- Is this jacket actually waterproof?
- Yes. The nylon shell is listed as both waterproof and water repellent, so it handles steady rain. Seams are not described as taped, so very heavy downpours may still let moisture through at the stitching.
- How warm is it for winter?
- The fleece lining gives it real warmth for cold, wet days, and the longline cut blocks wind at the hips. For deep winter cold it works best with a sweater underneath rather than as a stand-alone piece.
- How does the longline cut compare with a regular hooded jacket?
- It covers the hips and upper thighs, so it sheds rain lower and adds warmth where a waist-length jacket leaves a gap. The trade-off is less freedom of movement and more bulk when you sit down.
- What sizes does it come in?
- It is offered in XS through XL with a straight fit. The straight cut is roomy enough for a midlayer, so most shoppers can take their usual size.
- How should I wash it?
- Machine wash at 30 degrees. Avoid hot water and high heat, which can damage the water-repellent finish on the nylon.
- Is it breathable enough for active wear?
- Not really. Nylon with a fleece lining traps heat, so it suits commuting and walking rather than hiking or cycling at pace.
