Is the Icy Hill jacket actually waterproof?

Yes. The shell is listed as waterproof and windproof and includes Gore-Tex and synthetic fabrics, so it is built for rain and snow rather than drizzle only.

What kind of fill does it use?

It uses a 90% down, 10% feather fill that is RDS certified, so the down is traceable. Down is warm for its weight but needs the waterproof shell to stay dry.

How does the fit run?

The fit is described as loose and straight. That leaves room for a fleece or sweater underneath, but slim wearers may find it roomy.

Is it good for hiking or just around town?

It is listed as a hiking and outdoor winter jacket, with a hood and reflectors for low light. It works for city winters too, but the loose cut is aimed at layering on the trail.

What is the best price right now?

The best new price is $151.63 at Scandinavian Outdoor as of November 7, 2026. Only one store lists a new price, so there is little to compare against.
