Looks great, feels ok

Well - the jacket looks really sweet, I'll give it that. A good enough range of features and pockets given the price. Cons are that the fabric felt really cheap compared to my indestructible Sessions jacket, I felt like I could tear it with my hands. I think it was a bad sign that it came with a patch of fabric for when it ripped.Im 6'1, 205lbs, but not a fatass - this jacket in a L had a perfect sleeve length, and was longer at the waist than I was used to - I really liked the fit in that regard, but once zipped up, I didn't have a ton of room inside for layering, and the XL was just way too big.
