“The windbreaker fabric is not especially comfortable or warm when worn on the inside, and I didn't care for the look of the windbreaker fabric when worn on the outside. To me, it looks like an ultra cheap/flimsy windbreaker when the windbreaker fabric is worn on the outside. I haven't actually tried wearing it in the rain, but the windbreaker fabric appears to be a thin/cheap non-stretchable nylon material that would have very little resistance to water. ("windbreaker" in this case is not indicative of a serious technical material by any stretch) Also, the "fleece" is more like a relatively open weave knit sweater material that is relatively ineffective in terms of it's insulating qualities. The sweater/jacket seems bulky and heavy for how warm it is compared to windblock fleece or other materials. The windblock layer is not bonded to the sweater material, so the two layers tend to pull away from eachother, and this seems to contribute to the bulky sensation one gets when wearing it. Also, it has a fairly generous cut in the waist area, and it has no waist adjustment features. I have a 34 inch waist, and the XL was probably about 4 inches too big in the waist for what I'd normally wear. It's not junk, but I never end up wearing it because I have so many other sweaters and jackets that are more comfortable, look better, and perform better. For example, I have an Arcteryx Covert sweater, and I love it.”
