It seemed a bit expensive when I bought it, but now I understand its quality construction (zippers, pockets, quilting) and hi tech fabric. I wear this jacket through a much wider range of warm and cold temperatures than I had expected. It’s very light but really stops the wind. Coat sleeves have always seemed to restrict my arm movements. So, I wear vests only with wind breakers when needed. But the sleeves in this hoodie seem as light and roomy as a cotton shirt. The XL is perfect for my size 6’0 185. Great looking too.
