The generous cut leaves room for layers underneath, yet is still comfortable. Order the size shirt you normally wear, don't upsize. The material has a nice feel to it, not plastic, and seems durable. The fabric does make some crinkle/rustle noise when you move your arms around, but not badly. The zipper works fine, but I wish it was a double zipper so I could zip up from the bottom. VERY waterproof, won't soak through even on a long walk. Even though the fabric is somewhat breathable, this is a raincoat and you'll get sweaty if you wear it in warm weather. The hood fits well, and there's a loop to tie back the hood if you want. The side zipper pockets are fairly large, and there's a large zippered inside pocket.Overall, I'm very happy with this jacket and would recommend it to others.
