By Kris from Bangor, Maine on 09/09/2009 Pros: Comfortable, Good Weight, Warm Best Uses: Extreme Conditions, Sports Describe Yourself: Frequent Exerciser Sleeve Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I am normally a size 6-8 but got the Medium (8-10) just to make sure I could wear a layer comfortably- so glad I did- fits like my small apex north face soft shell. So much more durable though and great for cold days climbing outside because the pockets don't interfere with the harness. I LOVE IT! such a great deal
By Lab Lover from Auburn, NY on 05/21/2009 Pros: Comfortable, Good Weight, Lots Of Pockets Best Uses: Casual Wear, Sports Describe Yourself: Frequent Exerciser Sleeve Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: You cannot wear anything heavy under the jacket esp if the garment has bulky sleeves.(i.e.-sweatshirt)
By jodiskier from South Dakota on 05/12/2009 Pros: Breathable, Comfortable, Good Weight, Stylish, Warm Best Uses: Casual Wear, Sports, Wet Weather Describe Yourself: Conditioning Exerciser Sleeve Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I am 5'9"; a bit long waisted...fit is great. Sleeves long enough. Great athletic jacket. No pockets at sides...the ones in front are it. No pit zips either, which is always a plus. Jacket is stylish and comfortable for golfing or warm weather skiing.
By Charleston Gal from Charleston, SC on 04/01/2009 Pros: Breathable, Comfortable, Good Weight, Stylish, Warm Best Uses: Casual Wear, Sports Describe Yourself: Occasional Exerciser Sleeve Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I needed an Xl, which they do not have in stock. Too bad! (I am usually a 12 or 14) I loved this jacket. I wore it all night hoping to get used to its tightness, but decided I better try something else. My daughter said it looked great, but I did not feel comfortable in the snuggness. Warm, warm, warm, warm! This would have beena wonderful jacket for warmth and style.

By AMF from Chicago, IL on 12/31/2008 Pros: Comfortable, Good Weight, Stylish, Warm Best Uses: Casual Wear, Sports, Wet Weather Describe Yourself: Frequent Exerciser Sleeve Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I use this jacket for biking and it is so wind resistant that I am generally comfortable with only a light layer underneath down to 12 degrees or so! The seams are also flattering to the torso - slimming and cute for casual wear.
By a fish from Chicago on 10/06/2008 Pros: Comfortable, Good Weight, Stylish, Warm, Wind resistant Best Uses: Biking, Casual Wear, Sports, Wet Weather Describe Yourself: Frequent Exerciser Sleeve Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I am not sure about the other poor reviews of this jacket. It is built for performance, and is incredibly good at blocking wind, which is a huge plus as I bike in it nearly every day. There is a bit more fabric under the arms than purely fashion coats - this is necessary to have a good range of motion. I even like the pattern which seems to make torso look especially slim. A perfect fit with a light underlayer, the coat also dries quickly and resists water very well.
Volition soft Shell Jacket By Jenny from Aberdeen, WA on 01/07/2008 Pros: Comfortable, Good Weight, Stylish, Warm Cons: Not enough pockets, Poor Ventilation Describe Yourself: Weekend Warrior Sleeve Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I wish it had pit zips and side pockets in addition to the breast pockets. very water resistant and comfortable but feels a little too short at the waist.
By Tanya from central NJ on 12/19/2007 Pros: Breathable, Stylish, Warm Cons: Poor Fit, Restricts Movement Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I bought this jacket for Cross-Country skiing; unfortunately I had to return it. It has all the qulities of a perfect active winter wear: mid-weight, warm, extremely water resistant, breathable. BUT the fit is very uncomfortable. The sleeves are narrow underarm. It is barely tolerable when you put on only the thinnest base layer underneath, and extremely uncomfortable with anything more, such as a midlayer of lightweigh fleece for example. I got this jacket in M, and it fits fine everywhere else, so a size L, would not be an adequate substitute. I had to return it because I prefer freedom of movement, but if you don't mind a very snug fit, you might like it.
