I purchased both this classic version and the modern soft-shell version(which I also left a review so that you may compare). I'm very impressed with the construction on this coat. It's a little too heavy for work activities during say a 45-50 degree calm day. The removable liner makes it good for extreme cold, but the liner is very loud such as a nylon PT jacket. Keep in mind that this was designed to be worn over long sleeve bdu uniforms, therefore I have to wear over a button up shirt to keep the inside buttons and velkro pieces from bothering me. The soft-shell is the better choice if desired to be used over a t-shirt. I'm very happy that I bought both of them. The only reason I am not giving all 5 stars is because of the liner, I probably won't use it unless I can get it to break-in and become softer

Comfortable and warm. Recommend washing a few times to help soften it up.Keep on mind these do run large as they are designed to fit over gear.
