Amazing jacket
So glad this jacket - from Nau golden era of design - is still available. And at this price! Great design, top quality, well made, lots of pockets, waterproof and breathable = lots to like.

Incredible Value
I am 5'10", 35 inch chest and 135 lbs. Purchased a size small. Nau is my go-to brand as they have streamlined cuts as standard. The Quintessentshell jacket is slim in the torso with longer arms. The snaps at the cuffs and waist have just enough adjustment to be functional and not just decorative. The style is easy to dress up, with the added bonus that I don't have to worry about rain showers. The hood looks good, and has good coverage in the rain. My only complaint are the lower pockets. The top entry pockets are narrow (easily fit a large cellphone, but tough to stuff a thick beanie in) and the side-entry pocket zip is small, which makes putting your hands in the side-entry pockets slightly uncomfortable. The main zips and snaps on Nau products are just so much better than other brands. It's not something we talk about much, but every day I zip up and snap, I find myself grateful that nau puts energy into high-quality parts. After a winter with this jacket, I can put a fleece on and throw this on over the top and know that I'll be comfortable in a huge range of temps. Overall, I'm thrilled with the jacket.

Quintessentshell jacket
Excellent. This is the second of these jackets I've bought. Love the color, quality- and it keeps me dry! I've gotten numerous compliments on it.

Excellent Value
This style harkens back to the Golden Age of Nau design. Add the a deep discount due to the discontinued Heritage line and you have what is possibly the best deal (steal) anywhere.
