This jacket gets a lot of compliments, even if it is sometimes mistaken for a duster.  It has been tested in heavy rain, and has kept me dry.  With the liner installed, it is warm, and it does a good job of blocking out the wind.

The buttons seem like they might need replacement over time, as they don't seem overly durable and the stitching that holds them on does not seem particularly strong, but they aren't as bad as some reviews suggest.
