I've been wearing this sweater to class in the mornings, hikes in the woods, and while practicing archery and could not be more pleased. I even wore it for a bike ride home late at night. It is nice when you are active, it doesn't get too warm, and keeps you warm enough when you're just standing around outside (archery practice in my case). The liner is pretty useful, it blocks the wind really well (useful in windy Oklahoma). It has a good range of movement and fit me nicely. The colors are true to the image (I ordered the slate blueish one). According to the stickers, this sweater is made in Iceland rather than China if that matters to you. The only things that I noticed initially were the noisy liner and the front of the shoulders are cut oddly. The liner sounds like an old nylon windbreaker, but doesn't quite feel like one. This material is also the lining in the pockets (This is the only thing keeping it from 5 stars). The shoulders bunch up a little and stick out in the front like they used too much fabric. Perhaps it was to improve range of movement? Those two issues are nothing dire enough to put me off though, this is a very nice looking and functional sweater. I'm 6'0" and muscular, the large fits perfectly.
