So far the jacket has held up. Fairly warm (I live in Colorado) with a flannel or long sleeved shirt on under it. I wouldn't hang around out side for more than a couple hours in it. Good for running around doing errands or short, outdoor activities in the winter. Based on how it feels (material wise) I'd say it's more like a $45-$55 jacket. I think you are just paying for demand vs. supply, and in my case, the style ( I love the look of it). Overall, Im happy with the purchase.
