Reviewed by Ed, Oct 20, 2007

I have to agree with the others that the cut and design of this jacket falls short. It is cut in such a way that the armpits are very tight, it is so strange. I think it might have to do with a poor design/implementation the armpit zippers --after wearing the jacket for a day, you actually have chaff marks in your armpits from the zipper scrapping you! Also the hood is detachable, but there is no place to put it, and it is bulky, so if you put it in a pocket, you have to live with the bulge.
