This is a nice jacket for cool weather, not cold. It is similar to a fleece jacket, but it is slightly warmer and it seems to be a better windbreaker. The outer shell reminds me of the cloth fabric found in some car seats. Sizes seem to run a little on the large side. The jacket is machine-washable and the two side zipper pockets are nice. There is also an inside pocket in the jacket. Personally, I believe this jacket should be in the $35 to $40 price range, but with free shipping this was a good deal.
