This is a nice, more modern, alternative to a peacoat, with plenty of pockets and good looks to boot.  The coat's fairly heavy and protects well against the cold (it was in the mid 30s today) with the bib/hood in place.  However, I have yet to try it without those attached.

A note on the fit:  I'm 6'1" and 180lbs with I suppose a slimmer figure.  I was tempted to buy a medium but based on another review I opted for the large.  I'm for the most part glad that I did, while wearing a sweatshirt underneath: the shoulders fit perfectly, the chest fit well, but unfortunately the midsection is pretty loose.  While it gives me room to pack on a few pounds over the winter, I'd rather it were cut with more of a taper.
