Great, Multi-purpose Jacket
I purchased the ivory/brown jacket because I was aiming for versatility. It looks stylish enough to wear around town and yet it is durable enough for my outdoor excursions. So far the jacket has proven to be waterproof and windproof. NOTE: the zippers near the exterior pockets aren't taped so items inside are not completed protected from water. Not drenched, just damper than I expected. I don't see this as a problem since the shell has two pockets on the inside, as does the fleece, so there are four, well-protected pockets for storage in rainy conditions. I'm 5'3'', 110 lbs and the medium works well, especially with a layer underneath of moderate thickness. It still fits my form well and is flattering.

Great jacket!
This is a great jacket! Not too bulky, yet warm. Perfect for southern winters. I can't comment on if it would be warm enough for colder climates. I love that the fleece liner comes out to wear alone or it can be a great spring jacket and raincoat. The all black looks really nice. I saw the brown/ivory combo in the store and it looks great! I was afraid I would get it too dirty though, so just went for all black. I do agree with previous reviews that it runs small. I am 5'2" and 110 lbs and a small fits great. I don't wear really bulky sweaters so I think I will be fine, but if I did, I would probably get a M. I didn't realize the hood is permanently attached. I thought it was removable. It lays flat though, but I wish I read the details more closely.

great jacket!
Bought this for myself and i loved it. The jacket is light but very warm. The color looks exactly as the picture. However it was shipped a little late but overall it's a great purchase!

Great Jacket
This is a great jacket. It runs on the small size. Be sure to make sure it fits before you buy it otherwise you probably will have to exchange it.

TNF at Altrec is awesome
Bought this for my girlfriend as an early Christmas gift, and she loved it. She's 5'2" 105lbs with a slim/athletic body, and an XS fit her perfectly. Nicely packaged and shipped quickly. Thanks ALTREC!
