Armholes are too high.     On: 2008-03-12

Fabric feels good soft but strong and thick enough. Not a noisy fabric, should behave well in a cold.
The reason I returned it was the fit.
Shoulders and arms are tight as well as body. I wear US38R or Sm. Small was too small for me and Med. was too loose.
Even with a perfect fit in a body and shoulders I would not keep this jacket because armholes are too high. This is sport clothing you suppose to feel free to lift your arms or fold them alongside your body. Every time I lower my arms I feel rolls of thick fabric pressing against my arm-pits. Not only it is uncomfortable, but it promotes excessive sweating. Imagine wearing a mid layer with this jacket youd be sweating bullets form your armpits.
Nice jackets overall, but could be much improved by proper cut.
