High quality materials and construction, light weight and protective. I'm 6'tall and ordered a large, it fit perfectly, the bottom of the jacket falls at mid-hand; inner elastic-pulls at the waist to cut down on draft. The full 2-way covered main(YKK)zipper is a big plus if you need a jacket that allows you to sit in a car or on an ATV etc or just bend over to pick something up without the jacket bunching-up. Front zipper runs full length up to the top of the high collar for extra protection against the elements. I wear this jacket daily with a sweater; temperatures down to 30F and it cozy. Plenty of pockets with zippered closures so things don't get lost. A quality jacket at a reasonable price!

2014 Update: I live in New England and this has become my my go-to winter shell when I plan to be out for a few hours. I use this jacket almost daily throughout the winter , no problems or wear issues. With a sweatshirt and fleece vest I'm warm down to 20F. Excellent wind protection. Pocket zippers can be a bit stiff and difficult to open. Arm vents are a great plus as are the 2-way zippers mentioned above.
