dubious of the cost when I bought it, but worth every nickel . .  now that I've worn it through a winter of Oregon rain and chill wind . .and not even that expensive when Amazon has a sale . . the sherpa lining makes it feel warmer than it would with just a regular hood, the sleeves slide on and off easily, the snaps are a bit difficult, but they WORK. the long length stops the cold wind, the draw strings needed spring clips to be fully useful on the hood, but the draw string pulls the hood up without its getting in the way, or restraining my neck; the pockets are useful and easy to reach. This thing can take a beating and keep on moving.
