I bought this jacket as a replacement for my previous Columbia jacket that I seem to have lost. That was a great jacket as well but the outer material was different, more of a nylon woven type of material. This jacket is more of a shell. The design is very sharp, smooth and simple. The material is extremely resistant to dirt. I was recently working an event where the jacket was under a table on a concrete floor for the entire day. I was worried about it getting very dirty, but when I pulled it out there was no dirt on it in spite of there being a lot of dust bunnies. Love the jacket and will replace it with the same kind when this one has lived its full life and moved on to jacket heaven.
