I think it looks pretty damn good; I feel confident walking around in it. It breaks the wind, protects against water, and keeps me relativity warm. The sleeves have elastic and the bottom has a drawstring thingy, so wind stays out. The collar takes a few uses for the right side to stay downIt is a lot lighter of a jacket than I was expecting. Its more 'wind breaker' rather than 'jacket' but still does a decent job of keeping me warm.
