- Paul Grajek 4 out of 5 stars Reviewed in the United States on April 17, 2025 Brief content visible, double tap to read full content. Full content visible, double tap to read brief content. Material is great, not at all as scratchy on my hands as Patagonia. Looks like it might develop pilling, but we'll see. Love the zippered waist pockets and chest pocket. Should be moderately warm for the 50-60 degree range. Major flaw is the length of the sleeves. I'm a 40" chest 5'7" man, so always on the border of small and medium sizes. Went with the Medium in this case due to the size chart, and it's roomy enough without being baggy - but the sleeves are absurdly long. When stretched fully, they extend a full 2 inches past my fingertips. Whose arms are that long compared to their waist??? As the item was $30 off retail price, I'm considering paying the money to get the sleeves tailored. Read more Read less Helpful Sending feedback... Thank you for your feedback.
