I would not but this product again
Jacket was warm but what is disappointing is we could not get a stain out of it no matter what we tried. So much money down the drain.

What makes them happy!
- Familiarity:
- I gave it as a gift but have feedback to share
I brought this coat for my son, he loved it and he’s very picky when you don’t let him see it first! It comes in he opens it and gives me the biggest hug and said dad you never fail. I then told him. This was his dad’s favorite style jacket so I’d figured you’d love it! Few weeks later. My wife buys me one!

great jacket

- I've used it several times
All around good jacket, the one flaw is the hood. I wish the hood matched the rest of the jacket.

Long enough and perfect for the slopes
Love this jacket. I was worried about the reports that it's "short" I'm 5'9" with a longer torso and short legs(30-32 inseam) and the jacket came to just below my belt line. It's definitely a jacket for car camping, walks around town, etc. This ISN'T a summit series jacket and is defiantly not built as a belay jacket which I think some get confused. For me, after hitting the slopes and a bit sweaty, I pull this out of my pack, fluff it up(it folds into its own pocket and packs very small) and put it on going in and out of the lodge before the sweat get cold and drops my body temp.
