Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend
I had wanted this jacket to wear in cool, rainy conditions, as I walk several miles every day no matter what the weather is. However, I was put off by the static cling in the fabric, the obvious synthetic feel to the outer layer, and the swishy noise the fabric made while I wore the jacket. I really don't want to hear my clothing! As far as the fit goes, the body is comfortable and the sleeves are long enough, but it's too short to be really practical in wet weather. I would have liked it to cover the hip area, like Ibex's Nolita jacket does. Maybe the Cirque jacket is better suited to a cyclist than a walker.
