To me, a jacket should protect you from cold weather. Yes, this will offer another layer of weather protection, but not like a typical jacket would. However, it provides an excellent protection from rain and snow to your upper body and head.

I got a medium jacket in white color. It looks attractive now, but it might be stained easily and may not look good if that happens.

The jacket is bit larger than I was hoping for, but will work fine. There are two big pockets on the inside (one on each side) two regular size zippered pockets on the outside. These pockets will be of great use when you have to move the contents of your pants pockets. Cuffs have Velcro fasteners and they are very convenient and quick to operate. The waist and hood have rope fasteners to tighten them snugly.

The main zipper has two handles and two operating mechanisms. I don't understand the purpose and I have never used a zipper like this. I wish the instruction sheet explained how that helps. Main zipper has the fabric overlap to prevent water from seeping in. All the seams and joints are well sealed to protect from water leakage.

The material being 100% nylon, it smells like plastic. I am sure the smell will go away soon. The material is thin and allows me to fold the jacket into small package.

Overall, the jacket is quite good and I like it. I wish the size was a bit smaller. I also wish that there was a lining on the inside for warmth so it could be called a jacket.
