this is a cool-looking and very functional jacket. shields you from both rain and wind. straightforward design, but thoughtfully done so. includes more pockets that ill need, but i don't mind since, as i said, it is cool-looking.

the cowl is very nice. 2 adjustments to have it fit nicely and securely on your noggin, and ends up as a close fit as a cap. it will not work to roll the cowl up and cram into the collar, as it is simply too bulky. i just let it hang out, as, well, it is cool-looking.

includes velcro patches on the shoulder so you can fashion up and stick a patch of your favorite band's logo (whatever) on them.

one bad thing though, at least for the jacket shipped to me. the kid in the sweatshops who worked on this particular jacket made mad with the sewing machine and mis-sewn a part of the fabric on the back into the threading done on the front (i know, no idea how it happens). easily remedied though with a pair of scissors and patiently and carefully severing the errant thread.

i am an M but ive read on other reviews here that the sizing runs larger so i ordered an S, and successfully so. fit is comfy and exactly how i wear my jackets.

i gave 4 stars because, it is cool-looking, and my small retailoring went well otherwise i would have gone mad and awarded 1 star instead.
