I got this as a mid weight jacket for my hubby for those days when he needed more than a wind breaker but less than a heavy coat. Turns out its more like a windbreaker that doesnt actually stop the wind too much. But its a nice color (I got the navy blue) and its got a hood. Its not waterproof so it cant be a rain jacket. So its a weird in between jacket that doesnt have a go-to purpose. Not bad quality- just not a specific need for it.
