By Woolsocks from Greeley Hill California on 01/14/2009 Pros: Attractive Design, Durable, Good Cut, Lightweight Sizing: Feels true to size Sleeve Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Like most Craft garments this jacket is very well made and includes some nice extras like inside cuffs to keep drafts out of the sleeves. The material is synthetic but feels like cotton, the inside liner is fairly warm, but it breathes well (grid fleece,not as warm as Patagonia grid fleece, but more breathable). I use this jacket for ski touring-- it excells in windy weather. As other reviewers have mentioned, the arm holes are a bit tight, and you can feel them a bit. I have a skinny upper body so this is not a problem, but if you have big shoulders this jacket will not suit. The tight shoulders, however, do mean that when using this jacket as a vest, you don't get drafts through the arm holes. All in all, I'm happy with this jacket.
By ski mom from Crescent City, CA on 01/10/2009 Pros: Attractive Design, Good Cut, Lightweight, Warm Best Uses: Outdoor Activities 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: I bought this jacket for my son to snowboard with for the first time. At first I thought it would not be warm enough, but he never complained and stayed warm the entire day. He liked the design and fit too.
By skier from central NY on 12/30/2008 Best Uses: Outdoor Activities Describe Yourself: Casual Dresser Sleeve Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: The upper sleeves are so narrow that I had difficulty putting it on. I tried zipping off the sleeves, and the arm holes were cut much too tight. So tight that I couldn't wear it with any kind of comfort at all. My upper body is not exceptionally big, and my arms are not not either. This will be returned.
High quality. But for specialized use. By Bargain Shopper from Detroit area, MI on 07/17/2008 Pros: Attractive Design, Versatile, Warm Describe Yourself: Bargain Shopper, Casual, Classic, Eclectic 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 well made garment. But it is designed for winter activites. It is not for daily wear. The sleeves zip off to make a vest. This causes the shoulders to feel tight. The jacket is perfect as a mid layer ski jacket. The fabric and over all design are high quality. The fabric is wind and water resistant.
