This jacket is cool when it needs to be and warm in all kinds of weather.  Rain beads up on it and never penetrates.  It is a jacket I can wear with my casual dress up or going to the gym.  Awesome buy and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a coat.  I also love that it cam in a 2X Tall because North Face did not come in anything over 2X.  Extra long sleeves and length are awesome!!!
