Just got this today and it's sooo close to being a great jacket.

The good: Seems pretty warm & well-made. Lots of pockets. Fits pretty well overall.

The bad: As noted by another review, the handwarmer pockets are placed a little far back (not as noticeable when zipped up). A more substantial hood that is removable would be nice. The sleeves are a tad long (a problem I rarely encounter, being 6'5" with orangutan arms).

Even with the above negatives, I could really like the jacket. But what I can't stand are the uncomfortably small arm holes, even though it's a 2X. I have a gore-tex parka for really bad weather, so I didn't really need to layer with this. But even with just a t-shirt on, when I sit down, all kinds of material jams up into my armpits, which is very uncomfortable. Since this was mainly for commuting, that kills it for me.

I hate to do it, but I'm sending it back.
