This is the best jacket I have ever bought! Let me just give you an example of what kind of weather I deal with. Today it was 25 feels like 12 outside in Chicago and I was not cold at all! I was snug and warm. From the minute you put this on, you can feel the heat being trapped inside and keeping you warm. I must say that it fits true to size and it is soft on the outside. The sleeves have a thumb hole so you can pull it over the back of your hand. It also seems to have a lining on the sleeves that keeps the wind from going up them. I would reccommend this to anyone in a snowy climate
