I could live until I die and never need another jacket but Patagonia got the best of me again with their Guide Jacket. This quality jacket caught my eye at the store, sitting all by itself. I said to myself, it couldn't be my size...and it was. The first time I noticed it, it was regular price. I went back a few weeks later and got it on sale. All in all with the sale and a store gift card I got it at a steal: 75 dollars compared to it's retail price of $175. Well worth it to me. Another piece of clothing that I will most likely own for life. The fit was nice. Good fit in the shoulders, maybe a little tight when arms are crossed but not too bad. For my short stature, the arms were a tad long but I settled with it. It's got a nice soft shell that claimed to be "highly breathable and water resistant." So far the highly breathable has lived up to it's name, the water resistant part not so much. But don't let that stop you from buying. I bought this jacket for daily wear as well as biking and for a layer in my cooler weather fishing arsenal. The bright red isnt' a good color for spooky fish but neither is my yellow hat. It's a super comfortable jacket and I'm glad I purchased it. If you need a comfy, versatile jacket, take a look at the Patagonia Guide Jacket.
It's a regular fit jacket with a short body length, which works well with my height.
The sleeves have a nice velcro strap to keep the water or snow at bay.
The large chest pocket is big enough to hold a good sized fly box, wallet or phone.
