Thought I was getting a fleece jacket, and it was, partially on the inside. I like the coziness of fleece on inside and out. This jacket is smooth on the outside, and the pockets liners on the inside decrease the fleece coverage on the inside. I am sure buyers will love this if that is what they wanted. Returned.
I was hoping this would be the perfect warm enough and not too warm jacket for a Texas winter. The arms were a little snug and the length was too short. On me it came just to my waist. Not long enough to keep drafts out. The quality of the material seemed very good and design was attractive but the fit just did not cut it.

Pathfinder jacket

ProsDurable, Great Value, Comfortable, Performing as Expected
Love this jacket! For the Pacific Northwest, it's perfect -- warm out in the fall Gorge winds, and the material is not only comfortable, but water resistant. Have to love that for this area! And the coastal blue is a gorgeous color! : )
I really love this jacket and have high hopes for a go-to in cooler weather with sunshine. It is wonderfully light weight and really blocks the wind (which I love). It's a good length also. My only drawback is that the sleeves are a bit tight at my elbows (which I found odd). Driving is a bit uncomfortable which is a drawback. I hope as I continue to wear this jacket, this will stretch out.
