- Is the Galesburg jacket waterproof?
- No. The Rain Defender finish repels light rain and blocks wind, but seams are not sealed and it wets out in steady rain. Treat it as a water-resistant shell.
- How warm is it?
- It is unlined and thin, so it adds little warmth alone. It works best over a hoodie or flannel in cool weather and is not a winter coat.
- How does it compare with Carhartt's duck canvas jackets?
- It is lighter, stretchier and more weather-resistant than duck canvas, but less abrasion-proof and less warm. Choose canvas for heavy wear and cold; choose this for movement and drizzle.
- What sizes does it come in?
- It is sold in men's regular sizes from small upward, in gray. Check the size chart, since some wearers find the sleeves long.
- Can it be machine washed?
- Yes, but wash cold and skip fabric softener to protect the water-repellent finish. Expect to re-treat the fabric with a spray-on DWR after repeated washes.
