I purchased this jacket three days before my trip to London the end of November, It was the only jacket I packed and it was perfect in every way. I was surprised how dry and warm I stayed even with the rain and 35 mph gusts one of the days. The hood is probably the best hood I've had on a jacket. The cord pull is sleek and simple to use when wearing gloves. The belt hits exactly where i like and the pockets are fantastic! Deep and large. The venting in the back helps with air flow to prevent getting too warm. I received many compliments on the color and those traveling with me loved that they could spot me in the insane crowds! This was my first Wuxly purchase and it won't be my last!.
