This was my 3rd jacket from Kitanica. Love it. I live in Chicago and the weather over here can dip down below zero. I never owned a soft shell before so I wasn't sure if it would keep me warm. It did! This jacket has the drawstrings to keep your body heat from leaking out leaving you cold. I walk to work about 1 1/2 miles each way and when it is cold I need the right jacket to keep me warm. This was one did its job. The coldest it has handled so far is 15 below zero.

This jacket is really great. This year, Japan has been hit by a cold wave once every few years, but this jacket is very warm and has no windy days. I'm glad I bought it.

This Jacket really impressed me. Its warm dry and light and moves with you. Its my new favorite and gets lots of use. The hood is perfect for snow and sleet and the fleece keeps you warm. Pockets for everything, this is one well thought out jacket. You won't be disappointed when you get one.
