After striking out looking for a winter jacket in the color/pattern that I like through Land's End or Columbia, I remembered and old Port Authority jacket that I once had and checked around. I found this one and ordered it for a snow tubing trip with the family. The price was less than half that of the name brands mentioned above. The fit was great and the black-graphite look was great. It's warm and somewhat roomy but not overly big. It fits well as is but there is room for a hoodie underneath on extreme days. The only negative that I could pick out was the cord in the back of the neck area that stuck out and was kind of unsightly with the hood detached. I removed the cord which caused no change in how the jacket functioned for me. I would definitely buy it again in another color if I ever wanted to expand my winter choices.
