I used this jacket a few times while working in rainy and cold conditions. I have since received another jacket which my wife is more fond of, so I’m going to sell this one. There is an outer and inner jacket, so it comes with two jackets. Works very good as a wind breaker, and from my experience it is mostly waterproof in torrential downpour. There are buttons on the bottom to snap into snow pants.
