Gave this four stars because of the cost and also because this is not a parka but more of an outer shell for a parka.  For the Pacific Northwest where it does not get to cold this is fine because I think you can get three seasons out of it.  For the couple of cold days I put a fleece under it and this worked out fine.  Although for the price the jacket should have come with an intergrated removable fleece and I suspect if you lived where it is cold for long periods you would get tired of having to do the fleece / jacket two step.

It is waterproof and has tons of pockets.  I also like the arm zips and tuck away hood.

Sizing is big which works fine for layering underneath.

However, I would not recommend to a friend due to the cost.  That said I expect to get a number of years of use out of it and I am happy with it.
