I purchased this to replace my ancient and battered 100 wool commando sweater. It's not quite as warm as my old faithful but I was surprised at the good quality and superior comfort of the acrylic example.As many other reviews have noted, the fit is very odd. I'm 5'10, about 175. Between a medium and large t-shirt (depending on brand). After much deliberation, I ordered the medium sweater. The torso is tighter than I'd like but the sleeves are ridiculously long (hence I was hesitant to exchange for a large). The elbow pads hit me at the wrist and I have to roll up the sleeves 6 inches.
