*Just an FYI I am a true California girl who knows nothing about real cold weather. Okay, so this jacket is the perfect weight for those who dislike super heavy, hot jackets. For me it runs a bit big and I should have gotten a large instead of an xl. So it gives an oversized look. The material is pretty nice and there was no smell. I love the illusion of having a hoodie on just how I used to wear it in high school. lol
