I got mine last night. I have to admit I was underwhelmed when I opened the package - for what I spent I expected... well... more! However, the fit is excellent - I have a sleeve problem too but the opposite of no motor - I'm short and usually have a sleeve's worth of fabric at the end of my arm. This jacket is perfect.

But the proof is in the performance. Today was the first ride - 13F with a headwind (weather service said 4F with windchill). It's much more windproof than the Novara Stratos - MUCH more! I've determined that the Stratos is good to about mid/low 30's - below that it let's too much air in and I'm cold. I didn't feel any cold air with the Foxwear and was much less sweaty when I arrived. So, it's more windproof and more breathable - so much for first impressions. BTW, I got the NeoShell Rain Jacket - exactly the same as the one in the picture but Lou added a hood (no charge). I'm pretty excited - more test results to come!
