A great jacket - OTTE Gear Alpine Jacket - Men's

The cut is kind of boxy; if you are looking for an athletic cut, this isn't it. There are elastic drawstrings all over it so you can adjust that to some degree.

The fabric is very water-repellent so far. The hood is huge, with drawstrings. You can roll the hood into a collar, but it's more a fabric log than a collar. It doesn't bother me; I expect it to get softer over time so it feels more like a collar.

The zippers work great and feel like they are high quality. The zipper that closes the jacket is attached on the left, which is odd. I didn't order a womens' jacket. The side pockets are a little high for warming my hands. My hands are warmer in the pockets than out, but there's still a cool breeze when the zippers are open enough to let my hands in.

Overall I'd say it's a great value. It seems to be well-constructed and it has kept me warm and dry since I got it.
