This jacket is very well made, light weight and comfortable. It has a zipper and velcro storm flap down the middle, comfy pockets lined for warming hands. The hood is fleece lined and large enough to fit over my head and hair, but not too bulky. The collar zips up just under my chin for windy days. I am so glad I purchased this jacket! It hasn't gotten cold enough yet, but I can tell already it will be great in winter in the snow.
