Great versatile jacket - Fjallraven Reporter Lite Jacket - Men's

41” chest, 34 waist and ordered the large. Perfect fit.

Pros: This jacket is exactly what I was looking for, as it’s made of tough material, highly water resistant, and has tons of pockets. I’m a nature photographer and hiker, so the large pockets are a huge help when carrying my gear, especially filters, lens cleaners, meters, a few cords and smaller lenses. I do hike with a large backpack filled with lenses, tripod and other larger peripherals, but it’s great to have stuff handy without having to dig into the backpack or rotate it around onto my chest to gain access.

The zip-off sleeves are great because they increase the number of months in which it can be worn, so in NJ it can be worn comfortably during late summer evenings through November, and again from mid to late March into June. Plus, there’s plenty of room for layering, thus further extending its utility.

Cons: The zippers on the zip-off arms are plastic and bit of a pain to attach/reattach.
