I bought this jacket to keep in my car just in case the weather turned cooler unexpectedly. It is a good fall to early winter jacket (for California), but would be a little thin for really cold weather.I did wear it during a recent rain and I probably would not do it again if were to rain heavily. It is water resistant but barely. I didn't buy it for rain protection, so I won't knock it for that.The jacket itself looks great and fit was just about perfect. For reference, I am 5'10 175 lbs and it sits just at my lower waist.The bag to store it in is attached on the inside and is very convenient, since I would probably lose it if it wasn't connected. You can untie it and store it in a pocket that is also inside the jacket.For the price, it is a great buy and I find myself wearing it more often than my more expensive thicker jackets. My wife even borrowed it on a cool day and wanted the woman's version. Perfect for a stocking stuffer gift for her!
