I bought this for my wife for Christmas and she immediately fell in love with it. It is a beautiful jacket that is put together as well as any garment I have ever seen. A zip off hood, a warm, cozy double insulated neck and a very soft and thick but not too heavy feel which appears will be very comfortable and should provide more than enough warmth for the winters we have here in Southern California. Cold, damp nights at our son's baseball tournaments should be a little easier for her to deal with now! I vacillated between the beige and this red color and once I actually saw it I was very glad I chose the red. It is a deep, stunning color and it looks terrific on my wife. All in all, by far the best value of any gift I bought this Christmas. It is easily a $150.00 jacket so at $27.00 and such a high quality item all I can say is "thanks Amazon".
