This is an excellent lightweight jacket, well suited for cool days in early spring or fall. It keeps me dry in typical west coast weather. The fabric breathes enough that I don't feel too warm coming indoors.
It looks good. I get compliments. I want a jacket that doesn't look junky. Glennaker just looks good.
It fits well. I am medium-heavy build, 6 foot, and normally take men's XL. The Glennaker XL is a good loose fit. I can lift up my arms without the jacket riding up over my belly. The length in the torso allows me to relax.
It's well made. The material and stitching is good. The zipper is simple and metal and doesn't catch on the fabric when you zip up. Don't you hate jackets that have fiddly zippers! This zipper is good.
The hood is concealed inside the collar. Some jackets of similar design use fabric too heavy for the hood, so when you roll it up inside the collar, it stands up against the back of your neck. This one doesn't do that (unless I want it to, e.g., on windy days, zipped up all the way). I turn the collar down, and it stays down, and it's comfortable. The picture on your left is accurate in that regard.
The inside pocket closes with velcro. If I could change one thing, it would be to move the pocket closer to the shoulder, but it's fine as is. (I tend to carry a lot of stuff in the pocket.)
This is my favorite lightweight jacket. It packs flat and is very good value. I like it so much I bought another in a different colour for backup.
Notice: The photograph for Mountain/Collegiate Navy is wrong. It should show navy shoulders and moss green torso.
Hope that helps!
