Reviewed by unknown from unknown on Tuesday, April 02, 2013I love everything about this jacket. The velcro cuffs are a bit big, however I have unusually small wrists, so I can't fault the jacket.

Reviewed by Trulyb from Asheville, NC on Thursday, December 06, 2012I tried a number of shell jackets to find one just right for me, in a range of brands and sizes. This one didn't jump out at me when I first read about it, but this is the one for me. I like a shell that has room for layers, has a storm flap (so many don't nowadays, with manufacturers opting for the "sealed" exposed zipper look - which has been a fail point for me and my husband.) This jacket layers well, is waterproof (so far so good), and blocks the wind. There is some stretch to the fabric. However, there's plenty of room for movement and for layers, even without a lot of stretch. The inside of the shell slips over the underlayers easily, rather than binding up and making me struggle to pull them on, but it still seems to wick. I didn't expect to like the black, but it's just fine since it has a subtle highlight of a magenta color, which many of my other layers pick up. I don't mind adjusting the hood, since it does fit over a variety of headcover layers. This is a classic-style versatile shell I really prefer. And what a price (especially with a discount coupon)! You can't beat STP!

Reviewed by Patricia from NJ on Saturday, October 13, 2012This is an update of a review I already wrote. Unfortunately I have to return it. For all it's positive qualities, I could not actually wear it because the huge hood is just unmanageable. The pull-cord adjustments work well to make it fit around my face, but there is so much excess fabric (and the stiff bill) in the hood, that when the hood is down, the weight of it actually tugs the neckline back. The hood can roll into a velcro cinch strap, but then it felt like a heavy log at the back of my neck, still pulling on the front. If you don't mind a huge hood, it's otherwise a great jacket.

Reviewed by Patricia from NJ on Tuesday, September 18, 2012The stretch fabric is relatively soft compared to most hard shells, which makes it very comfortable, and it has a 2-way zipper, a big plus. The helmet-compatible hood (which I didn't need) is very large, but it has 2 back pull-cords, one that adjusts the sides and another that will pull it back from the forehead. I have to pull the hood in a lot to keep it out of my eyes, so the excess fabric makes the it look a bit wrinkly. The red is a nice neutral red, but I would have preferred it without the gray slash on the sleeves. It's a good length, not too short. I haven't worn it yet in the rain or for vigorous activity, so can't attest to it's waterproof or breathable performance. I'm 5'4", 110 lb. and bought a S, which fits perfectly with or without a lightweight fleece under it.

Reviewed by Iridil55 from Northern Arizona on Tuesday, February 14, 2012Bought this jacket for transition into spring. I wore it once for a walk to see how it would perform. Even with a fleece jacket underneath, I felt cold, and the shell was noisy when I walked. The lining felt like plastic. I loved the styling, but I returned it. I shouldn't feel cold wearing a jacket. Too bad.
- Cons: Cold, Lining feels like plastic, Noisy
- Pros: Good Fit, Great Styling, Nice Length
