The front zipper feature is just great.  It's easy on easy off, especially with the zipper.  It made with quality.  However, I use is when biking.  The cold still got through.  My fix wear a beanie underneath.  It seems long enough in the photo, but the neck could be a little longer.  Without the wind chill factor, I'm sure it would be fine, but for keeping could out when cycle probably not.  The zipper is so cool is almost makes up for it.
