This jacket really works! It was 7 degrees the other morning, with an additional windchill, and I decided to put it to the test. I took my dogs for their morning walk, and was not a bit cold in my upper body, and I was only wearing a light fleece shirt underneath the jacket. My legs, on the other hand, were completely numb. Facing north I didn't feel the wind at all through the jacket. Make sure to keep the pockets zipped, otherwise you will feel the wind seeping in. I think it runs small, I ordered a large instead of a medium, and it fits perfectly.

I have had this jacket for three weeks, and it has been great so far. It is surprisingly warm, and although it isn't windproof, I have been surprised by its wind resistance. It was snowing lightly the other day and I wasn't cold. It is also nice indoors; I can wear it in my drafty office, and it isn't too warm.

I love this coat because it is so windproof. It keeps you very warm. The longer length (longer than a regular fleece jacket) helps especially if you are wearing dress pants or nice work clothes. The hood is also a great feature. I'm so glad I bought it!

I am a Chaco fan, and I am just as pleased with the newer sole, Unaweep, as I was with the older style Colorado and Terreno soles. The Unaweep sole is lighter than the Terreno, and you can definitely appreciate the difference when hiking all day. I agree with some of the other postings that the toe strap of the Z2 and ZX2 tightens a bit when new. I found if I keep the other main section of the strap near the buckle slightly more loose, the toe strap doesn't tighten as much. After a while, the toe strap seems to stay more in place, and doesn't keep tightening. The strap patterns are great, the one I bought, Twiggy, is more unusual in its random looking design. I haven't seen anyone else with it yet...

This jacket is very warm and works well both along or under a shell. Yesterday I wore it for my errands while it was snowing lightly, and it repelled the moisture really well. I also continued to wear it at work in my office because the heat wasn't working. I love the gypsy pink/brown combo. Thanks for a great sale price!
