- Is this jacket actually flame resistant?
- Yes. Ariat markets it as FR clothing, with a flame-resistant cotton shell and synthetic insulation. Check the label for the specific FR rating your job requires before relying on it.
- How warm is it?
- It is a midweight insulated jacket, warm enough for cool to cold days and for layering under a heavier FR coat. It is not a replacement for a heavy FR parka in deep winter.
- How does it fit?
- The cut is boxy and roomy through the body, which leaves space for layering. Some women size down; check Ariat's size chart against your measurements.
- Can I wear it in rain?
- No. The cotton shell is not waterproof, so wear a rain shell over it or choose a waterproof FR outer layer in wet weather.
- What is it made of?
- A cotton shell with synthetic filling, a full zip front and long sleeves. It is solid black.
- How does it compare with a heavy FR parka?
- It is lighter and less bulky, so it layers better and is easier to move in. A heavy FR parka gives more warmth and weather protection on its own.
- Where is the Ariat Women's FR Cloud 9 Insulated Jacket cheapest?
- At Ariat, for $299.95, as of our latest check.
