Wanted a warm jacket that wasn't too long and this is perfect. It's not too short - bit longer than a bomber - a good length to just chuck on especially in and out of the car. Good thick padding and a nice surprise is the cosy fleece inside the hood and the pockets which you can't see on the website. There's a hidden zip pocket inside one of the side pockets which is good to stash my phone without it falling out. I expecting to get a lot of wear out of this over the winter. Got the black colour.
