By a fish from Chicago on 10/06/2008 Pros: Comfortable, Good Weight, Stylish, Warm, Wind resistant Best Uses: Biking, Casual Wear, Sports, Wet Weather Describe Yourself: Frequent Exerciser Sleeve Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I am not sure about the other poor reviews of this jacket. It is built for performance, and is incredibly good at blocking wind, which is a huge plus as I bike in it nearly every day. There is a bit more fabric under the arms than purely fashion coats - this is necessary to have a good range of motion. I even like the pattern which seems to make torso look especially slim. A perfect fit with a light underlayer, the coat also dries quickly and resists water very well.
Volition soft Shell Jacket By Jenny from Aberdeen, WA on 01/07/2008 Pros: Comfortable, Good Weight, Stylish, Warm Cons: Not enough pockets, Poor Ventilation Describe Yourself: Weekend Warrior Sleeve Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I wish it had pit zips and side pockets in addition to the breast pockets. very water resistant and comfortable but feels a little too short at the waist.
By Tanya from central NJ on 12/19/2007 Pros: Breathable, Stylish, Warm Cons: Poor Fit, Restricts Movement Comments: I bought this jacket for Cross-Country skiing; unfortunately I had to return it. It has all the qulities of a perfect active winter wear: mid-weight, warm, extremely water resistant, breathable. BUT the fit is very uncomfortable. The sleeves are narrow underarm. It is barely tolerable when you put on only the thinnest base layer underneath, and extremely uncomfortable with anything more, such as a midlayer of lightweigh fleece for example. I got this jacket in M, and it fits fine everywhere else, so a size L, would not be an adequate substitute. I had to return it because I prefer freedom of movement, but if you don't mind a very snug fit, you might like it.
