This is a great jacket. Very comfortable, and looks great. The berber type lining makes it nice and warm at least down to freezing. We had some 50km wind gusts recently, I didn't feel a thing. Lots of pockets. Heavy duty zippers slide easily and I doubt will ever break. Material feels like it will hold up for a decade or two. My other Outback Trading jacket is 18 yrs old, still has a few good years left on it I think. I'm pretty sure this new one will hold up at least as long if not longer.
