This coat has been one of the items I have been less fond of.
This coat is from the stripped-down end of the soft-shell spectrum in the sense that it offers good wind and decent water resistance, but zero insulation."

The only downer is that the fit is much too snug to accomodate a heavy layer for colder climates."
