I've been looking for a soft shell jacket with a hood for a long time.  This one is great.  Size runs a bit large - the jacket is not as sleek on me as it is on the model - but I need to keep the size I have because I need extra sleeve length for my ape arms.  The navy color is a little conservative for me, but it goes with nearly anything.  The belt detail in the back dresses it up.  The hood cinches keep the hood on my head, even in the wind.  Best of all, this jacket is seriously warm - it keeps wind out and body warmth in.
