Comments about Kuhl Alpenwurx Jacket - Men's:
The jacket is excellent except for one little flaw which is why it does not have a 5. The zip ties on both sides of the jacket that adjust the bottom width come undone, you have to keep tightening the length. Every time I zip up they slide out, maybe use better clips/fasteners or something
Other then that, I love it.

Comments about Kuhl Alpenwurx Jacket - Men's:
It is a good jacket with good looks and comfortable wear. The fur around the collar should warrant some concern as the jacket should be dry cleaned, in my opinion, to save the fur. Good jacket and mostly warm in varying conditions. Does run bigger than other brands.

Comments about Kuhl Alpenwurx Jacket - Men's:
Both my teenage boys love this jacket. They are ages 14 and 17. It has become a popular part of their basic jacket wardrobe. When the weather calls for it, that's their choice. They are extremely comfortable and have great pockets - both essential for a teenager. And they are warm.

Comments about Kuhl Alpenwurx Jacket - Men's:
The faux leather patches on forearm and shoulder are more stylish than useful, but at worst harmless. Sizing seems wonky, I don't normally fit into a small but this small is a good fit. I like the thumb holes, zippered chest pocket is great for my phone, sheepskin collar and zipper backing make it warm and very comfortable. A little thicker than the fleece I was replacing, but it's plenty warm for me in Pittsburgh winter on my long walk to and from work. The cloth lining makes it way more wind-resistant than fleece (it's still not intended to be a wind-breaker). I was a little iffy about it when I first got it, but I've quickly become enamored.

Comments about Kuhl Alpenwurx Jacket - Men's:
This is a very comfortable smart looking jacket but when it is cold out you will need a heavy sweater or sweatshirt under it to stay warm. If it had a liner it would be great.

Comments about Kuhl Alpenwurx Jacket - Men's:
Recently spent two weeks in Aspen/Snowmass, Colorado and found that this jacket met all my needs of warmth and comfort. Easy to store in the aircraft overhead bins, and light to carry when inside terminal. Light snow did not affect the garment at all and seem to just brush off.
Highly recommended....! No negative comments...!

Comments about Kuhl Alpenwurx Jacket - Men's:
I have a winter fleece for work provided by the postal service that is plenty warm and breathable and was looking for a personal one for casual winter wear. Although very stylish this product was neither warm nor wind resistant. The wind cut right through the jacket leaving the wearer chilled on a early December day when the temp was right around 30 degrees. Doubt it will help much when the temps are in the 20's or below.

Comments about Kuhl Alpenwurx Jacket - Men's:
Everyone who sees me wearing this jacket remarks on how great it looks. It is just as comfortable as it looks. My wife wanted to buy an identical one, but Kuhl does not make one. Instead, she bought a different Kuhl hoodie which looks great on her.
I have always been impressed with Kuhl products (I own pants, shirts, jackets) but this jacket beats them all.

Comments about Kuhl Alpenwurx Jacket - Men's:
With the XL the arms are just a tad to small to use the thumbholes, however the chest fits perfect. My two main problems are too much room in the torso which allows cold air in (the draw chord doesn't hold well and is ineffective) and their is virtually zero wind block, which means you feel the slightest breeze. However, layered with a rain jacket it provides superb warmth and comfort. If you're looking to layer, go for it, if you want an all in one you might want to keep looking.
