Description of LaCrosse Tempest Softshell Jacket - Men's:
The LaCrosse Tempest Jacket keeps you dry without scaring off the wildlife, thanks to stretch, 3-ply Hyper-Vent softshell fabric. LaCrosse's Precision Fit design uses underarm gussets and a rounded shoulder profile to allow your full range of movement and prevent hem lift. Adjustable wrist snaps let you tuck your cuffs under gloves in wet weather or open them up for a more casual appearance. Polyester microfleece inside traps warm air and feels soft on bare skin.
Wore the jacket this morning (50 deg with 30 mph winds), and the jacket held great! My arms & body were warm, though I could feel the cold on my face. The jacket fits great, and functions just as well. Great buy!
I live in North Dakota with 20 mph winds an almost daily occurrence, so I needed a good coat for fall/late winter. This coat is an excellent buy for the money. Well-sized for me at medium (5'6", 150 lbs). The coat is very light, the fleece lining keeps me pretty warm, but not sweaty. Aesthetically, the jacket looks great, with cuff buttons available to close tight if too windy or undo if you want to roll them up. Only problem with this jacket was that I only wore this on a cool night (50-60deg), so I'm not sure how it handles in the fall when the wind chill becomes a factor. Nevertheless, I would still buy this jacket for it's look and it's warm (not sweltering) lining.
