By freddie slim from Australia on 09/02/2008 Pros: Durable, Lightweight, Soft on inside, Soft to the touch, Warm Cons: Waist fit is too loose Best Uses: Cold Weather, Extreme Conditions, Hiking and Camping Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational Sleeve Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: good:
Excellent materials used, the outer is tough nylon, the inner (including outside pockets) is soft, comfortable and very warm. Also lightweight.
I chose the redwood color & I'm very happy with it - a nice deep burgundy-like shade.
No signs of bad workmanship anywhere on the jacket, probably just the fitting hat makes it "irregular".
bad:
The fit is too loose around the waist and out of proportion with the rest of the jacket (i.e. the height and the sleeve fit is perfect). It's fine if a couple of sweaters are worn underneath (or for wider frames).
I also feel that the jacket would benefit from a waist draw chord - the nylon is stiff and sticks out at the base, especially when left unzipped.
Overall, a great practical jacket at a very reasonable price. Just a little dissappointed with the extra room.
