OK - those who like me are needing a sizing chart - one can be found via a link on the page here:

Cheapest I find this anywhere else is $40. Good deal...

Anyone know how warm these are? Cant seem to find the temperature rating anywhere? Seems like a really good deal but I would love to know how they feel.

It zips all the way up and has a flap that covers the zipper. Perfect for motorcycle riding. In for two colors!

Looks like a good deal to me also. And should be more than enough for CA. In for the grey and black.

Is the jacket material reflective, or non-reflective?

My instincts told me to pass on the black friday deals for jackets that I found (good thing too because this smokes them). This will be great for layering. In for one!

shouldn't existence outperform non-existence by infinity percent??? what type of second rate existence is woot pedalling now, damn amazon!

This is a bargain!
Got 3 grab bag shirts and now a nice jacket to go along with it.

With free shipping and a 5.00 off code, 14.99. Pretty good deal!

It's thin enough to layer without getting too bulky, and at a great price point. In for one.

At that price, you'll be "In Like Flint" and looking your James Colburn best!

The actual FILA site is selling these for $100? Yowsa.

I bought 3 sets of supposed xbox head phones a few months back. The deal didn't work out too well and the woot staff more than made up for the mistake by giving me a nifty code :D

You can also earn/get a code from the fabulous jumbowoot if you participate at deals.woot.com.

I bought the energy shots and unlocked free shipping for the day. Cheap wench that I am, I'm going to search for something else to buy :p

Help me here, please, my Woot pals. Fila is a decent brand, yes? I don't know a thing about this sort of stuff, but I'm thinking about buying one of these for a brother who is 50-something. I think he'd like this & it looks good, but I'd like an "AMEN" or two before I hit that big button. Thanks.

One for me, and a $20 jacket for my growing kids? YES!

For the unwashed, what is a "bonded" hem and cuff? And, why is it advantageous?

I was just going to ask this myself, didnt see an explanation on line anywhere on a brief search.

I think it means that if the hem/cuff (they work as a team) reaches in an steals stuff out of the pocket FILA will replace the stolen items. You have to be careful with these foreign coats.

Do these jackets run larger or smaller? And how much of a difference is there in torso length between S and M?

Hope this helps!

are the jackets for men or women? sizes would mean more with that info

What's with the random Great Leader references?

Alexander the Great Lining?

Napoleon zip chest pocket?

Oh, I get it. It's a joke.

shafferbrandon wrote:For the unwashed, what is a "bonded" hem and cuff? And, why is it advantageous?

It's not "advantageous." This is just a "disclosure" so you won't be disappointed when you discover that the hems and cuffs are formed by folding the material and gluing it together, instead of sewing the material.

Question: How do i buy three different color/sizes? It allows me to add just one, or 3 of the same size/color.

Any suggestions?

What i want is...1 Red XL, 1 Grey XL, and 1 Red M or L. How do i go about doing that?

Judging from the close-up photos, these jackets look very similar to one I bought at REI a couple years ago. I think "bonded" means the two layers (outside and inside) are bonded together (by heat treatment?); so, as some have mentioned, this a light jacket good for layering. The issue I have with my REI version is that the fleecy inside layer is clingy, and a long sleeve shirt rides up my arm when I put the jacket on. BTW, I paid $50 on sale.

Select 3, and three dialogs will pop up allowing you to choose size/color for each. At least it worked that way for me.

Many thanks Billy

Hemmed seams are lighter, don't chafe and are waterproof. Pretty standard for more high tech active gear and hiking clothing.

i wish it were the ASCEND I like that one better. Zipper pockets and a shoulder/arm pocket as well... This still seems nice, I think I'll buy it.

From a quick googling for "napoleon pocket": http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Why_is_it_called_a_napoleon_pocket

Whenever I wear a jacket with one, I get this inescapable urge to conquer the world. Is this normal?

Also, here is a problem... I want a RED one, but the "RED" one offered here seems more maroon...whereas the actual red one is blazing red (as I want). So, is the item offered here the ACTUAL red one (as seen here http://l3.zassets.com/images/z/2/0/5/1/8/3/2051833-p-MULTIVIEW.jpg ) or is it the darker, more maroon, color in the woot pictures?


EDIT. did more googling, and the image for the "JESTER RED" on FILA's site is the same as the WOOT image for the red...but other places show the JESTER RED as the red in the image I linked to above... Now I am confused.

EDIT AGAIN. Decided to jump on a RED one and take a chance. When the purchase page came up, it had yet another image of the jacket shown nowhere else, showing the red as a nice bright blazing red. Why can't all the images be accurate? lol

I have a $5 off code but how did you get free shipping too?

He bought the Sqwincher Steady Shot Energy Drink 12pk on another Woot site.
You got free shipping if you already bought something today good until midnight.
