This is a black 100% cotton winter jacket that's smooth on the surface, lined, has a zip front, two side pockets, elastic cuffs on the sleeves, and is lightweight. It's well made and is lightweight, but the "BWarm tech keeps you cozy in cold weather." Well, it's June now, so I can't try that out, but the jacket is very comfortable with plain, clean lines that looks more like a work jacket than a sports jacket.The "vest" of the jacket is made with recycled materials, which is always nice to see. The fabrics inside and outside are very smooth and comfortable.I ordered up a size on this, because I always do that with jackets or coats so I can fit a heavy sweater or sweatshirt under them, and that worked out fine, but there's not much extra room in the larger size with a sweater underneath it. I'd probably be better off wearing a slim-fitting top with this jacket.This jacket comes in black, paprika (a deep orange), and sulphur, which is a mostly yellow fabric with green tones in it. To be honest, I'd advise anyone against buying the sulphur colored jacket. I guess you might glow in the dark wearing that, but there isn't much listing information, so I have no way of knowing much about the jacket. Black seems the way to go to me, and that's what I ordered. I like the black, and the jacket's very comfortable.We'll all have to wait to see what this BWarm tech does in cold weather. As I said above, there's not much information available on this jacket. Here's the information I found in the middle of the listing: "With plenty of loft and lots of warmth, the Sierra Recycled Puffer Jacket is just what you need for chilly weather adventures great and small. The matte finish is subtly stylish, and the fact that this vest is made from recycled materials only adds to the warm, fuzzy feeling."The fact that this is a Bass product gives it a lot of credibility with me. They are NOT known for making bad products, and this jacket is no exception to that. It's cut well, it fits well, and there's no way of knowing now how warm this jacket will be in winter. It's made with BWarm tech, which keeps you cozy in cold weather. I have a feeling Bass is up to something new with this and it will turn out to be a new lightweight, very warm fabric, but we'll have to wait and see. The jacket comes in three colors, black, paprika, and sulphur. We'll just pretend the sulphur jacket doesn't exist for now so I won't have to think of something to say about it. The jacket doesn't have a hood, which I always like, and it has side pockets, a full zip front, and elastic cuffs. It's comfortable, lightweight, and fits true to size, but ordering up a size in this jacket, considering you'll be wearing winter clothes, isn't a bad idea. I'm glad I did that. I've been buying and wearing Bass shoes since I was in junior high school, and I've never gotten a bad product from Bass, so I'm content to wait until winter gets here to see how this BWarm Tech works.I can't forget to add that, in the listing picture, the model is wearing a sports bra or a top that looks like one, leggings, and this jacket, with her belly fully exposed. Does anyone go about like that in wintertime? I hope not. If I looked like she does, I might but just in the early fall. I thought that was a strange choice for this ad, but what do I know about advertising?Excellent product, a comfortable, very well made 100% cotton jacket from Bass that's lined, has elastic cuffs and a zippered front, and is lightweight. It's made of something called
