Cons:

• "The hood is too big as it blocks my vision and the back rides up lifting my undershirt with it."
• "It's very large around but not long enough to match the same dimensions. I'm always pulling it lower and my shirts stick out from underneath."
• "The sizing runs about one whole size too small."
• "The XL fit perfect in sleeve length and shoulder width but barely reached my belt line for length and doesn't zip up high enough to seal out the cold at the top and bottom."
• "The only gripe I have (and thus I had to return) is that it's much too short for tall people."
• "BUT it is much to short when it comes to waist length of it... cus when i lift my arms up... it rides up my abdomen and looks like a fluffy red sports bra on me..."
• "Way too big in the body for a more fit build."

• "It's warm enough and the price is good."

Cons:

• "Only problem is that the zipper breaks easily in the dryer."
• "The zipper bottom (where it locks in) broke off/fell off after two washes, a wee bit disappointed as I can't do the sweater up unless I get a replacement part."
• "My first shipment had to be returned because of a faulty zipper which they tried to fix with hot glue?!?"
• "Feels like something you'd buy from Wal-Mart."
• "This isn’t a high dollar jacket, so don’t expect world class stitching and materials, but for the cost it is more than excellent."
