I got this for my son and he likes it as an added layer to stay warm. Without sleeves, it's not as cumbersome as a full puffy jacket. He can easily fit a light sweatshirt or long sleeved shirt underneath if he needs to keep his arms warm. It's lightweight and does a good job of breaking the cool wind, but doesn't make him hot if the weather turns warmer. The zippers work well. The pockets are a good size to warm hands or to keep valuables secure. The gray is a nice color. The jacket fits well around the torso and in length. It's a great option if you need a little something for warmth, but don't want a full jacket.
