I really like this jacket for the southern Oregon weather. It's not too hot or bulky, yet warm enough to wear in the rain. (I've only had it a short while.) The only "problem" I have to report is that it is a tiny bit smaller in the shoulders and armsye, so that it is difficult to put on over a heavier sweater, but tight enough to warrant a larger size. That's part of the reason I didn't give it five stars. When I first got the jacket, it was very wrinkled, so I put it in the washer and dryer using the directions recommended. It came out wonderfully without the "new product" smell and the wrinkles, but slightly smaller. It seemed like the jacket shrank a little more than the lining, but I can still wear it and hope it performs as well through the years.
