I like the shape of this jacket. It's long enough, dipping down in back. It's cut roomy enough to wear a heavy sweater or fleece underneath but still has some shape to it--it's not a big sack like the Arcadia I tried. Wrists are adjustable. The hood covers enough of my forehead without obscuring my eyes. Fabric is waterproof and breathable. I can live with the truly awful colors and prints available in my size.

Nearly perfect jacket, right? Nope. I'm returning it because the front closes with Velcro along the flap outside the zipper. I've had that kind of jacket before and will never buy one again. The Velcro catches on scarves, sweaters, pretty much anything that passes by. It's cheap-looking and an all-around design stupidity.
