Parajumpers Men's Last Minute Jacket

I couldn't find any reviews for this product when I was in the market so I thought I'd write one. First thing to know is Parajumpers sizing is radically smaller than most others, even Moncler. I am a comfortable size XL in North Face, Canada Goose (slim fit), pretty much any North American brand. I have worn Moncler in XXL. I knew Parajumpers was a small fit so I ordered an XXL. It wasn't close and I ended up in an 3XL. But the story doesn`t end there. I had ordered a blue and a black (from two different retailers) because I wasn`t sure which colour I preferred. (A note on color - they are not nearly as dark as the pics suggest although still nice). So both jackets were 3XL but not the same size. Not even that close. One was clearly too small and other other was `just right`. So I don`t know what is going on with PJS but the sizing is...unpredictable. Expect to go up 1-3 sizes anyway. Now for the jacket itself - I love it! The fabric is almost silky in texture. It is light, very water resistant and surprisingly warm. I have been out in -10 comfortably with a sweater and a t-shirt underneath. The jacket has an inner collar so when the hood is down is sits nicely at the back while the collar fully protects your neck. The storage is great - two hand pockets, a chest stash pocket on the outside and a very large drop pocket inside. You can very easily fit your gloves and hat securely into the drop pocket. The zipper pulls - a small detail but important - are large and ergonomic so they are easy to use with gloves on. The hood fits securely and has a brim to block snow and train. The zipper is 2 way which is always a nice feature. There are a couple of misses in my opinion. The hood adjustment is via exposed pull strings. I find them awkward to use and the pulls tend to slip back after you tighten them. The jacket has vents under the arms. Small slits in the fabric that can`t be closed up! It is supposed to let you cool down but come on. If are warm you can unzip the zipper. If you are cold, you can`t close up those vents. Luckily where they are positioned the cold air doesn`t come in at all unless you basically flap your arms. Still - a pointless design choice. The other miss is that the jacket doesn`t pack into itself. Now, I know that`s a technical feature and this is not a TECHNICAL jacket per se. It is made more for city then mountain. But I could see it used for travel and that would have been a handy feature. Otherwise for me this jacket is really close to perfect.
