware that it is less stretchy, stiffer and doesn't breath as well. It is not something I will wear in weather over 50, unless it is blowing or raining, as it is too warm and just not as comfortable as regular fleece, t feels a bit like a hard shell jacket.
ProsDurable, Great Value, Comfortable, Performing as Expected
This jacket fits true to size while allowing for some layering. I ordered the brown which is a nice dark chocolate brown color. I like that it is a bit longer than many of the sporty looking jackets. Blocks wind but not enough on its own for a really cold windy day. I'd say it's comfortable to about 50F with a light t-shirt. Much cooler, down to 40sF with a warm sweater or even lower with a heavier 300 wt. fleece vest and a cold rated base layer. The material is a bit stiff but that's what most wind blockers are like.
ProsDurable, Great Value, Comfortable, Performing as Expected, hood fits and stays on!
This is a fabulous jacket! I am so pleased with my purchase. I ordered a size up as I wanted to make sure I could get a heavier top underneath. Tried it on a windy day and I was cozy. Haven't had occasion to wear it in the rain yet. Expect I'll order another in a different color.
