I looked at many
jackets prior to this purchase. I even went as far to try out a similar type of
jacket from a large, popular warehouse. I kind of had to because it was the same softshell material and it was less than $30. I ended up taking it back the next day because the fit was tight and restricting. I could not hold my arms out to the side without feeling like the
jacket was impeding my arms from moving.
Enter TNF Apex Android
Hoodie. The Zappos App ROCKS for my smartphone. Incredibly easy to use and has a lot of thoughtful features. This
jacket was $20-30 lower in price than most websites and major sporting good stores. Free shipping plus the guarantee that Zappos offers makes it a "can't lose" transaction. The
jacket is lightweight and is able to be "layered." I live in Florida. Perfect for the fall, windproof, and so far is great with temps into the mid-50's. I'm 5'9" 175# and got the large. It fits perfect and leaves plenty of room to wear a "cold gear" type of shirt underneath. Combined with the hood, I love it and get many compliments on it as well. The hood is definitely warmer. I do not think you will be sorry about getting this
jacket.
