Bought this for doing work on construction sites. I don't work outside but I do have to bring materials in so I needed a decent jacket. Big puffy jackets don't work for me because they get wrecked quick and it doesnt take long before Im sweating in 10 degree weather. This is nice because it keeps you warm and you can wash it once a week. Its not very good for protecting against wind. I could also be tricking my self into believing this jacket is good because Chicago weather this year has been crazy mild.
