soooo i just got my Chrome Champ jacket in the mail in the above color....
regular its 140, i picked one up because Gilt Group had it for 70!

and my review is...

its really really awesome.
fits perfect on me. a slim-ish fit but still roomy and easy to move around in.
works great against wind, doing pretty damn good against the rain.

large arm pit zips are going to come in handy for when i build up heat.

cool cuff detail: long strap and heavy duty button can be strapped around each way, to either hide or show long super reflective stripe.

HUGE pocket on back...almost like a backpack pocket!

magnetized butt flap! lol...it stays up under the jacket when snapped into place with cool magnets, then folds down for added butt flap protection, AND has a long super reflective strip for visibility.

pocket on sleeve, front big breast pocket.

this particular color looks kinda bright online, but came out looking more grayish in person, which i really like actually.

inside collar is lined with quasi fuzzy and comfy feeling micro fleece or something like that.



to be nit picky, downsides:
im really used to having side pockets...you know, to put your hands into. this dosn't have those. i find myself reaching for side pocket zippers that arn't there.
the price is quite hefty at 140. although i paid 70 and am stoked on it, but if i paid 140 i would feel....well i guess i would feel like i got my money's worth more or less. but its always nice feeling like you got more than your moneys worth.

this thing feels SUPER rainproof, but as i have worn this in the rain....what about the head? seriously, if this thing had a super slim, well-cut hoody...that either zippers off/on or buttons off/on...or folded up and zipped into the back collar, (and had some side zipper pockets) it would be the best jacket ive ever worn.

all in all, so far, 8.75 out of 10.
