Columbia Men’s Ascender II Softshell, Black, Large – $90.00
User review:
I didn’t buy this here but I thought I should share my opinion on this jacket. First of all, the sizing of this jacket is made a little smaller than what most people would think. I normally wear large and I feel very comfortable. I got this jacket large size and it felt very tight in the under arms and shoulder area. I exchanged for a XL and it feels way better…It seems as if there is a huuuuge gap between a Large and a XL….The jacket is warm but you want to wear a hoody inside for the winter.
Update 11/12/11: I’m very glad I exchanged the jacket for a XL. It looks and feels way better. I love the design of this jacket. It really makes you look sharp.
