I was optomistic based on your review and its a nice coat. I really like the wool and its a good weight for wearing alone. I agree its not best as a base layer but could be used as such in a pinch. I've been using it in cool temps around town, commuting by bike, and such. It breaks the wind pretty well and is nice when it cool and damp/drizzle here on the coast. Not going to work in rain obviously. Sleeves don't bother me as much as you, and I appreciate the extra wind blocking seal they give you. Solid coat, especially at SAC price.

I saw the inventory was like 600-something earlier this week, so I had a sense they would go up on SAC shortly. I was right. $79 is a great deal on this jacket. You could still use it as a fleece underlayer, but the hood and the thickness of the jacket might make it be not so comfortable for that purpose. I think it's just best as an outerlayer... maybe a vest on top if needed. Let me know your thoughts once it arrives. Yeah, I was a day late for the review.

These were on SAC yesterday for $79 so I grabbed one to try out. Sounds like it should be good, I'm interested in the fit...thought I might be able to use it like a fleece underlayer but sounds like it might be to heavy for a shell to go over huh?
