The short, grey days, when the sun comes up around 10 in the morning and disappears after lunch.
The spitting rain freezing on top of the dirty snow.
The plastic on the windows, for the ever-popular glaucoma effect.
I needed something to fill the void between lined trenchcoat and waxed cotton coat, and basic large hunting shirt, so I took a shot at one of these
It arrived the other day, and I deployed it this morning (24 degrees F and windy).
It is amazingly warm, especially for the weight. I initially thought it was a joke. My Drizzler windbreaker weighs more.
Trundling around the grocery store, which is not a warm place, I had to open it up to avoid overheating.
I bought an XL. I am 5'9" and about 180 at the moment. It fits fine. The sleeves are a little long, which for a winter jacket is no hardship.
The pockets are all on the outside.
The front is a zipper, no backup snaps or Velcro.
I am wearing it here with a thick Rugby shirt underneath, and a scarf.
I wouldn't try to fool with this and a suit or sport coat at the same time. Wrong type of garment.
Thumbs up. Four coils. Whatever.
