I received this as a Christmas gift and am very pleased. I've never owned a soft-shell jacket and am very surprised at how warm they are compared to the heavier fleece jackets I normally wear. Great freedom of movement, especially around the shoulders, and a very nice cut for a fitted jacket. If you're in the market for a good soft-shell, this is you're best bet.
I was very pleasantly surprised buying this jacket only from the catalog. It fits well. I love the material; it's got the warmth of fleece but is water resistant so that going out in a light rain, I still get the benefit of its warmth and don't absorb the water unlike regular fleeces. Nice pockets inside for storing small stuff (including a light cap for cold days). All in all, I'm very pleased with it.
I bought this jacket for my 13 yr old son who doesn't like to wear heavy coats. He really likes the light weight and look of it. If he is happy, then I am happy!
