By TraderReese from Colorado Springs, CO on 10/14/2009 Pros: Attractive Design, Durable, Good Cut, Lightweight, Versatile Best Uses: Daily Use, Outdoor Activities, Travel Describe Yourself: Casual Dresser Sizing: Feels true to size Sleeve Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: This is a unique soft shell jacket in that it is very thin and light. It is not 'soft' like a fleece lined alternative nor is the outside shell 'spongy' as with your run-of-the-mill soft shell. This jacket has a micro thin layer of wool inside (instead of fleece) and the outside shell is more like a synthetic canvas. It is a tough jacket that is ready for whatever you throw at it. Although you wouldn't want to wear this for warmth (you would need a insulation layer with it) the wool does regulate temperature pretty well. There are two hand warmer pockets and an upper chest pocket. About half of the cuff circumference is 'gathered' with some elastic so that it fits your wrists, neither being open, nor tightly sealed (there is no adjusting the fit there). Also, the collar is a nice cut and comes up the neck midway, but not high enough to cover your chin or mouth. If you are looking for a tough and durable shell that will take a beating in most outdoor activities, which also has a wool component, this is a great shell.
By skeletor from seattle, wa on 10/01/2009 Pros: Comfortable, Lightweight, Warm Describe Yourself: Casual Dresser Sizing: Feels true to size Sleeve Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: only thing I'd like different is the cuffs. Rather have a draw string or velcro tighteners instead of them being permanently cinched
By Prof from NY on 09/22/2009 Pros: Attractive Design, Good Cut Best Uses: Outdoor Activities Sizing: Feels true to size Sleeve Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I usually wear a large and ordered a large. It has a trim, athletic cut so if you don't expect to pile a bunch of layers under it you'll like it. Keeps the wind out. Repeals light rain no problem.
Good Jacket, but fit is not good By isoko from San Francisco on 08/31/2009 Pros: Attractive Design, Lightweight, Versatile Describe Yourself: Classic Dresser Sleeve Length: Feels too long Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: I really love the Ibex products and have several of their jackets and clothing. For some reason, this cut does not fit well, material is stiff nor look good on me. Returning it to find a something better.
