Is this jacket warm enough for winter?

It is a long puffer with a mock neck, so it traps heat along the torso and upper legs. For deep cold or wet weather, plan to layer underneath and treat it as a city coat rather than a technical winter shell.

Does the long length restrict movement?

A long puffer covers the hips and upper legs, which adds warmth but can feel bulky when sitting or climbing stairs. Size with layering in mind if you plan to wear thick sweaters under it.

No. It is a fashion puffer, not a rain shell. Light snow is fine, but steady rain will soak the outer fabric.

What is the mock neck for?

The mock neck stands up around the throat to block wind and keep warmth in, without the bulk of a full hood or tall collar.

How does it compare with a short puffer?

The long cut covers more of the body and is warmer on the legs, but it is heavier and less packable than a hip-length puffer. Choose this one for cold commutes, a short puffer for milder days and travel.
