i've been in search of the perfect jacket since 1997 and have tried them all (well, almost); ll bean, tnf, patagonia, marmot, etc and i think i found it.  why, you ask?  here's what i found.  i'm 5'10", about 180 with an athletic build; the large fits like an effing glove.  it moves with me, isn't constrained up under the arm or back, doesn't sit too low or high (just below the waist and a tad longer in the back) and just fits great, literally perfect.  the front pockets are higher, which i actually like, bc i can get to them easier when driving and they're super deep.  pockets are abundant and in all the right places.  the one design feature that threw me was what appears to be an inside pocket at chest level, but is actually just an opening to an inner panel.  odd.  i put my iphone in there and found out the hard way it wasn't a pocket.  they're on both sides too.  best feature and a real pet peeve in other jackets: you can zip up all the way to the top and not feel like you're being choked out,  like is the case with other soft shells. lots of room for a neck gaiter, balaclava, etc and it still comes up past my nose.  love it.  all in all, this thing, for the price, gives the other super brands a serious run for the money.  it survived the blizzard that hit NYC a few weeks ago (rain/snow), and stood up well in temperatures in the teens while skiing (with underlayers, of course; the fleece lining here is only comfortable to about 45 degrees).  roomy enough for a thin fleece underneath without feeling tight.  the OD green is a little darker than what you expect, but looks really sharp, great color.  several compliments in the first week to the point they were asking where to buy.  yes, long review, but for those folks in search of perfect gear like me, i figured i would pay it forward.  well done condor, DON'T DISCONTINUE THIS JACKET OR I'LL FIND YOU!!!!!
