Really wanted this for the armpit vents, the gusset on the back, waterproofing, two way zip and pocket placement. I am satisfied with these features.
However:
I haven't tested the waterproof capability yet.
It is slightly insulated, which I wasn't expecting. It's best use where I live will be spring and fall. I did order large enough to fit over another jacket, so I might be able to work it into winter here as well.
The sleeves gape at the wrist and will need some additional tailoring. The do have a zipper gusset to make them larger but I cannot fathom anyone needing this feature.
The hood stows in the collar. The collar is extra wide/tall. When the coat is fully zipped the collar covers my face to just under my eyes. The hood is very generous but isn't very adjustable, so it can really only be used when wearing a helmet, otherwise it falls over your whole face.
I wish I had sent it back because I don't love it but it will do. Pretty much just settled as I already had several misses for rainwear already.
