I live in Minnesota and love this jacket. It's not bulky at all, pockets are situated at an angle that I can actually use them, it can hold my Ipod and it keeps me warm!
Great item. I bought it to travel to Australia...a 20 hour plane trip...looked as great when I got off the plane as it had when I got on. Good for layering in cold weather and with tee in spring and fall. I will buy more in other colors.
Not too heavy, comfortable to move around in and washes well. It needed to be laundered a couple of times before the little "fuzzies" on my t-shirt and pants it deposited finally subsided. The zip up pockets are excellent for having a cell phone fast at hand!
