“Very nice! Quality fabric and fleecy lining is cozy and soft. I love the cut of the hood; it covers my head and doesn’t droop down on my forehead/over my eyes (as some hoods do on my other jackets).

It has lots of appealing features, including a cozy lining, a hood that stays on well, and sleeves that are longer than average and have a thumbhole, which will come in handy when it turns colder. The DI embroidery is outstanding!”
