great jacket
Collar stays up nicely. Zipper smooth as silk. No adjustment on the wrist cuffs, but there's some kind of flat stiffener there to keep them from rolling back. Also, contrary to the description, this jacket did not have a third internal chest pocket, and "laminated zip" doesn't mean "waterproof coating", it means laminated to the fabric, not sewn in. I love it, though. Huge pockets.

excellent
I am quite happy with the trim fit overall. I get a bit of a tug on my lower neck area because I am pretty wide chested. The M doesn't leave a lot of room for layering that you might find in another brand of the same size. I like it for running because it clings to me though. No wind makes it through the jacket...tested it in Colorado during a blizzard. I layered a long sleeve shirt, arcteryx fleece, and put the Venta over top...comfy as can be!

For $300 Bucks I Expected More
Jacket is OK, however not worth the money. Also, the sleeves lack adjustable straps at the openings - which is annoying. I recently bought a North Face Jacket for a lot less and that is definitely superior.
