Nice against bare skin too.

I have one of those that I have had for several years. It's my general purpose jacket, the one I grab most of the time. Two things that bug me about it though... it doesn't seem to be the least bit water repellent, and the neck is HUGE. Mine is a size XXL, but even though I have a large neck the neck closure on this jacket is at least 4 inches bigger than my fat neck.

Is yours like that?
